A movie from 15 years ago, which is kinda of a predictive way society is going.

Remember those movies about pandemics that came out a few years before the Covid hit?

This film is of the same sort.....

‘Never Let Me Go’ (novel) by Kazuo Ishiguro is another mind-bender in a similar vein.

I liked that movie. I think it made it somewhat clear that when the surrogates went home the humans would get out of their pods and roam about for food and entertainment.

“ This film is of the same sort.....”

The movie Idiocracy is a documentary.
