There's no way to tell what the writer intended.

It makes no sense with either "wash" or "washes". I have no idea what the writer is trying to express. Can you give us more context? Can you give us the sentences before and after it (without us having to click on a link)?

It makes sense to me. A wash is a very thin (translucent or even transparent) coating of paint - think watercolors and ink washes. I can't tell what they're referring to, but it's suggesting it's a kind of veneer or 'wash over' somewhat resembling the film.

It makes more sense if you're familiar with the movie. In a nutshell, everyone lives a hedonistic lifestyle, but under the guise of conserving resources, everyone is killed when they reach 30. However, they don't know that they'll actually be killed, because they've been brainwashed to believe they're being reborn. Dystopia under the guise of utopia kind of thing. Other underlying themes include misplaced trust and over-reliance on a government to provided for your every whim, accepting what you're told without questioning, euthanasia for population control, etc.

Hence the original text's reference to humanity's greatest excesses.
