Poetic Film Review: THX 1138 (1971)

In Lucas' dystopian world of THX 1138,
Where individuality is lost and emotions fade away,
A bleak underground society controls every move,
As the protagonist seeks freedom, breaking the groove.

Critiquing the consumerist culture of the 60s,
Lucas' vision was radical, breaking norms with ease.
His unattractive protagonists and mechanical foes,
Highlighting the inhumanity that society bestows.

With a digitally enhanced Director's Cut in hand,
Lucas revisited his rebellious stand.
From radical auteur to mainstream entertainer,
THX 1138 remains a reminder of his earlier endeavors.

Though CGI may alter the original's charm,
The film's relevance and impact remain warm.
As society echoes the themes of control and rage,
THX 1138 stands tall in this digital age.
