A horrifically under-rated piece of cinema by George Lucas. It never really got it's recognition as a dystopian masterpiece. Sure, he ripped off Orwell wholesale; but what a great artistic effort compared to that infantile Star Wars drivel.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
