In My Own Country, Many Of The Movies In Recent Years Express Our Innate Fears About What Awaits Us. They Are Apocalyptic Visions That Leave Only A Few People On Earth-whole Cities Surviving Under Domes Because We Have Depleted Our Natural Resources. And Often In These Movies, For Reasons That I Question, We Have Space Aliens Who Are Always Blowing Up Washington, D.c., And The White House.
