A Great Movie Symbolic Of Today's World

[MortSahlFan]

Very simple story, but a great microcosm of the American system... Probably my 3rd favorite movie, and I've reviewed over 2,000. And it's free in full on YouTube

"They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"

That would be The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Good versus evil. It's all fantasy, but yes, it applies. I see it as an allegory. The orcs remind me of ISIS and terrorists in general. The elves, men and dwarves can play as UK, AUS and the US.

Good analogy! Funny how a lot of these movie plots end up happening in real life. There is a movie called 'Contagion' which I never watched but my wife told me about it when the Corona pandemics started, and it almost predicted the whole thing.

I watched Contagion back in 2015 and dear lord was it boring. Only Kate Winslet carried the film. But after rewatching it in post COVID, it actually made more sense and was interesting to the least considering how it echoed the real life pandemic.
