"Look the first thing you do when you start a band is talk about your influences..." - Pt. 1

When talking about our ideas, we thought of films that we were influenced by, and that we could lift (read: steal) ideas and themes from. Here are some future/dystopian/totalitarian rule films that we were influenced by:

FILMS
Children of Men
La Haine
1984
A Clockwork Orange
V For Vendetta
Minority Report
Equilibrium
A Scanner Darkly
Blade Runner

BOOKS
Hand Maid's Tale
Noughts & Crosses series
Bloodtide
Snow Crash
Anything by Philip K. Dick

GAMES
Bioshock

After browsing the internets, we also found a list of the Top 50 Dystopian Movies of All Time. Most of the movies we have listed as influences are on this list, and there are also some on there that we never thought of, but do fit the theme of our piece perfectly.
