Quoted:
The utopian society gets eaten by cannibals. Only the man with the gun can save them. How is it socialist? listening to the words sprouting from the lead actors mouth..... and in the movie and IIRC the book he does not have a gun... listening to the end here,,and it doesnt get much better after the "rescue" |

Quoted:
Get Mark Steyn's book, After America. He uses The Time Machine to illustrate visiting and comparing different periods of our history, and especially uses the Eloi and Morlocks to describe certain portions of our society. Very insightful writing. well, I'm honored to be thinking along the lines of Mr Steyn Chef

Quoted:
I was always pretty sure the Morlocks had more fun. and their looks held up so well Wells was one of the orginal Fabian Socialists along with GB SHAW and Sanger. his message was NEVER man can do for himself, it was almost always what the Collective could do for man. the orginal works are quoted often in this version of the movie as best I remember,, |

Quoted: Quoted: I was always pretty sure the Morlocks had more fun. If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the Morlocks. The Eloi were just sheep for the slaughter. You do realize the Morlocks had to breed, don't you? That means Morlock women ................................................... |
