Now I’d like to talk about a pretty amazing movie I just saw, "Things to Come," a 1936 movie based on the story by H.G. Wells.<\/p>\n

I got this off one of the public domain movie RSS channels on Miro<\/a>. You can download the whole thing<\/a> from the internet archive, should you so desire. <\/p>\n

It’s the story of the cycle of war and progress starting from the 1930s and stretching past the weird and distant 1970s.<\/p>\n

The prediction of a global war is eerily prophetic.
\n
\nOr perhaps not so much, considering what was happening in Germany at the time.<\/p>\n

After the war and the plagues, there was a period of barbarism, which only came to an end once the engineers took over.
\n
\nIt was the purpose of the engineers to instate a "freemasonry of science." This they did, with the help of all the weapons the freemasonry of science can build.
\n<\/p>\n

At this point, the film goes all utopian on us, and I wish that I had seen it when Super Dave put out his public call for<\/a> utopian movies.<\/p>\n

It’s a brilliant design of the future. A monumentally modern future of the sort that we don’t see too often.
\n
\nWith more than a little of the art deco aesthetic thrown in.
\n
\nI watched this and wished that Guy Madden would make a sci-fi epic like this. I would happily throw in everything I have to fund it. Because it would be just that awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
