The short story, “Robot Dreams,” by Isaac Asimov, was transformed into a full length movie called I, Robot. The two have very similar aspects and qualities, but they are also very different. Some similar qualities include the “Three Laws of Robotics,” Dr. Calvin, and that the main robot has the ability to dream. Many new enhancements were added to the movie such as new characters, dialogue and different settings.…
Displaying similar themes of the book Fahrenheit 451, the movie I, Robot supports the themes of: Independent thought and intellectual freedom, and the control of technology. The themes are presented because I, Robot and Fahrenheit 451’s settings are related and set in a similar era. In the movie, a unique robot, named sunny, is able to behave differently, unlike other robots, Sunny contains the ability to think and draw conclusions on his own terms. In addition an artificial intelligence, named VIKI, is able to evolve and determine its own decisions. This supports the theme of independent thought and intellectual freedom because Sunny and VIKI are able to think autonomously and affect their civilization. Their ability of intellectual freedom and independent thought yield changes to society such as the characters of Fahrenheit 451: Clarisse, Faber, Beaty, and Montag. VIKI is cunningly capable of alternating the thoughts of other robots in her control as when Faber and Clarisse influence Montag to think independently. All of the characters ability to think independently helps them comprehend thoughts without restriction and understand more.…

WALL-E directed by Andrew Stanton and produced by Pixar in 2008, is an animated science fiction movie, . What is so unique and very intresting about this movie is that you understand everything with just the images only and with so few dialogues, you can still be captivated and feel very strong emotions while watching WALL-E. I believe that this movie has a strong mix of science fiction and a love story the relationship between the two robots is just as important as the general plot. This film takes from a genre that came long before sci-fi movies, its silent films. When both of the robots are on the screen, there isn't really any dialogue, its mostly the pictures and the actions of the robots telling the story.…
The people in the movie shows no individuality since they all wear the same clothing which make them seem like a robot more than a human. When the movie plays near the end,…
To sum up, Ex Machina manifests the blurry difference between humans and robots asking audiences to ponder the uniqueness of human nature. The movie conveyed deception through both literal and visual languages of cinematic storytelling. In the end, all the cinematic elements come to a full circle to substantiate the motif of this story. That is, the art of guile.…
In the late 1950’s electronic music was becoming popular, especially in Hollywood. The music in this movie adds an eerie tone to the futuristic theme. Some of the special effects, which were revolutionary for its time, may look tacky for today’s standards but was indeed spectacular and breath-taking for the audience of its time. The space ship traveling through space, the beast and its roars, the projectiles from their guns; they were all a great vision and an imaginative creation that helped create some masterpieces today, such as Star Trek and Star Wars. And of course, the most favorite character, Robby the robot, had many tricks up his sleeve. He was designed to perform many tasks such as to the ability to speak 187 languages, to brew bourbon whiskey, and to even have superhuman strength. For the era this movie was made, the special effects were so good that A. Arnold Gillespie, Irving G. Ries, and Wesley C. Miller were nominated for an Academy Award. They were in charge of the…
Have film makers today run out of original ideas and ways to artistically express their individuality? With the recent slew of film remakes and adaptations of classics such as King Kong, The Manchurian Candidate, and Ocean’s Eleven, it would appear that the film industry has had to reach into the past to seek inspiration for their new works. Critics may claim that in the capitalistic, hyper competitive world of film production today, profits take precedence over trying to construct an engaging story line from scratch. After all, remakes and adaptations of film classics guarantee a sense of familiarity and nostalgia with the audience, and seem sure-bets for box office success. However, history reveals that in the world of the arts, some of the most prominent literary and film texts have actually greatly depended on works of the past.…
Like George Lucas' original 1977 "Star Wars", Guillermo del Toro's sci-fi actioner uses high technology to pump up disreputable subject matter to Hollywood blockbuster levels. The film's main selling point is its overscaled action sequences. In a terrified futureworld, spindly-limbed, whale-sized beasts emerge from a Hellmouth on the ocean floor and duke it out with immense robots. The robots are run by two-pilot teams whose movements suggest tai chi exercises taking place on the world's largest, weirdest elliptical machines. They work in pairs because they use their minds and bodies to guide the machines in the way that puppeteers guide puppets, and the technology is too complex for a single brain to handle.…

These different themes are used during the film to send important messages and morals to the audience. Peter weir uses these themes not to make money from a great movie but to actually mimic the film industry and show that all we care about now is money and ratings.…
