I watch Demolition Man for the first time the other night. I always heard people say it predicts our current time and I definitely see that. The fines for profanity were funny, but hate speech laws are worse than that. Also the banning of meat and and salt

Modern Hollywood would fucking love this.
True but I enjoyed it. I don’t see why it’s racist. It’s not racist to have black ppl be the villains. Wesley Snipes did a great job in Demolition Man and Denzel in training day. But I’m sure Hollywood would totally change up the book
But black/brown people wouldn't be the villains in a Hollywood version, Farnham would be. They'd simply be portrayed as getting revenge on their oppressors, whereas Farnham would be portrayed as an abusive rapist.
Exactly. But a faithful adaptation would be cool. I think it’s a very thought provoking book
