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.
