Hi Rooster, I have not seen the current movie, however in 1966 I watched the original make directed by François Truffaut. It had Julie Christie and Oscar Werner...then, I thought its dystopian theme was so far out there as to be impossible, rather ridiculous.
Now, regarding the original theme...I am not so sure it is so ridiculous after all...our current emphasis on PC extreme...
Based on your evaluation I will NOT watch the current movie. However, I would be interested if you have any comments as to what is going on with the recent movie?
