M. Night Shyamalan might not agree but "The Village" (2004) was, to me obviously, a political satire of Communism, a profoundly flawed and hopelessly naive social theory. The fact that a self-appointed "best ever" human society had to be built on lies and determent of "Those We Don't Speak Of", which properly refered to the overwhelming propaganda and ferocious censorship every Communist regime had to rely upon, was ironically sad. Even if the decision of living an eighteenth centry Communist-like life was made by a group of benevolent and presumably wise people like your parents or grandparents, the movie posed the thought-provoking question without asking: Do I or do I not have the right to choose my own way of living?
To me, it is out of question.
