Dark City came out at the same time as The Matrix, and shared certain themes with it. I would say that The Matrix is a re-imagining of the old Gnostic heresy, and Dark City is a re-imagining of Plato's allegory of The Cave.

It's a sci-fi film noir where nothing is what it appears to be, memory is unreliable, and no one knows what they think they know.

Thanks, now I’ve got to see it.

I posted a pic of “ Morons from outer space” while it’s a goofy movie that has some funny parts, it is the genius of the concept that I loved.

The idea that Extraterrestrials have a superior intelligence is something most have accepted as fact.

I suppose when a remote homesteader saw an automobile for the first time they must have considered those occupants of some superior intelligence. And it’s likely they were, since you had to be a mechanic at that time.

But now, any moron can get in his car and drive across the country.

Another movie that was smushed by the Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor. Seem everyone was doing altered-perceived-reality then.
