The Lack of Exposition Makes 'Fast Color' a Compelling Narrative on Repressed Personalities
That feeling in your gut which tells you that there’s something out there you should look for and make your own, is what the power represents
Breakfast with the Colonel (2001)
The story is set in the near future. In a post-USA province called Pacifica, Colonel Casper Mach rules with an iron fist. In a fairly lame attempt at repackaging himself as a beloved media icon, he also appears each morning as host of a TV show, "Breakfast With The Colonel." Jack Sorenson, a citizen of Pacifica Province, has never considered himself a revolutionary. But after a missed rent payment and similar grievous offenses, he's declared "lifestyle dysfunctional" and the state sets about fulfilling his unrealized potential. Jack resists. Before long he's a fugitive, pursued by the Colonel's brutal militia. Ultimately Jack encounters the Colonel himself.
