pursuit of happyness (maybe if you think about the rich-poor)

Hmm...V for Vendetta is good..
Other suggestions are:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Movie and/or book)
Prometheus Bound (Play)
Spartacus (movie)

These were suggestions i got last year from my teacher. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was interesting...(movie)

or poems with authority potrayed?

Surprisingly, a lot of Disney movies have authority that could relate to the quote, I'm doing Brave New World. My other option was Hot Fuzz . V for Vendetta would be a good choice, Death Race? Shooter?

EDIT: The Pedestrian or Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
