Things to Come
(1936) is a British science fiction film produced by Alexander Korda and
directed by William Cameron Menzies. The film stars Raymond Massey,
Ralph Richardson, Cedric Hardwicke, Pearl Argyle and Margaretta Scott.
The cultural historian Christopher Frayling calls
Things to Come
a landmark in cinematic design.
The dialogue and plot were devised by H. G. Wells as a new story meant
to display the social and political forces and possibilities that he had
outlined in 1933 in
The Shape of Things to Come
, a work he considered less a novel than a discussion in fictional form
that presented itself as the notes of a 22nd-century diplomat.
Things to Come
qualifies as the first true masterpiece of science fiction cinema, and
those who complain about its awkward pace and uninvolving characters are
not understanding Wells's message, which is that the lives and actions
of individuals are unimportant when compared to the progress and destiny
of the entire human race.
