"Jubilee is an interesting film, but I am still trying to find an interesting idea in the film. Jubilee definitely entertains; the music is sweet, the costumes are bold and vivacious, and the dialogue is intriguing. But this nihilistic view of the future is so old fashioned, meaning it is so the present fashion. The post-modern world is obsessed with this idea. Gloom and doom mixed with sadomasochism is the philosophy of the present. Now, to be avant-garde means to be ahead of ones time. Back when H.G. Well’s wrote The Time Machine in 1895 it was avant-garde, even prophetic, to warn of humanity headed towards destruction. We also had books like George Orwell’s 1984 (1949) to warn of the future. 1984 comments on how history has no meaning long before Jubilee.
