yes, VERY MUCH rings of THX-1138 entire premise: sedatted, non emotional people, fidn love, and escape. Unfortunately, most peeps have never seen that. And it seemed too dull for todays audeinces... -- since THAT is how the people in that movie are supposed to react to life: very dull like. So, most don't get all that.
