It’s not even radical, but there should not be any vehicles allowed near schools, particularly elementary schools, without special permission based on need. It should be a safe area for people to walk and play. I can’t tell you how many people barrel through the parking lot of my kid’s elementary school just to avoid being tardy (another concept which should be reformulated). I work at a university, and a 19 yo with a 2 ton truck struck a pedeststrian yesterday afternoon, sending them on an airlift to a not close by hospital.
It’s not feature length, but 12 Monkeys is based on a short film by Chris Marker called Le Jetée which I highly recommend, along with all of Marker’s work, really. Marker deals a lot in documentary with a surrealist touch, and thoughtful narration. He’s a good old leftist too.
All the movies you mentioned are not just psychological, but are messed up temporally, so you might appreciate a newer movie called Time Addicts. Watched a bit of it and it was funny, dark, and wild, as a time traveling movie about meth should be.
The Manchurian Candidate is great (both versions are really, though I prefer the one from ‘62) as it deals with a character piecing together an experimentation plot involving hypnotism and proto mk ultra mind control. If I think of more when I’m rested i’ll jump back and comment again.
