Equilibrium was "what if The Giver was 1984, but also the matrix because it's 2002 and that's what sells" e: also a little Fahrenheit 451 sprinkled in there

World on a Wire is cool because it acknowledges the obvious irony of simulated world movies, that if you are capable of creating a simulated world then you probably live in one already.

Inception probably fits too, even if it was a later ~deconstruction~ of the concept

Haven't seen it but there's a 1997 movie called Nirvana about a video game character who achieves sentience and wants to die for good rather than die and be resurrected repeatedly. It also deals with multiple levels of reality. Being John Malkovich is another one from 1999 about people watching someone else's life. Strange Days might fit in as well.

If it has to be from the same time period like the rest of them, the first thing that comes to mind which fits all those points is Napoleon Dynamite e: Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist There are many such examples and they all suck loquacius has issued a correction as of 03:09 on Apr 16, 2022 |

Casey Finnigan posted:nah I think loquacious got it with napoleon dynamite. Ugly people in a small town in the real world with no action and no computers. No because it ends with a scene where the male underdog unleashes his true potential and solidifies a tenuous romance with a female character who exists largely only for that purpose. It’s basically the same plot as the matrix without the robots.

'01 instead of '99 but A.I. could also count since the main character joins their True People in the end.

just watched nomadland and its not socialist at all its kind of anticapitalist but it feels like the director made a deliberate effort to take an inherently anticapitalist premise and avoid invoking any socialist elements at all

Actually Chloé Zhao is a socialist becuase she made a movie that has a guy named Kingo

Whenever Kingo isn't on screen everyone should be asking Where Is Kingo

currently watching 1999's "The Straight Story" which is about an old man driving across the upper midwest on a riding mower. so far it's looking pretty anarchist and still a bit too much like the matrix to truly be its opposite
