Bitte kein Friedensnobelpreis und keine Deppenapostrophen
Wie sich SF Filme in den letzten 70 Jahren gewandelt haben
Over the past 70 years, science fiction has dramatically changed. The data shows us that what used to be an optimistic and inspiring genre has evolved to reflect our own fears and anxieties.
But these days, it’s much more likely that protagonists also have to overcome societal forces — political movements, systemic inequality, rampant capitalism. These are basically things that seem too big to fix.
It’s also far more likely that the narrative explores inner conflicts — moral dilemmas, identity crises, and wrestling with our understanding of what it means to be human. We don’t just face outside threats; we also face threats within ourselves.
Ultimately, today’s sci-fi stories are far more likely to be a commentary on current social issues. These might be critiques of political ideologies, runaway capitalism, irresponsible innovation, human apathy, or eroding mental health.
