This chart really makes no sense at all. How does Lord of the Flies lie at the intersection of The Handmaid’s Tale, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451?
One’s about an ultra-conservative theocracy, one’s about government surveillance and propaganda, and one’s about destroying books because people’s attention spans have reduced past the ability to read and they’re too long/confusing/depressing. I guess authoritarianism might lie at the heart of all these? Meanwhile, though, Lord of the Flies is more about the dangers of unchecked groupthink and how it can lead to violence and cruelty.
Does anyone else think the design is vaguely sexual or am I just so thirsty that all it takes to get me going is four intersecting circles?
I have bad news
Brazil?
For me it’s right, no matter if they mean the movie or the country.
Brazil & 1984 are thematically closer than probably any other pair on the chart, yet they’re shown to not intersect. I question the methodology.
This is the worst Venn diagram I’ve ever read and even if it wasn’t the point would still suck.
This is kind of by design since these books are all criticisms of the status quo.
Venn diagrams representing more than 3 sets don’t work if you keep using 2d circles to represent all the sets. For example, in this diagram there’s no intersection of ºF451 with and only with BNW, or 1984 with and only with AHT.
Here is idiocracy
The documentary starring Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph?
Yes

What the hell are you talking about, Margo?

Who are you talking to??
I’m literally in Brazil, I live in Minas Gerais State! lol
As someone who has read none of these books, let me give my expert opinion on why you’re wrong: /s
Some of aren’t books
Of course, since the writers lived “here”, were all human and shaped by many of the same events. The question is what does that middle circle contain? I could be banal like “has human characters”…
The middle circle contains small parts of motives from these novels: Handmaids tale: descending women rights etc
“Handmaid’s tail etc”?
How do you give one example of 25% of the chart and say “because of this one weird thing, basically everything equals the middle circle”
Yeah but if there is supposed to be overlap between all movies/books it’s going to be generic like “Shit’s fucked up”
More like “humans controlling humans gone wrong #12 hit that like and smash that substitute button”.
