Yesterday, the film appreciation course (every Saturday through November), we film Idiocracy, a film that perhaps in other conditions would never have chosen to see. Let's face the film is not good Is it bad? That's not to say I know: a movie that leaves you thinking it can not be all bad.
To explain the plot, the film begins by exposing the argument that more people with intelligence quotient (IQ) has fewer high children and more slowly than people with low IQ, who start having children very young, and do so at higher rates. After that happens to portray the life of Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson ), U.S. Army officer, a type of "average" in all its aspects, was selected for an experiment that was to freeze military for use in wartime but before the deadline one year to complete, the base is demolished and the contenders with their body and Rita, a prostitute who was the female part of the experiment, and end up waking up in the year 2505, humanity found a silly, can hardly communicate, victim of consumerism and unable to solve their own problems.
According to the film, 500 years before our time, natural selection did his giving priority to reproductive capacity rather than the intellectual and humanity lives in a world with mountains of garbage because it is capable of handling waste, does not know how the plants do not grow if watered daily with energy drinks books are read by people only rarely, a large corporation owns the economy, professional wrestling is the president of the United States, and television is so much garbage and outside the home.
I will not to tell you what happens, I really think it's irrelevant (and I do not like having the movies), I want to emphasize is that approach, the way we think is a very likely future, and perhaps closer than five hundred years . Today we live in a society where outstanding student who is disparagingly called "nerd" in which people know more about football than math, where politicians create mediocre laws to protect each other and where being "cool" is measured by the intoxicated at the end of each Saturday.
call people "idiot" is not pleasant, but I think the approach of the film is a timely wake-up call. We all have one fourth of a mile in everything we do. Not a complaint, I hate complaints is only a small nudge to pay attention, that in five hundred years when they discover how to bring back to life I live in the perfect world. Clearly, at this time even the bad is about to die, a clear example "Idiocracy."
