As sometimes happens in the history of cinematography, one event actually serves to speak metaphorically of another. A resource that can be discovered in the movie Captive State, which through a fascinating story allows to talk about the feeling of confinement and internal control in the present days.
For director and screenwriter Rupert Wyatt: "The science fiction stories that succeed are those that, in some way, reflect our own society." And he remembers an expert in the field: "For me, Philip K. Dick was one of the best sci-fi writers of all time because in his stories he always managed to portray an aspect that we, as a society, can relate to," and that is exactly what Wyatt sought to emulate in his latest project.
Captive State. When the only way is freedom
The film starring Ashton Sanders, John Goodman and Vera Farmiga, is set in a world dominated by aliens where humans are torn between support and insurrection.
But the plot starts nine years after the invasion, in this sense: "the story we are telling is more about an alien occupation, than an invasion," says Wyatt.
