For me it’s Interstellar, it never fails to make me ugly cry at least twice during each viewing

    My favorite movie is probably Brazil (1985). It’s a dystopian movie, but the population is suppressed by absurd amounts a bureaucracy (also the state surveiling and killing it’s people). You need to fill out a form to fill out a form, and every screen is tiny, but magnified by a lens to be small instead.

    But what I really love about it is the the “terrorist” Archibald Tuttle (who, very much, is not the protagonist); a repair man, who risks execution by the state, zip lining around the city fixing things like the protagonist’s air condition.

    I think we should all strive to be more like Tuttle in our daily lives.
