Henri Ryssen deserves much credit for compiling this large sampling of subversive films and TV shows. Another one from the Wachowskis (I believe both now wear “womanface”) is V for Vendetta. I was anxious to see this movie, as it was supposedly based on resistance to totalitarianism. Like The Matrix, the message is twisted, and there is a sub-plot of homosexual persecution. The totalitarian state is, of course, religious in nature and there is the obligatory pedo-perv bishop. I seem to recall crosses colored red prominently displayed when the dictator spoke. The hero wears a Guy Fawkes mask, which would indicate some understanding of who he was, yet there is no mention in the movie that he was a Catholic dissident. Maybe this was an attempt to recast Fawkes as a libertarian? I don’t know.

If we actually had schools, a class on understanding the propaganda nature of “the media” would be required in every grade.
