I would describe "Idiocracy" as one of the
most frightening horror movies ever made.
Sometimes you can tell the truth more realistically
and honestly by using humor especially satire.
Once you tap that spirit of making comedy out of tragedy,
the truth comes out and cuts closer to the bone than
even the writers might expect.
That's my experience anyway with writing satire.
Unconsciously the worst reality about humanity
comes out, and yes it makes the writers look like
geniuses whether they were fully conscious of
the process or the process was using them.
When I write, I feel as if the message is telling itself
and I'm just the conduit but not the actual creator
in charge of the script. It comes through me, but
is not of my making. I am like the musician or the
transcriber playing out a symphony already designed.
Truly inspired art is like that. It takes a combination
of conscious decisions, both art and science,
and letting go and letting the creative process speak for itself.
