life in some future fascist or near fascist state which severely restrict personal freedom be a recurrent theme both in modern literature and for film maker . such work post u warning about undesirable trend in our society to watch out for while but to be effective they must also be entertain . unfortunately most of the book be probably more effective in post the warning than in entertain u enough to become really widely read while whilst with the film the problem be usually the other way round . the first such work to become really widely know be probably george orwell 1984 ( first publish in 1948 ) and and this be still readily available both in the form of a book and a a film . watch or read it represent and then and when you be feel a little depressed by man inhumanity to man and reach for cinderella 2000. this be a feather light low budget film comedy base on the same theme which provide effortless but unrewarding view while and a with 1984 the calendar have now pass beyond it erstwhile period . most of the comedy be lay on with a trowel although there be just a few genuinely funny moment . to exercise your mind in the long interval between these you can focus it on the question of whether this film will gain a new extension of life by be release a a dvd or whether it will finally disappear into oblivion a exist tape copy deteriorate past redemption . there be many bad film appear a dvd these day and and frankly i do not care much what happen either way . so far the best of the film of this genre have probably be the handmaiden tale and but i would very happily swap them all for a well make film of jack london tower novel the iron heel . ambitious a this would be and it still seem incredible that no modern film maker have yet dare to attempt it ( imdb only list a b or w silent version make in russia in 1919 ) .
