This is a speculative dystopian short film called “our censored future”. It describes a future world where cell phones are mandatory and the government watches and listens to everything you say or do. Technology rules everything and no one can live without it. We are introduced to a man who accidentally drops his phone in the toilet and, while waiting for a replacement that will be automatically sent to him, he wakes up the harsh reality that everything in his life is manufactured and controlled. The environment in this film is extremely degraded and is filled with buildings, with not a tree in site. Speculative fiction is a story based on a possibility of what the world could become in the future. Are we already on our way to using our phones to the degree described in this film? It is dystopian because everything, including curfew, what you can buy for groceries, where you can go for dinner, or what topics you discuss are controlled by the government. This film is made to excellent standards and is a great example of a fictional future dystopian world. One of the biggest names in speculative fiction and creator of The Handmaids Tale, Margaret Atwood, said this about aspirating speculative fiction writers “If you’re interested in writing speculative fiction, one way to generate a plot is to take an idea from current society and move it a little further down the road” (What is Dystopian 2021).  Thank you so much for reading and enjoy the rest of you day!
