In anti-authoritarian movies, they don’t go beyond what happens after the revolution or “the day after” as Slavoj Zizek always say. Unfortunately in real life, post-revolutions do not always lead to a happy ending. Just ask most of post-colonial states. Only a handful succeed and become prosperous and secure.
This is a notable fact! Again, inaccurate movies will push viewers into making bad choices.
One of my favourite games ever, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante, talks about this a lot. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure and no matter what end goals you focus on you will have to make many choices that sacrifice your own character’s happiness, or that of their family, in some way, just to make sure that you don’t get a “bad ending” where your faction loses during the revolt at the end of the game.
I’m thinking about it a lot because it’s sequel comes out soon.
Two TV shows which manage to accurately convey revolutionary failure are Andor and Deutschland 83
