I close the debatable triptych entitled by myself with the final installment of "the films I adored as a child" (I’m lying, it’s a masterpiece):
Logan's Run, 1976 - directed by Michael Anderson, main protagonist Michael York
We are in 2274, and the events described in the narrative have yet to occur: a hypothetical nuclear war exterminates humankind, and the survivors live in a closed-off, brilliant, and festive world created for that purpose: sex is only for fun, reproduction is done through cloning, and after the age of 30, to avoid the danger of overpopulation, through a sort of ascetic rite, one moves towards regeneration and reincarnation, or rather, this is what the mega computer controller makes the inhabitants believe... Logan5 is part of the system, but once he discovers the "principles" on which this system is based, Logan flees.
In the first two works, we played with contemporary analogies of the pandemic and climate change, but what are we playing with here? The points for reflection are more than one: cloning as the exclusive reproductive method, the programmed termination of the individual, the use of human flesh for food, atomic warfare, the control of living beings through a central computer system, and… the others, I don’t know, find them yourself, Kisses :-*
