Characters symbolise.
They are merely a function; they get across the themes in the film
The characters are there to play it out, they are a function of the story they have no choice but to be bad etc
Dystopia set in the future; a bleak near future. A worse case scenario. Opposite to utopia. A dystopian film conveys a warning.
Totalitrianism government is ruled by one man, who is in charge with everything in your life. Extremism. This is seen as a bad thing, however in some perspectives it could be good.
Revolution the replacement of the government. Violence and peaceful protests/taking to the streets can overthrow the government
Conspiracy theories a belief by an individual / group that may be responsible for a particular event. Circulated on the internet explaining that the governments message is untrue. For example, 9/11. Links to the theme of V for Vendetta; you cannot trust your government.
Democracy lets other people have a chance to say what they think. A system of government by the whole population, through representatives. We vote for who we want in power. Can be used to make you think you have control however this is not usually the case.
Fascism a dictator / party. Nationalism is a fascist theme; the idea that the countries people stick together, the rest if the population are not superior. Fascism leads to totalitarianism
