2001: Space Odyssey film notes

  The film originally starts out focusing on a group of apes. This could suggest that humanity is defined and separated by violence.  Russia vs. United States when it comes to the race to space  Key factor that Floyd met the Russian scientists was that during this time there was a race to space between Russia and the United states.  They go to the moon, but a loud ringing/screeching sound begins and then they are gone  Next scene: is David Bowman and Frank Poole on the Space Odyssey, they are the only humans fully conscious as the rest of the crew is currently in “hibernation”  They are doing an interview and explain that the other crew members are in hibernation to try and maintain enough materials to allow for Bowman and Poole to survive for their 18 month journey, and the other crew members would be awoken when they arrive at jupiter (this is when you first meet HAL)  HAL9000 was a super computer that was programmed into (basically) full control over the spacecraft  HAL9000 computer

Love, Death & Robots

Love, Death & Robots: Zima Blue       I found the story very interesting, and I enjoyed how it was a full-circle plot. When I first watched it, I must admit that I was quite confused about the plot line, so I researched it further. So first, the name of the story comes from the tile color; the manufacturers named the tile "Zima Blue," which was the first thing the robot had ever seen and, for a long time, the only thing that it had ever known. The robot takes on the name Zima and becomes one of the most sought-after artists worldwide or even multiverse. However, they all believe that Zima is human; he had so many modifications done throughout the years that they believed he was human, taking on the form of a robot when it was actually quite the opposite. Zima originally had the goal to find the truth of all, to figure out why everything was created as it was, but on his journey, he realized that in order for him to do so, he would have to look at his life and his beginnin

Metropolis Film Review

     I found the Metropolis film quite enjoyable. I was amazed at how much technology they had to create such a film during the times they did. In addition, the plot was thoroughly thought through and did not leave any open endings. The film shows this futuristic city that looks incredible until you see underneath where there are workers. Spending 10 hours of their day in the dark underground, using their blood to help the machines, working until their bones feel as if they are going to break, only to do it again the next day. While you have the upper class like Joh Fredersen, who runs the city but pretends he does not know about the pain and agony his workers are facing. His son Freder becomes intrigued with the main female character Maria; he becomes infatuated with her so much that he dresses like a worker to see her once again. At the end of the work day, the workers came together in the catacombs, where Maria preached to them the legend of the "Tower of Babel." The stor
