tOfficial Demolition Man 2 hype thread

Imagine thinking a drama show can compare to something from the silver screen

Is that the movie where Sly makes it with Sandra Bullock?

You seem to fail to understand the weight of Demolition Man. Is it a goofy 90s action movie? Yeah. But, beneath the fun facade is a dystopian story that is horrifying to consider.

Free speech is banned
Sex, tobacco, meat, and salt are illegal
It is implied eugenics is a policy (as pregnancy is illegal without a license)
Tyranny seems to exist (kochtoe or however it's spelled is a tyrant)
Music is removed (due to it being a form of speech and free thought) and replaced with corporate jingles that would not make people think about anything beyond consumerism
Monopolies are allowed (as seen by taco bell being the only restauraunt) and no doubt corporatism can run amok
People are clearly weakened by these changes to ensure as Phoenix says "take away their right to be a$$holes" ie: their right to do what they wish.

And weirdly, it predicted the soy boy meme. Edgar Friendly pretty much states this when he says "I've seen the future, you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sittin' around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener""
And of course the fact that people's hands are held by the state to the point of not knowing how to do anything (see cops not knowing how to make an arrest)

There's more of course, like the reprogramming of people's minds, I'm just scratching the surface. There's more to it than people give it credit for, more than a show about a drug dealer I'm guessing

Not much different than most sci-fi dystopias

Well yeah, most dystopian sci fi is based on it, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or some combination thereof. My point was not originality but how well that it's put to screen and the fact that, visually, books cannot do it justice as demolition man does

Some ex Soviet citizen actually claims it's based off a book he wrote and his ideas were stolen. No idea if thats true but eh still a good movie.

down vote from Harry Rex

Ah, I see you are a man of taste as well
