This movie is the ultimate anti-John Lennon's Imagine


"You think he wanted your happiness. He was happy...I don't want everyone's happiness...I want to love. I want fire, I want ice. I refuse the sweet tepidness you would plunge us into. You won't understand, Happiness is a burning flash that obliterates us."

John Lennon lyrics:

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

John Lennon imagined and people still imagine the same dystopia that Forbek created in this movie.
