     @owenblacker absolutely this I feel like it’s the proximity that makes it invisible. It’s such a European view of of how America sees itself

     @BethanyBlack It's such a good film for all the reasons you describe and I am still angry and frustrated that the main problem seems to be that the incredibly-blatant satire of US fascism was somehow still too subtle for Americans.

     But then see also RoboCop and Total Recall, I guess.
