The film is not learned nor great, but it does reflect a kind of alternative future and is worth thinking about (if not watching in its entirety). Of course, I'm speaking of Mike Judge's Idiocracy. The trailer gives you a sense of the thrust of the film.
What I find interesting about the film is how it links marriage and family with the transmission of culture. When the cultured "opt out" and the barbarians "opt in," a huge cultural shift is set into motion.
Is this film prophetic? I sure hope not. But I'm Not Sure.
