minority rule
it looked like any other cinema complex, it was like any other cinema complex, but not like any I knew when I was young, old wooden seats, big bulky noisy curtains, stained screen, a sound system like an old AM radio, no this one was clean, modern, yet stale.
I walked in and sat down, the usual crowd of critics, nothing on the screen, everyone waiting for a victim, yes, nowadays we create our own movies, too many critics around now, and no one is willing to produce big movies anymore.
it works like this now, every seat has a player built into it, every seat has a remote controller, anyone can sit down and put in a disc, and anyone can control that disc, from any chair.
so anyway, I've come along to play a disc, unheard of, but the critics are there, what for you ask, if no one plays discs anymore, or makes movies, so why are the critics here - well for people like me.
credits role, very simple, cat meow's, critics laugh, I can feel their fingers on the eject button, opening scene starts, ah it's like a classic scene from an old movie, still playing, no one has hit the switch yet, but soon.
just before this scene closes, quick cut to something like a famous car chase scene, gasp from some of the critics, they still seem captivated, but those fingers are hovering over the switch, I can feel it...all those critics, ready to strike.
so guess what I do, I hit the switch ... yes the minority can rule!
but this complex has another purpose, it's where we go to vote, not for representatives, we come here to vote on many aspects of running the state, and we get rewarded for voting, the public servants and the government administrators make up the laws from applications, anyone can make an application, just follow the correct paperwork, yes it has to be on paper, not an easy task I must say, but anyone can propose a law or a policy.
so what do the representatives do? hell, I don't know, we don't have to vote, we can lose the right to vote, most people don't bother, but the rewards can be inviting.
yes but most times this complex is used for voting and it is only us old school types that take advantage of the complex facilities for showing movies, every now and again a "state-sponsored" movie is shown, in fact, one is scheduled tonight, hence so many critics, but the thing about the sponsored movies is that you can't control their playback they just start showing at the advertised time and play till the end.
tonight's movie will start soon, everyone is still looking at me, talking about my movie and how I stopped it before they could, but I had control, one person able to take control, what they don't realise is that I have figured out a way to hack the controller, and I can now control the "sponsored movie", the state movie that will show soon, I can stop it ... and even show my own pre-prepared movie, cut in at any point, and put my views out there and they won't be able to stop me, yes the minority can rule
