It came to me suddenly just now, and brought a smile to my face. Watching the video, More, with the grey misshapen men shuffling about their assembly-line and robotic tasks on the factory floor, and the colourless grey tall generic city buildings, I have memories of an old movie from a long time ago flashing across my mind, scenes with mysterious grey men going about their mysterious soul-robbing work and ways in a drab grey city…but I just couldn’t remember what movie it was. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.
