"Bread and Circus" Tactics Exposed
The film does an OK job of discussing the ties between modern television and the art of surveillance & control. Not only was The Running Man far ahead of it's time, it exposes the "Bread and Circus" style manipulation that has taken place by the powers that be for ages and continues to take place today. Some will miss the point of the documentaries included with The Running Man Special Edition DVD, but that is only because the truth is painful, and preconceived notions and misguided allegiances die hard.(Bread and Circus: Offerings, such as benefits or entertainments, intended to placate discontent or distract attention from a policy or situation.)
