RE: Demolition Man a cult film made to shoot social critiques [Eng | Spa]

Definitely science fiction is full of this kind of stuff it's almost like all science fiction is some kind of social engineering. Especially Star Trek and it's obvious enough that it doesn't seem so subversive to be social engineering because we are aware of it and they're making it obvious it's not supposed to be a subconscious influence. But there are many movies or films or series where they will take something as a given like a prediction has happened because it's the future so they know what happens and that will be global warming we're all underwater because people like me convince the rest of you not to stay home and not drive. In Water World, we see the world is flooded everywhere. It's very clear that a lot of movies are spreading this kind of let's make women be the hero characters but they're not really characters. They are male characters with actress playing them.

I guess all Sci-fi tries to go to social engineering one way or another because society is what changes the most with time and space, do remind how quickly human society changed when electricity was created and the changes that came with the cellphone to work habits, in this film there was a severe population reduction due massive earthquakes so pollution stopped being a mayor problem, as there were not much of people alive to contaminate at all, in fact there is a small segment when in the museum, Phoenix is finding out about "future weapons" and a great ww3 is mentioned slightly as the origin of powerful new weapons and how it accounted for massive losses and used no ammo at all but a rechargeable battery instead. So there are severe evidences of these issues, also with the whole "changeroo" of characters from gender to personality, in my eyes the last big female character was Ripley, but heck, there have been a couple good characters after her so who knows, maybe I'm wrong :)
