We currently live in a world that often makes no sense. We are asked to believe one lie after another and see the prosecution of people for imagined slights and crimes. In other words, this film is very relevant to our world. I read the book back in the 1980's and thought it was a dystopic story about a world that I would never have to live in. I should have viewed as a cautionary tale because we are here now. Orion Welles did a good job putting his stamp on the story. At the end he used music often played when reviewing the atrocities of the Holocaust. It was the worst thing he could think of to describe what was happening to Joseph K so I can forgive that. The story shows how people's behavior changes when their choices are taken from them.
