The Island


In the year 2019, Lincoln Six Echo lives in an isolated compound which strictly regulates its inhabitants' lives. Overseers control every aspect of the residents' lives, from diet and free time activities to social relationships. The inhabitants hope to win a lottery to go to "the Island", the only place on Earth not contaminated by a deadly pathogen.

The films shows how a higher figure is controlling everyone from what they wear to what they eat. The quote seen earlier which goes along the line of a lie told long enough becomes the truth is relevant here where everyone believes in a island which is seen as a utopia but it actually doesn't exist. The truth becomes apparent and the facilty where they live in then becomes more of a prison like place (dystopia) .
