I love dystopian movies with a passion, and this could've been a MUCH better film (for me, anyways) if they'd had less or more subtle 'messages'.
I know what you mean! It's the kind of thing that makes me want to do a massive dystopian crossover: Six, Equilibrium, Logan's Run, Aeon Flux...which I know I won't do, because I don't have enough time as it is, but it's tempting!
I wonder if I'm wincing because those scenes really ARE that bad, or because of my anti-ness.
Could be some of both. It's pretty bad! There was a time in my life when I probably would've started foaming at the mouth and growling "Oh, bullshit!" at the screen. What's ironic is, the Unitarian philosophy that's given me a more relaxed perspective is *exactly* the kind of thinking Six's creators were railing against.
