Idiocracy

Theme: Government & Technology

Idiocracy is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the human civilizations increasingly dependent use of technology, and the stupidity that is our government. Your "Average Joe" is put into a time capsule and frozen and he's supposed to be waken up one year later. Because of funding and the governments negligence he was awaken five hundred years later and was awoken to a whole new world. People's reliance on technology had them not use their brains, and eventually people became stupid to the point that this average man was dubbed the smartest man in the world. He was able to escape from prison and outsmart nearly everyone and then he was hired by the president. The government wasn't able to protect their country and everything was rapidly dying because instead of watering plants with water, they kept using this sponsored soda. The people were lazy, stupid and over weight and generally didn't understand or care about what was going on around them. The justice system was corrupt and people did what they pleased. This movie shows us what can happen if we rely too much on technology; our brains will get weaker and weaker until intelligence is evolutionarily breed out. And our government will sit back and just let this happen and not even try to intervene or preserve the human brain, so it is essentially up to us to save ourselves.
