A Clockwork Orange - The way they say what they're doing to him is making him "healthy" and the way everyone's always smiling, seemingly blissfully unaware as to what is really happening.

The Brave Little Toaster - Just watch it, it's amazing.

Although with regard to the former, it is the book which facilitates the metaphor.

you kidding? vhs provides hours of societal truth when you rewind and rewatch chance catapulting the mountain lion with a log, over and over and over again. the mountain lion is obviously "the man", and chance is simply "fucking with him".

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It's A Wonderful Life.

Wouldn't that be nice, if that actually reflected reality?

A LOT of films are metaphors for society. Isn't that what most directors do?
