I was pretty surprised throughout about how perfectly cast the film is.<BR/><BR/>As to what the film is about is a tough one. It seems to be about so much that is current - energy crises, celebrity culture, war, terrorism, class and drugs, etc... I guess I read most cyberpunk as an apocalyptic literature, narratives of the near future that actually serve to uncover what is going on in the present. I like how the film is set in L.A., which focuses everything the film is "about" on the nightmare that media and celebrity culture has become. Slap that together with war and terrorism and you got yourself a lot to chew on.M.
