Code 46 is a 2003 British film directed by Michael Winterbottom, with screenplay by Frank Cottrell Boyce. It was produced by BBC Films and Revolution Films. It is a disquieting science fiction love story with themes that explore the moral impacts of advances in biotechnology.
A good, if not slightly disturbing movie about the near future, the control of governments, and the ability of the powers-to-be to control thoughts as well as disease -- as long as you play the game and remain in safe zones. Kinda of Owellian with a dash of William Gibson and a taste of "Brazil". Oh... and a hint of "Babylon A.D."...without Vin Diesel!
The mix of Spanish, English, Mandarin and Arabic in regular speech w/o subtitles was reminiscent of "Bladerunner". The idea that our everyday speech will become more of a polyglot mix in the future is very intriguing as well. Which words will become prevalent? Which will die out?
This is definitely a film to rent with some friends and then have a great discussion afterward.
