Supercut: Post-Apocalyptic Movies Show Our World Gone Mad
When we see films set in a post-apocalyptic world, it's almost always humanity's fault that things went that bad. Whether humans got greedy and fought each other over things like oil or water, or whether we simply didn't listen when scientists said the world was going to hell (ahem), it seems like our hubris often gets the better of us in the movies. These films are fun entertainment, sure, but they can also be a bit of a subconscious warning for us to take real-world issues a bit more seriously or else they could turn sadly prophetic. Bora Barroso cut together some sequences from movies like I Am Legend, Children of Men, and Mad Max: Fury Road into a post-apocalyptic supercut (via Sploid), and it reminds me that it's good to know there will still be car chases and explosions to give the survivors some action after most of humanity is wiped out.
