That book is very relevant to Post-Modern societal trends.

The movie will be watered down and it will be Trumps fault...you watch.

[A_perfect_lady]

In other words, Hollywood.

I don’t know if those Hollywood liberals UNDERSTAND it enough to know that it is not an instruction manual.

[real saxophonist]

The book, definitely. But Demi Moore? What kind of scraper does one use to get to the bottom of THAT barrel?

[bagster]

Peace has been achieved in the seemingly utopian New London thanks to prohibiting monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself.

Prohibiting privacy achieves peace? I'd have figured it would be the opposite.

Oh, well. Aldous Huxley and Demi Moore know best.

Go, go Globalism.

Does she date 18 year old boys in the movie?
After Kucher, she seems to be moving in that direction.

The BBC version is free on YouTube. It is very good.

People talk about “1984”, but “Brave New World” is closer to the path we are headed down.

[Mr. K]

If all they got out of that book was the sex-crazed part then they probably don’t understand it

.....thanks to prohibiting monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself.

So apparently COVID-19 has been defeated in this society....social distancing not required.

Aldous Huxley admitted it wasn’t a work of fiction, it was a blueprint.

No thanks.

At the rate we’re going, the public schools in a couple of decades will have mandatory sex ed classes that will require hands-on instruction in technique covering all permutations of all 57 genders. It will be like drivers ed. Students won’t graduate without having demonstrated proficiency with multiple partners.

The primary character was a man who was supposed to be born an Alpha but something went wrong and he was born an Epsilon if my memory serves me. We read this book in my Junior year in HS.

[Pearls Before Swine]

The book is wonderful. Reads like it was written now, doesn’t show its age. It was written in 1932. A visionary (if dystopian) work.

There have been attempts to translated it into film, but the ones I’ve seen fell flat.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Hope they don’t destroy the book and leave the wilderness or whatever they call the area outside of the new society as the book had it.

Have a hard time believing Demi Moore will allow herself to look like a savage.

[tbw2]

There are too many liberals who look at “Brave New World” as a how-to manual, not a warning.

[KC_Conspirator]

It is. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was one of my favorite college readings in Western Civ, a class which has by now probably been banned and replaced by lesbian fisting or social justice as an elective.

I remember the book portraying everyone being soulless vessels, sedated on government drugs and having sex with randos.
