Whether it is on IMDB or a pop culture forum, one can find running lists of the most prophetic movies of all time. Standouts include the 1927 futuristic German film Metropolis, which addresses the divide between the privileged and underprivileged. The Truman Show’s psychological look at reality and freewill will often find itself on such lists. The most repeated film may be Network, with its critique of society and media. A parallel list of the most prophetic literary works would certainly contain Kierkegaard’s The Present Age. In this short work, Kierkegaard addressed issues of reflection, inaction, herd mentality, and mass media.
