Sachys: Anybody got any good ideas of dystopic movies / animations / games etc (not books) that cover mind control / manipulation / brainwashing / propaganda / interrogation/ torture by the stablishment.
Really looking for off thebeat stuff - rather than the usual suspects (ie 1984, V, Equilibrium, Cypher etc).
even stuff fringing on it would be good!
reason is, I'm doing a visual library reasearch for Pantheons next EP cover - want to see whats been done (and hopefully avoid common "bad" cliches).
Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil' and of course one of my all time favorites John Carpenter's 'They Live.' Really looking for off thebeat stuff - rather than the usual suspects (ie 1984, V, Equilibrium, Cypher etc).

There's also an overlooked movie called 'Land of the Blind' from 2006 starring Donald Sutherland and Ralph Fiennes about the overthrow of a dictator in a dystopic setting.
Also 'A Face in the Crowd' with Andy Griffith. Definitely underrated Kazan film about the rise of a poor southerner who becomes a popular Glen Beck/Benny Hinn type.
The Vitajex commercial... so much genius from way back in '57.
