During the scenes of Doom's kingdom and Doom's talk of peace and happiness, I said out loud "Ha, thats the sort of thing Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler said and did on the outside, while dark things loomed behind the scenes."
@JRoMEs152:i agree with u,even im of same age as u r & i hav watched this spider-man of 90's growing up as a kid &stumbled across utube suggestion2me& i m still <3 ing to watch such episodes.......ya it sure remind us the old days of ours....
@kristyjnh Yeah, I have, enjoyed it, it's kind of funny how some of his "predictions" came true but at the same time the world we live in is not entirely like the Brave New World: Religions are still around, there is rarely any censorship on classical books, and hallucinogenic drugs are still illegal. He was correct in how our society is obsessively hedonistic and views pain and suffering negatively, but I don't necessarily think this is a horrible tragedy as he makes it out to be.
For example, he was ironically right about how pregnancy and old-age will be perceived negatively, but what he forgets is that pregnancy is not merely perceived negatively in society as a taboo but rather having children is expensive and takes a lot of responsibility, which is why people are reluctant to have kids. Old-Age is considered negatively as well, but I think this correlates with the fact that as life-expectancy increases we expect to remain younger for quite a while.
While he views scientific/technological progress with skepticism and cynicism(hence dystopia view of progress), I think these progressions have a moral purpose in terms of alleviating unnecessary/excessive suffering, but I would agree with Huxley that taking drugs merely to cope with trivial emotional matters seems mentally unhealthy can is prone to form addictive habits/dependency. Huxley also point out the change in sexual morality, but I hardly find this to be problematic.
Ever since Alfred Kinsley pioneered on scientific research on sexuality, we have learned so much about sexuality and are able to learn to practice it with prudence (birth control, condoms, etc.). Also before the 1960's at least 40% Americans already had pre-marital sex. Now I'm not sure if Huxley was trying to convey any message on sexual morality, but given that Huxley was attracted to Mysticism and other-worldliness, it's not surprising that he has negative views on hedonism.
However, to be fair, Huxley wrote his book many years ago, and while his predications were coincidentally correct he obviously doesn't have the kind of foresight to understand why they were correct (no human beings have it anyways). You should read his other book called Perennial Philosophy which has to do with his views that religions are more similar than it seems. Anyways, I hope you didn't find my "review" to be too long and awkward.
@philonous09 Huxley also basically foresaw people's downfall via their wants and lusts vs. Orwell's thought that what we feared would get us. It's easy to take over people via giving them their base wants and desires.
Are these the same fantastic 4 from fantastic 4 tas
