At the time that Meet John Doe was released the world was on the cusp of some very major changes that made the topic remarkably relevant. I would dare to say that our current world climate demands this movie to be watched.

An under the gun reporter penning her final article prior to her termination taking effect opens the eyes of seemingly the world when she manufactures a character (John Doe) who isn't afraid to express his true thoughts and put his life on the line (pun intended?) to hold them. The newspaper goes along, and even encourages, the deception once the article is widely recognized by the public and they see a gold mine in readership.

Many begin to relate to the thoughts displayed in the recurring articles to the point that the author begins to actually alter her own perception of reality.

Please do yourself a favor and watch this film. Commit to it.
