Thomas Moore’s ‘Utopia’ was first published in 1516, and what this movie shows us is the actual portrayal of what ‘Utopia’ is. As the film begins, it gives you a sense of chill, of course, but another major emotion that it raises within the audience is suffocation, a sense of entrapment that forms the very foundation of the movie. All that one can see from the outside is perfection and pretense, but little does one know how utterly flawed the inside is. Honestly, the amount of metaphors that the movie has used is just insane. I cannot restrain myself from pointing out three things, though there are more, but I can’t just give spoilers here, so I’ll stick to just three things that amazed me. Firstly, “All through the life a man keeps on digging his own grave,” ” Mother is home, “and ” You reap what you sow”…. Just one more, nobody cared to name him. With that being said, I guess I have said more than enough.
