Did you like it? I guess the future will be only populated by white people — the only ones worth saving according to the logic of the vision… As twisted in that regard as the well-meaning but hopelessly lost ideology of Five (1951) — http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043539/

Yes indeed, it’s a very white and all-American future in store for us I guess! What’s really intriguing to me is that in the final sequence, when they land on the new world, there is clearly evidence of some kind of civilization. What happens next? Will the settlers exterminate the natives all over again? I’ve always wondered.

Five is a wreck. The black guy DIES saving the white Adam and Eve couple — which means, that the white racist’s argument about a “pure” future are made fact. LAME. alas. Had promise…
