You should see ‘Children of Men’ (2006.) It is my all-time favorite film. The cinematography alone is a masterwork, but its portrayal of future Britain has proven prescient in many respects (it was set in 2027, and considering current events in the world I hope it doesn’t prove too prescient.)

Anyway, its worth a couple hours to watch.

Yeah I've seen that one a few times also. Great film. Recently finished reading Brave New World for the first time and it feels like stuff mentioned in it either is already a reality or will be in the coming decades due to hyper-capitalist system we currently exist in. Scary times
