In case you haven’t heard, H.R. 1540: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 or NDAA, is not your typical defense spending bill. It gives authority to the president (or perhaps it’d be more fitting to call him king or ruler at this point) to order the military to indefinitely detain, or murder, a U.S. citizens without official charge or trial on the mere suspicion of being a terrorist or linked to a terrorist organization.
The visual style of this film is STILL dazzling, almost a genre unto itself that if anyone attempted to repeat it - even as an hommage - they would be accused of filmic plagiarism. One of Lucas's few films that actually shows his ability as a composer of images.
Note how the trailer makes the fact it was cleverly filmed in existing locations a virtue. Now notice how the Special Edition makes a nonsense of this by building the locations up with GGI.
Leave things alone, George, PLEASE. No one thinks you're making them better.
@EDDIEinWAR THX 1138 was made in 1971 so somehow I doubt it. It can be said it was inspired by Nineteen Eighty Four, Brave New World, Metropolis et al though.
@MaverickMediaUK I would say, more than 1984 and Brave New World, that the Novel WE inspired this movie. Could be wrong, but the way the people had numbers instead of names and were all bald, guys and gals, just makes me think of that book.
@dwdeline55 You may well be right as the synopsis sounds very like THX. I haven't read We yet, I keep meaning to. I've just downloaded the ebook so I'll get started. Cheers for reminding me.
it was hilarious when the black guy took off and crashed the car in like 6 seconds... i was like oh finally he starts the car.. and 5 seconds later Crash!!!
@MaverickMediaUK Book? This film is based in two books: 'Brave new world' by Aldous Huxley and '1984' by HG Wells. You don't lie to the people, please.
@hefcore What are you crapping on about and where did I lie you mongrel? THX1138 can be said to be based on those books but it can also be said to be based on others such as We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.
