The dead son o the street of the fugee camp, th "terrorist" march around an ostensible martyr, the camps, the beating you see through the bus windows -just amazing stuff. The <a href="http://www.theoildrum.com/node/2516" rel="nofollow">oil bomb</a> you dropped yesterday has me bit freaked out, quite frankly- and watching this movie was oddly reassuring. Not sure how I can explain this adequately -I'll have to think on it. Agreed, the film is actually happening in the background.

Rickshaws on London streets. Immigration camps in the outskirts. It's the seemingly infinite layers of details that really tell the story. What's got me really freaked out is that if the fertility problem is replaced with the disappearance of cheap oil, this may be a pretty accurate picture of how society could degenerate. Scary stuff.
