Meet John Doe (1941) by Frank Capra summarized the life of the modern man in the west in more than one way. The story of a poor man hired to play a motivational speaker who can attract public attention across America only to find out that he is being used without his knowledge or will was made into a realistic drama that remains ever more relevant today.
Early in the movie, The Colonel (Walter Brennan) says it all about the illusion of freedom in the developed society where the “heelots” hogtie the average citizen in the “comforts” of modern living. Eighty years later, The Colonel’s words ring true more than ever.
