For those of you who may not have seen it, it is at times hilarious and worth a watch, though in hindsight comparing it to the current state of things, it is a bit disturbing.

An excerpt from the Wikipedia synopsis sounds all too familiar:

"The film tells the story of....

Well put!

Waiting for the closing credits on this living version, dammit!
