I would love to see this movie, but I doubt much in it will surprise me. Governments, including tribal governments ruling small bands of primitive people, have always relied on fear to corral the energies of the masses for one purpose alone: to create a ruling class that doesn't have to work. Fear is the driving force behind all life. Fear of not having enough food, of being cold, of being eaten. Just because we have consciousness doesn't mean we're any freer of fear than a nervous bird at a feeder or a wary coyote or a darting fish. Life loves life and fears anything that threatens it; that's evolution at work.
