Realistic Utopian movies?

Looking for Utopian movies that are not not too sci-fi. For example: Tomorrowland is sci-fi.
I want to watch something more believable.

Utopias are intrinsically unrealistic.

Unless you're talking about false utopias run by Morlocks, of course.

Speaking of Morlocks !

Cara Delevingne as a child:

Are you sure you're an otter...?

Yeah. A realistic utopia is like a nonviolent slasher movie.

If we're being sardonic, the universe depicted in "Starship Troopers" is a grandiose tale of a perpetual struggle between a united humanity (albeit as an illusion of freedom, symbolized by a flag wrapped around a double-edged sword) against a perceived threat not clearly understood, space-seed colonizing arachnid bugs.

Everyone is seemingly employed, racism is an afterthought, each person's need is matched by their physical output, and those within government have earned their positions through meritocracy.

Surely, corruption is inconceivable. "I do my part." It's all about the narrative.

"Would you like to know more?"

I dont find alien bugs realistic :/

We'd have to be living underneath a rock to think otherwise. Oh wait - didn't one such area get impacted by one? [transmission cuts abruptly...]

Intel:

We don't get to know enough about them in order to determine just how smart they really are.

Except they do express fear, a trait indicating emotion, clear signs of an intelligent life form (or what the people in Star Trek's Starfleet would classify as an ascension being).

Just realized your namesake references another tongue in cheek Paul Verhoeven film. Kudos!

Comunism propaganda movies. Their utopian seems realistic enough to be achieved as long as people be good and do their part wholeheartedly.

None, because Utopia is not only unattainable, it's a really bad idea fostered by Leftards.
