Never considered the sarcasm and social critique in that movie to be all that subtle. "Would you like to know more?" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faFuaYA-daw). Loved the movie for it.

Could never get over how different the book felt though. No hint of what I liked so much in the movie. Basically the complete inverse message of the movie.

Don't think I've ever seen this kind of "same story, inverse message" between a book and a movie before.

The video feels like comedy to me, but that wasn't what I felt back in the days when the movie came out and I was young. It gave me more of a dystopian feeling.
