Can Civility Reign In A Collapsing Society With Danny McCarthy And Nicky P
One of the big talking points we notice is the sexual environment of the movie. There are a number of interactions between Thorn and the female characters in the movie. Women are basically reduced to the playthings of the powerful men around them. This does not suggest that they aren't human but that there are serious changes in the gender roles of this far more scarce world.
There is an implication that material conditions have a marked effect on the roles of individuals in society. In a world based on absolute physical power as a byproduct of scarcity, the progress of our civilized society feels like a reaction to our material comfort. I make mention of a point Jack Spirko makes about nations where violence reigns as a result of food scarcity. This is alleviated by the complex systems we have in place and when those systems collapse can we maintain our "civilized" natures when the world is no longer guaranteeing our luxury.
One remarkable scene is the meal that Thorn and Saul, his elderly roommate, enjoy after looting the rich man's home. Thorn eats real food for the first time after a life of plankton. You have to appreciate the genuine interaction between these two over this meal. It is a small glimpse into the world we know within the context of Thorn's pitiful existence. Both Danny and I speculate on Thorn's reaction to the meal.
