H.G.

“The Airmen” use non-deadly means such as sleeping gas to bring the war lords to surrender. John Cabal, played by Raymond Massey, leads the Airmen in rebuilding society on principles of non-violence and mutual support.

Things to Come (1936) struggles with the issue of enlightened despotism. While the film seems to advocate John Cabal’s remaking of society, it cannot escape the reality that enlightened despotism is despotism just the same. Whether the despot believes his actions are benefiting him or benefiting society, the despot does not trust citizens with their freedom.

As you will see in the film even a society that has extended life and improved societal condition will experience rebellion when citizens do not have freedom to make their own decisions. “The Airmen” are no less despotic than the regimes that they replaced.
