'People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.'
That quote stayed with me long after seeing this movie. Although the original story was against a future totalarian Thatcher british government, it can easily be applied to any right-wing government that starts to restrict freedom, put up curfews, limit free speech, and even go extreme measures such as creating your own terror 'accident' and blaming it on scapegoats just so you can be that much closer to complete government control.
It is also clear in the movie that they are linking the current Bush administration, and even goes as far as suggesting the nation's biggest terrorist attack was actually an inside job. Though 9/11 is not in the storyline, you get the idea what the writers were trying to suggest. The movie also blurs the line that defines a 'terrorist' and a 'freedom fighter'. No matter what your thoughts are on the current 'war on terror', this movie will show you what true freedom means, and why people have a right to fight back to take control of the ever-increasing military right-wing governments of the world.
