Have You Seen: Moon (2009)

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.This week we revisit the science fiction movie "Moon" from 2009 directed by Duncan Jones, starring Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey and Kaya Scodelario, about a helium miner on the moon who discovers he is a disposable clone and everything he has been working toward is a lie.We talk about how Moon is carried by Sam Rockwell's performance as multiple clones of the same person having to come to terms with their mortality, why the dystopian premise of clones mining helium on the moon makes no sense and why so much dystopian science fiction struggles with their premise, and much more.
