Last week's real-life clifhanger involving an Atlanta lawyer carrying a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis shows that art is way ahead of reality.
This is not a psychotic episode. This is a cleansing moment of clarity.

There's no need whatsoever to remake/'update' this film (esp. to compensate for HW studios' pathetic dearth of ideas, greed, and arrogance toward its consumers/ audience/s and Independent filmmakers!). Its subject is absolutely contemporary as it is, what with the looming alleged flu 'pandemic', aside from being an exceptionally well done film. Superbly directed on location by a great, always socially conscious and prescient director, who was, as usual, decades ahead of his time!
I agree, absolutely. I love these films from the past that were so prophetic. On The Beach was another one. A must see!
shareThere was nothing prophetic about this film. In fact, it was right out of mediaeval Europe. Now, if it had been about the hunt for terrorists or criminal blackmailers with a pandemic-threatening culture, then you may have had a point.
share...and if the setting for the movie was around the Brooklyn ship yard rather then the deep south. Direction ??
shareNothing prophetic about the film given it deals with an issue of a contagious disease. Contagious diseases have been around for thousands of years!
Its that man again!!
