A friend asked me which films capture the bitcoin ethos, and it got me thinking. Which films do you think display reasons why bitcoin exists, perhaps what we could accomplish with mass adoption of bitcoin, etc.
Obviously we have to stretch our imagination a bit for this, but I look forward to seeing what ideas members of the community. List as many as you like, and please include your reasoning!
Let me start off with the cypherpunk adjacent hollywood blockbuster, The Matrix. Waking up from the self-destructive chains of delusion seems so much like discovering the absurdity of money by FIAT. The system, by design, can print a seemingly infinite number of commands or dollars, but ultimately they cannot defeat the free-minded human being.
If you like, give me your own take on the Matrix! I came up with that a bit off the cuff.

hmm...
-Never seen Conspiracy Theory. Slightly intrigued now.
-Why John Wick?
-Why The Martian?

martian=ingenuity
ready player one= warning of dystopia meta verse

One thousand percent The Big Short.

The bitcoin ethos is captured pretty effectively by the main characters clearly seeing what most can’t, even though it’s right in front of their faces. Plus, a lot of the issues (particularly the end where they realize the banks did this knowingly because they’re too big to fail) are still problems today.
On one hand I want to say: Matrix and Fight Club
On the other hand: F*ck everyone who says Matrix and Fight Club, you're not a special snowflake between NPCs
All here should reasonably consider themselves snowflakes in a world of NPCs.
21 bridges & Dope
Why?
Strange as it may sound, Wizard of Oz. There was a post here explaining it:
...and so on. Kind of a long shot though.
V for Vendetta
Why?
Legends of the Fall

That doesn't quite seem to capture he intention of my post, but I appreciate your sharing them none-the-less.
Silk Road but not the best for orange pilling 🤔
Why that movie?
I would love to read more explanations of why people picked the films/movies they did as opposed to just a list, but I appreciate the contributions none the less.
