I think you'd probably like the Mad Max movies too, as they have a lot of junk lying around the countryside and ruins of a once great civilisation.
I must admit I couldn't watch much of Mad Max because all the killing upset me.
What about the game Fallout? if you haven't played it, I suggest you do, you would love it.

What about the dystopia we currently live in? England aint up to much anymore, since labour got their claws into power, only in a dystopia could Bliar be running for EU president AND middle east peace advisor Tongue
I wonder if the USA is also heading for dystopia?
If they pull their collective heads out of their arses first, possibly, and once bush is gone.

What? Mine was a mere question as to how you are doing it?

Methinks someone takes things too personally because I have done what he aspires.


What? I always piss myself off.

I think that "1984" is the all-time classic.  As far as Huxley's "Brave New World" would be concerned, it is a lot like his Utopian classic "Island," making the whole concept of a civilization based on pleasure weird and paradoxical.  "1984" is more of a clear-cut attack on Stalinism.


Heh, 1984...well...what can I say.

I'd probably top myself if I had to endure such an existence, and I do NOT say that lightly.

How about "We" by Zamyatin? AFAIK it was THE book which inspired Huxley and Orwell to write their dystopias (there are quite many parallels between "We" and "Brave New World").
Fahrenhite 451, by Ray Bradbury. Don't remember if it's a novel or a short story (F451 is the temperature where paper catches fire).
"The Fifth Element" in my opinion, would be classed as a -sort of- utopia..it's hard to explain in depth.

I feel it has elements of both the modern day, dystopia AND utopia at the same time..the use of colour, the liberal media, hell the president of the world is black Tongue

It's just fun, lol.
CGI bullshit ;p

Spacestation looks like a circuit board ;]
I think the movie "The Element of Crime" by Lars von Trier is set in a dystopian world.
Now this, is coming from mr aff hardass himself (Tongue) "the old man of the empire"  "president shinra"  "that **** with the god complex", whatever you call me..

But Children of Men was, and is the MOST DEPRESSING film I have ever watched, only reason I didn't cry is because I was in public.
