Logan's Run isn't about some Irish fella doing a beer run though who wouldn't want to watch that huh? It was a 1976 movie that spawned a crappy bland TV series and possible a movie reboot soon.
Hey lets make it all female so we could watch boobs bounce when Ms Logan runs.
A racially white world of young pretty people
I don't recall seeing any ethnic people in it so it's a futuristic white master race world run by a super computer. You are artificially conceived and born with a jewel in yer hand that turns red and blinks as you approach your 30th birthday. Then you have to wear a silly outfit and mask and enter the carousel.
Either the actors have had a hard life or they lied about their ages.
2274 kinda sucks
In the carousel there isn't any joyful show tunes, you float up and explode while everyone cheers. From birth you are told that this is the way and those that fly up in the carousel are getting renewed and come back to life again.
Not everyone is convinced and often do a runner. Sandmen are the ones that hunt down and kill runners, that means they don't get to come back to life if a Sandman gets them. The institutionalized Sandmen just don't understand why anyone would run and not want to get renewed.
Logan 5 and Francis 7 are the main Sandmen buddies who party and shag chicks and kill anyone that runs. They aren't too deep, like armed frat boys with police powers. Vaguely Nazi.
Logan was on the futuristic version of Tinder/Grindr looking for a shag and meets Jessica 6 who says she was online by accident and says she doesn't want to have sex. He isn't used to hearing "no" because in the future everyone are sluts .... YAY!
The super computer gets him to go undercover as a Runner to find Sanctuary where it says a thousand odd Runners are hiding. It speeds up his jewel making it flash. He asks if he will get his time back but is met with silence. He really starts to doubt now because it's his life.
The ankh which is a symbol from ancient Egypt is used to identify those that want to run. Like a secret handshake. On the way out of the city there is like an ice cave for some reason.
Their clothes got wet and while this line never works today it will work in the future. He only takes off his shirt while she strips down to a g-string.
Jessica knows the Runner resistance and even though she has plenty of time left she decides to run and get naked with a dodgy Nazi bloke who has killed her friends and that she hardly knows.
Jenny Agutter's nudity wasn't necessary to the plot but was much appreciated. All the young 30 year olds have small tits in the future and no beer bellies. A mix of English and American accents like Star Wars.
Francis 7 goes after his old buddy feeling betrayed cos logan changed after getting a girlfriend
There is no Sanctuary. They make it outside of the city to find a world which suffered some catastrophe and is crumbling and returning to nature. They know nothing of the world and miss their easy city life.
It's a story about religion. About being brainwashed from birth by society about some fairy tale of everlasting life. Possibly also about the horrors you are willing to perpetrate in the name of your beliefs upon free thinkers or those that question the status quo.
Or what you are willing to accept and ignore because everyone else is doing it so it must be ok.
Logan and Jessica go to Washington DC and meet a crazy old cat dude in a library. He tells them about parents, marriage and burying dead people ... mind blown.
They want to return to the city with him and when he hears about the tons of young people there he really perks up and gets excited about going .... he must imagine children but there aren't any children I think they are babies and then get speeded up or maybe hidden until they are adults.
They are as dumb and as horny as teenagers so I think the speeded up age thing is the method. Perhaps the book covers that detail but who wants to read about a hot chick getting her tits out? ... the correct answer is no one.
Hi-tech graphics
Logan kills his best friend ... probably because his gurlfriend told him too, pussy whipped! He returns to the city, gets captured and interrogated by the super computer.
The computer can't take being told something that it doesn't believe to be true .... the religion thing again. Instead of crashing like everything else the whole city blows up instead.
Not a very good system, you'd think that surge protectors would still be a thing. Then again cell phones aren't about then either and people don't speak in lol cat so really a 1970's future.
The crazy old cat man finds out that young hot chicks want to touch his wrinkly skin .... Fuck Old Knudsen loves the future!
So Logan destroyed a belief system and now all the useless party people have to fend for themselves and eat cats or something. The only real winner is the old dude that is getting touched up.
'If you like touching wrinkly skin I've got some down below'
It's a good film but with naff special effects. Like Francis 7 the brainwashed people of today won't get the whole religion has compromised your critical thinking by exploiting the fear of death thing and pitting them and us against each other.
Maybe it was all just about those thighs
The message is still current today. Is it ok to let others suffer because it doesn't personally effect you? Maybe you aren't ready to care. Like those who have had someone close to them die of cancer and after that they are moved enough to raise money and spread awareness.
Refugees in crowded boats, we don't have to see a dead toddler on a beach to be moved. There is too much to care about in the world and the concern that you'll be overwhelmed by it or worse still turned into a complete pussy that needs a safe space. Empathy is not a weakness, denial will do you more harm and will harm those around you.
A survival technique the brain uses is to not let things click enough to think about it and to also make us forget. You can see a load of dead Syrian children after a gas attack but still eat your dinner and sleep at night. You can eat meat and not think about the abattoir video some vegetable loving cunt posted on social media.
It's ok not to cry at every atrocity or feel offense inappropriate jokes. It's not ok to be a part of these atrocities or to tacitly support them.
A politician runs on an anti-ghey, anti-immigrant, destroy the environment, cut welfare and education platform and you vote for them. That is you giving them your support for them to be a cunt which makes you a cunt.
Those hate crimes are on your shoulders because your vote, lack of vote or words validated the sentiment.
delusional to the end
Francis 7 acted out of emotion and fear rather than reason. Why should others have to suffer because you've bought into the lies even though it doesn't really effect your life but you are told it does?
Don't be a Francis 7.
