I have watched Hot Fuzz on DVD this week: it was really funny. Really. It is an entertaining comedy, a spoof of the classical cop action movies. And it is worth seeing.

My broken mind has noticed some libertarian stances in it, too. And two guys from The Distributed Republic (warning: spoilers ahead) think like me:

Quote

I think that there’s a case to be made for Hot Fuzz as Animal Farm for the 21st century.

[...]

It’s an Orwellian warning against collectivism… only coupled with a rather charming faith in the power of heroic American individualism. Except with a British accent.

[...]

It's a movie about deontology versus utilitarianism, about the individual versus the collective, it deserves to join the list of the "libertarian minded" movies.

[...]

All in all, this movie is definitely not a movie about libertarianism, but it certainly has a libertarian flavor. Watching a sect obsessed with "the common good" being defeated by an individualistic deontologist is a pleasure I warmly recommend.

Hot Fuzz is a very good movie, funny and really creative.

I recommend an unfairly unknown movie, directed by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt Head), Idiocracy. Awesome movie, really funny. Trailer can be found on Youtube.
