David Cronenberg's 'Crimes of the Future' questions how much humans really care about the world.
With body horror legend David Cronenberg returning to the genre after more than two decades, there are many reasons for us to be excited about Crimes of the Future. However, while Cronenberg’s latest film does deliver some of the most gruesome images in recent cinema, Crimes of the Future is much more than a brutal horror flick.
Crimes of the Future takes place in a moment in time when humans have evolved away from pain. As a result, only a few humans can experience pain in the film, and only during their sleep. Besides that, germs seem to have stopped affecting human biology, freeing people from the fear of getting sick. So, without pain or the fear of disease to regulate human behavior, people soon start experimenting with their bodies, performing invasive procedures to test their limits.
In Crimes of the Future, humans are no longer worried about their own destruction by germs, infections, or diseases, so they just stop caring about the world around them. As the movie underlines, people have even stopped washing their hands in this dystopic future. Humans are so self-centered that all the money, time, and effort goes to manipulating their bodies. No one cares anymore about conserving things, repairing buildings, or keeping spaces tidy and clean.
