Metaphor for late stage capitalism?
Property, Property, Property!
This film struck me as kinda a metaphor for late stage capitalism. Not even a metaphor really since the George character says something like "This country is at a crossroads! They're either coming for the property of your mind or your body or your hands!" That's the situation for all the main characters. Every one of them has somebody coming for the property of one of those aforementioned forms of property. The desolate country landscapes, the empty bars, the people confined to wheelchairs, and the real life animals that have somewhat psychic powers and dread in their eyes represent an America in rapid decline. The fact that this film appeared to be written years before the polarized insanity we currently live in seems somewhat prophetic.
Very much recommend.
