     Not to be picky or anything, but didn't you read George Orwell's
"1984", on which this movie is based????? Considering that the book was
written in the 1940's(?), Orwell thought 1984 to be far enough in the
future, thus the "obviously set in the future". You did read this in some
English class didn't you?????
