THX 1138
"They've been watching us. I can feel it. They're watching us now."Well I would love to be roommates with Donald Pleasence and share a dorm, but this might just be me lol.
This is such a strange and beautiful film. It’s crazy how George Lucas imagined this dystopian and powerful future, and that it is kind of accurate. I adore the world building, and I am sad that I will never see more of this interesting universe. While you watch this movie you are trapped in the construction and the architecture. This is one of the most visually and aurally textured visions of surveillance, labor and drug use.
I also think this movie is far to short for its complexity. It leaves up much space for imagination for the viewer. You can like or dislike this. This movie could have easily been 3-4 hours long and I would most likely not be bored.
Thx combines everything George might have learned and read about science fiction, I quote Orwell and Huxley, and makes an absolute banger of a film. Sadly this didn't win any major awards ):
