Speculative Fiction

Short film

The film is title is CHILDREN and it is about a boy who looks very similar to his peers and classmates. While everyone looking the same they do everything the same including getting the same grades and even looking the same, and to the point the buildings looks the same as each other and the film is dystopia type, the premise of the story is that the film is oppressive, and the society has no self-individuality. The film I picked fits the speculative fiction because it fits the dystopia fiction, and it is said by MasterClass “a dystopia is an imagined community or society that is dehumanizing and frightening. A dystopia is an antonym of a utopia, which is a perfect society” “MasterClass. “What Is Dystopian Fiction? 20 Examples of Dystopian Fiction” https://www.masterclass.com/. 9 Feb.2023). Therefore there is restricted freedom, the students are not supposed to talk and to the point that their mouth is zipped, poverty, everyone in the film lives near a dozens of factories and the nature seems to be destroyed by all the carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere, lack of individuality, the students all look the same and do the same things every day and even the teacher looks the same. Oppressiveness, the students are not supposed to unzip their mouth and just deal with what they are going through but once the student opened his mouth, he let out a disturbing laugh of joy.
