Review of Idiocracy (2006) by Biopunk — 31 Dec 2016
You can really tell that this is from Mike Judge.Just like Beavis and Butt-head,its writing is focused on making fun of stupidity that we come across every day.Unlike Beavis and Butt-head,though,it features two normal protagonists in a society of morons,rather than two moronic protagonists in a society of normal people.
And it does this setting very well.The society of 2505 really feels like what the world would come to if it was run by idiots.News reporters are half naked,the president is basically Hulk Hogan,the most popular film is a still shot of someone's ass,and so on.
It really makes you reflect on yourself and think if you're contributing to society becoming like that.Makes you rethink if the things you like,people you admire,the way you talk or the food you eat make you an idiot.
For that,the movie's depressing,but it's the constructive kind of depressing.
