If you can, watch Mission Impossible 2. Wouldn't believe how prophetic it's about to become.

V For Vendetta. Got the whole current timeline script down.
We are in bizarro world V for Vendetta.
One of the most insightful observations I've read in recent memory was someone who said something like "we've been trained our whole lives to recognize the aesthetics of a right-wing totalitarian state, so we didn't recognize the left-wing totalitarian state when it arrived in a rainbow-colored police car with police officers who dance in a tik tok video right before they break down your door and arrest you for having too many people in your home."
It's a classic move that governments make to bring in soldiers or police who don't have any connection to a particular community to police that community.
Though after watching local cops act with that same totalitarian fervor over grandma sitting in a chair on the beach, maybe all law enforcement has become so totalitarian that doesn't matter as much anymore.
It's good, but I like Morgoth's take that it's inverted reality. And that review was written 6 years ago, and things have deteriorated a lot since.
