2001 Space Odissey. I then thought of Dr Strangelove. But it's too close to reality. Maybe a movie by Tarkovsky?

President: mark rutte. Mad general: trump

reply

coraliediatkine.bsky.social•46 days ago

Mark Rutte. I see. You are biased, he is from Nederlands ! In that case, I can suggest our Raphaël Glucksmann, but he is a little less naïve, and has less power. He is a EU pro european representative.

reply

coraliediatkine.bsky.social•46 days ago

Mark Rutte? I'm not from the US, I don't know who he is. The only person I can think of would have been Blinken, but he is not in the cast anymore. Trump : do you mean Turgidson, or Ripper?
Who could be Guano, the one who makes à point about refunding thé Coca Cola Company?
Mandrake : Zelensky?

A film that leaves you feeling unsettled + provides a profound + deep experience. Tot. Underrated. However, it symbolically illustrates what happens when you allow evil to dominate you and fail to fight back. There is also a US ver., but the Danish original is better.

Another classic is this one as well:

A high school teacher's experiment to demonstrate to his students what life is like under a dictatorship spins horribly out of control when he creates a social unit that takes on a life of its own.
