The Village (2004): Isolationism
Say what you will about the ending, but the rest of The Village was made of some decent stuff. It’s about a young woman who lives in a remote village ruled by a council that continually warns them of the dangers of the outside world—dangers they’ve manufactured to keep their people under control. It’s a cautionary tale against isolationism and the importance of knowledge over ignorance. But also, that ending was ridiculous.
