Interesting. I recall watching an old movie from that era (probably at the recommendation of a freeper thread) that was about a country that, iirc, had isolated itself and kept up a fake war to keep it’s people in control. The technology they had was before the engine and electricity iirc.
Then a helicopter / air balloon type thing lands. It is from something like the U.N. where the entire rest of the world has joined together in a utopian world with no fighting.
I probably have some of that wrong, and I can’t recall how it ends - but it is interesting to see how they viewed the future.
Sounds like the shape ofThings to come
With raymond Massey.
Set in a dystopian England
After a war.
Have never dug into it all but some of HG Wells’ politics have seemed globalist utopian.
Yes, you got some of that wrong, but it was without question "Things to Come" (based on the book "The Shape of Things to Come," by H.G. Wells), starring Raymond Massey.
Regards,
That was H.G Well’s “Things To Come’’. Raymond Masse is the man in the helicopter/balloon flying machine. Ralph Richards plays “The Boss’’, the tribal chief.
Sorry, I meant to say Ralph Richardson plays “The Boss’’.
Sounds like North Korea.
