The year is 2018. There is no crime and there are no more wars. Corporations are now the leaders of the world, as well as the controllers of the people. A violent futuristic game known as Rollerball is now the recreational sport of the world, with teams representing various areas competing for the title of champion. The defending championship team, the Houston team led by the determined ten-year veteran Johnathan E., is looking to repeat as champions. However, Bartholomew, the sinister corporate head, wants Johnathan to retire, even though he is the most respected athlete of his time. Johnathan's rebellious quest will not come out with complications, both for him and his teammates, after he decides to continue playing despite Bartholomew's threats.
In a futuristic society where corporations have replaced countries, the violent game of Rollerball is used to control the populace by demonstrating the futility of individuality. However, one player, Jonathan E., rises to the top, fights for his personal freedom, and threatens the corporate control.
This is one of the best sci-fi films. What makes it so great is that, like the best sci-fi, it is a metaphor as well as a warning for today. Unlike the stupid and pointless remake of Rollerball that was all action and NO message, this original is far smarter. The writer obviously felt that within us all is the inclination to be turned on by mindless violence and thus able to be controlled as a people.
In this movie, the opiate for the ignorant masses is a mindless game that does NOTHING to improve mankind. Because, it turns out, the corporations that now rule the Earth WANT the public to be stupid and easily controlled through this sick and violent sport. This sounds a lot like pro sports (or Jerry Springer) TODAY! There were several scenes I particularly enjoyed. One was the party in which guests had fun burning down trees with a flame throwing pistol. Although destructive and pointless, it was a "wonderful time had by all". Another was the deliberate juxtaposition (GREAT WORD--I wish this was SCRABBLE) of some of the most moving and beautiful pieces of classical music with violent images. In fact, the soundtrack alone makes this movie a must-see.
Rollerball is a futuristic glimpse into the not so distant future. It shows us in depth the trials and tribulations of Johnathan who is a star in the extremely violent game. Rollerball is an ever-changing game that was specifically designed so that no one can excel at it. The game is ran, as the world is, by corporations. Johnathan is confronted by the leader of the corporations(and thus Rollerball) and asked to retire from the game. Johnathan refuses and continues to play, even when the rules are changed so that penalties and time limit are erased. But he receives a rude awakening when he finds out exactly how much power the corporations have. These events lead up to the final glorious game, where Johnathan proves that no matter what the rule change, he is still the true Rollerball champion.
Rollerball is an amazing look at not only then evolution of man, but the evolution of sport as well. It shows that corporate sponsorship of sport will only grow, and eventually control our whole lives. As well, that although we have evolved, the gladiator style of sport still yearns to entertain us. This is amply shown by director Norman Jewison, who creates a Romanesque atmosphere circulating around the Rollerball arena.
The players on roller skates can use force against one another but to attack a motorbike rider or a roller skater who has fallen to the ground is a foul and punished by three minutes out of the arena. If injured a player can be rescued by medics and replaced by a substitute. a5c7b9f00b
