Two class clowns in stories about conformity and the bonds of a shared experience — it’s Full Metal Jacket vs Cadet Kelly.
I Will Survive: 2001: A Space Odyssey vs Species
Two movies about the thirst for knowledge and a will to survive — it's 2001: A Space Odyssey vs Species.
The Devil You Know: The Shining vs Colossal
Peer Pressure: A Clockwork Orange vs The Stepford Wives
This week’s comparison features two movies that reflect on the state of society and free will - it’s A Clockwork Orange vs The Stepford Wives (2004). Stanley Kubrick’s 80 hour so-called masterpiece is a dark future world of ultraviolence, while The Stepford Wives is a hilarious satire that follows Nicole Kidman’s entry into an idyllic town straight out of Leave It To Beaver. These movies are shockingly similar in how they deal with conformity, control, and what it means to be a human.
