RE: Learning Economics And Watching Movies: Human Action, Taxes, Andrew Niccol's Gattaca (1997) and Anon(2018)
You've got some real eye for hidden gems. Excellent recommendations worthy of many resteems. Out of the Andrew Niccol movies I've seen, In Time was the only one I thought of as mediocre. The rest were amazing. I really do think that the disconnect he create is a feature and I've felt that reading many of the books by Arthur C. Clarke too. I enjoy it. It's not cinematic or hypnotic but deeply interesting. I haven't finished Altered Carbon yet. But it seems to be the type too.
BTW go make a Sucker Punch post already. it was heavily underrated and utterly misunderstood. I'd personally call it a total masterpiece.
PS: READ Frédéric Bastiat's The Law (1850)
Thanks for bringing up rédéric Bastiat's The Law (1850). I guess I'll get to Sucker Punch (2011) pretty soon.
S1m0ne (2002) was probably the most disconnected. It was like reading an academic paper about certain events and I do think it worked well. After all it was a movie to think about. It was about artificiality and facades and sort of a mix of black satire and GitS.
