'Cuz Hollywood, that's why. Those writers usually aren't known for nuance, especially on matters that oppose the status quo. They could've called the buildings "corpo blocks" and it wouldn't have changed the story much.

So I guess I did hear it right, I hear what you are saying, I am assuming you have watched the movie, I will add on top of that is it is The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Studios’ Owners influence on the people actually making the movie. I was surprised this, & the original, was made by a set of huge studios’ owners, but with Steven King writing the original story the way he wrote it, he usually has strict controls on how his works are made & I guess with these changed times, they want to make the most possible profits.
I've only seen the original movie. I just know how Hollywood is. XD
You should have watched it first, proof, Plus, it is a really entertaining movie, Though I would love such problems solved without need for violence, like India’s Independence, but then would be Steven King’s story.
I'll give it a watch. :)
