I'm half way through watching this film and a few things have struck me that i thought worth sharing.
If you have seen the film then try not to add spoilers for people that haven't as will i.
The use of mobile phones - I have an iphone and although i use it for apps and such i rarely use it for calls. The thing is though that we trust our phones, we trust wireless communication in general.
There have been a few scenes in this film that made me think, what if the message or the call you think you are getting from a friend is really sent by someone or something else? How would we tell?
What if external information is being tampered with before it reaches us?
Also they call God the chairman!
Out of all the names and positions they could use they use the head of a company or corporation. Why?
Is this subtle programming to make us feel helpless in some way?
" doors to get ahead are never locked when you are wearing one of our hats", i mean come on! The boss wears a hat thats how you know hes the boss among other things. Also hats represent part of a uniform. So if you want to get ahead of the game then tow the line?
I don't know....
"Maybe one day we won't write the plan, you will" Am i reading too much into this whole film? am i being too critical? I almost ruined a good film for myself by pausing and dissecting it every 10 minutes.
We are the creators of our lives and nobody else and once we get that breaker that blew or was removed replaced, we will know that we are God.
Anyway, its a good film, not great but good and worth the rental fee.
