A
Marshall Mathers rebel-type man has failed to see the
importance of making his voice heard and he’s in for a
rude awakening.
It may have been a dream, perhaps a parallel
Borgesian reality coming to warn him that his own apathy
is an apocalyptic epicenter. In this
plural-tone film, he journeys back to a nondescript
starting-over point. Along the way,
he is confronted with the fruits of his
unresponsiveness, and is given the chance for
redemption.
This time, he is sure to inspire others as they
travel in real time toward the future. Even so, nobody
knows what is real.
Though
left of center on views of liberty lost, it could easily
be seen as right of center in regard to the urgency for
national security.
Again, it depends on what the viewer reads in the
text. With
the exception of the opening dialogue and the trailing
tagline, we’ve done our best to keep any specific
political statements out of this work in an attempt to
foment a voter response regardless of affiliation. It is fair to
state, however, that one should question the price we’re
paying in liberty to exchange for security (Davis,
147).
Benjamin Franklin once declared that exchanging
one for the other would result in the loss of both. We’re under
surveillance in nearly every public space, we’re on
stage in this, the grand Panopticon we call society
(Foucault, 63).
