    I've heard various suggestions of movies to show a dub.

    Those of us with a spouse / family in the borg might find it pretty useful to rent such movies as just another way of chipping away at the indoctrination, or drawing attention to the WTS control tactics.

    One movie I saw which was somewhat helpful was one called "Equilibrium", which was suggested on this board a while back. Its about a society that has acheived peace and order by requiring everyone to repress their emotions through sedatory drugs. The good thing about this one was when it showed how everyone was so indoctrinated to follow the directives of the organization in charge, with every person keeping an eye on everyone else. There was an extreme suspicion and fear of those who were harboring doubts or were secretly not complying with the program.

    Anyone know of any good movies to suggest?

    The Truman Show was pretty subtle in this regard, but it did show how it is desireble to escape from an "idllylic" world that is totally scripted and manipulated. Even though it was the main character's only world he ever knew, and the outside world was full of uncertainty and suffering, he empowered himself to make the break. There are lots of far-reaching implications in this film that could generate discussion and thought. Edited: U/D ya beat me to it!

    What about 1984? I never saw it. I have a feeling it might suck even if it would be relevant.
