Sheep
I saw V for Vendetta last night, and I think it's one of the best movies I've seen recently because it resonates deeply with the way I feel about the state of the world today.
I shall leave the synopsis and reviews to your own reading.
The movie comes as a timely reminder that things are not all right with the world, and governments already use fear as means of control, and the media conglomerates as the propaganda machine. It exists in all countries, more so in some than others.
The general population just allows itself to be controlled, letting government tell them what's best for them, spending tax money waging war and futile causes. Television is evil. This herd mentality and blinkered existence will lead to the ultimate loss of civil rights and democracy.
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people"
