Reflections of the movies below :)

Future Technology
“Technology cannot save all our problems, and even if it could, there is some intrinsic value in doing a little hard work yourself.” when you aim this high, you can beat all the competition even if you fail to set a new world record”.


1.Wall-E movie
Reflection:
As I watch the movie it’s sweet, clever, funny, and visually stunning and the story seems interesting, besides this movie which is “Wall-E,” creates a revolution by inspiring a reflection on the defense of life and hope for humanity. It promoted with an interpunct as WALL•E, is a 2008 American computer-animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton. The story follows a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity. WALL-E is quite simply, a wonderful animated film that teeters on the edge of greatness but stumbles ever so slightly toward being merely very good. The movie is at its best and most innovative during its first third, which plays like visionary piece of science fiction gene-spliced with a silent movie romantic comedy. As horrible as that hybrid might sound, it is actually a potent combination. Vast cityscapes, beautifully rendered with computer-generated imagery, dazzle the as much as any live-action special effects movie, while the quirky little love story engages your heart without insulting your head. This amazing section of the film is a triumph of animated pantomime. Although the two robots exchange a few words (basically, their names), the storytelling rests on the visuals, which succeed magnificently at overcoming the most obvious hurdle built into the plot: How can we identify with the romantic yearnings of an inhuman mechanical droid – especially when he can never tell us what is in his heart?
I love the characters of the movie one of this is the new woman, Eve, is not only beautiful and perfect but also has time to fall in love, save the world and restore the life of her boyfriend: an absolute revolution in Hollywood’s imaginary cinematography, and the male character in the movie is left with the task of finding a place for poetry and beauty in a world “without life, covered in trash and awaiting the return of humans who wander in a giant spaceship to again repopulate the earth, Piersanti wrote. “The robotic Adam and Eve have the task of restoring to man the place that awaits him”. The script of this movie does not say that humans are part of the problem but part of the solution. The real problem is disengaging from the world, relying on machines to do the work that people should do. The idea that people are preferable to machines is neither radical nor liberal; if anything it’s profoundly conservative. Only someone looking for a place to grind his ax could find fault with the movie’s message, which is nothing more outrageous than,



2.Surrogates
Reflection:
This movie Surrogates is one of those movies that makes like the Ghost of Christmas Yet to come in that it takes place in a not-too-distant future. It’s a warning of sorts or, at the very least, a heads up. Just about everyone has a robot self, a surrogate, that exists in the public world. We humans are relegated to languishing in our homes, being all unattractive and such. But these surrogates are the model of perfection, at least in the looks department. At least, that was the gist that I got. Surrogate Bruce Willis’ hair looked like it belonged on a teenaged Donald Trump.
Surrogates questions the direction of disconnect in which we could be headed. With technology we can be more connected than ever, but it’s replacing the important person-to-person interactions. Rather than chatting with the people we’re standing in line with, we’re engaging in text conversations with people on the other side of town. Instead of taking a short walk down the hall to see if a co-worker wants to grab a bite to eat, we’re often sending them an email. It’s an act of removal and the creation of real surrogates would be the ultimate embodiment of this.
Ironically, Surrogates raises a lot of big and relevant questions, something integral to great science fiction. Although answers don’t always have to be provided, I never fully got the sense that the movie did little more than scratch the surface of possibilities. And because of that, it created the very same vacuum of disconnect it appeared to be investigating.

3.Eagles Eye
Reflection:
The movie “Eagle Eye” is a totally derivative, unoriginal techno-thriller, cribbing scenes and ideas from films as diverse as “North by Northwest,” “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “War Games.” But it’s also thoroughly entertaining, with a fun cast and a plot that moves quickly from crisis to crisis, action scene to action scene. The movie kicks off deep within the Pentagon. It seems that a high-value terrorist target might be on the move, and Secretary of Defense Callister (Michael Chiklis) has been called in to pull the trigger. With just a 51 percent likelihood of an identity match — determined from video/voice info culled from cell phones and satellite imagery — Callister (and the computer running the command center) suggest terminating the mission. The president pushes ahead; however, firing on what might be a funeral and sparking international backlash. This movie fails to explore the admittedly justified suspicions that it arouses with any seriousness. D.J. Caruso delivers a competent thriller, substituting explosions and outrageous notions for personal style and thoughtful storytelling. DreamWorks' 2-disc DVD set will probably satisfy fans of the film, but the movie hardly warrants the special edition treatment.


4.Irobot
Reflection:
The movie doesn't really make clear what a different world it would be if intelligent robots were everywhere. There is brief mention of people losing their jobs to robots, which would certainly happen. But think about the effect on the economy if the cost of labor was effectively zero. Every product imaginable would become dirt cheap, effectively making us all millionaires. And the fast pace of scientific discovery we have now would seem glacial compared to an era when smart machines are designing even smarter machines. Some people call this rapidly approaching moment The Singularity, because once it happens knowledge expands so fast that it's impossible for us to imagine what it would be like. It's apparent fairly early on that this I, Robot won't detain itself with questions about AI ethics or philosophy. It starts as a whodunit, with Spooner as the bitter cop with a murder theory, which no one believes because he has an Issue with Robots. We're meant to side with him, because the robots' defense team includes dry-ice programmer Bridget Moynihan and corporate honcho Bruce Greenwood, who I expected to be addressed by a concerned robot: "You are in serious danger of being typecast as a callous Stupid White Man. For the safety of your career, please proceed in a calm fashion to the nearest Atom Egoyan casting call." It's almost touchingly naïve; who has more time for creative endeavors,

5.Pirates of the Silicon Valley
Reflection:
This is the story of the growth of the personal computer industry. The movie while based on historical fact did alter things a bit for dramatic reasons. The Movie begins with IBM in the early 1980's, the big brother in the computer world that everyone else feared. Everyone dressed alike at IBM, company songs and jingles filled the air, and men in suits were everywhere. In the movie Steve Jobs split his company, Apple into two camps. One the old Apple computer camp and the other the new Macintosh development camp. After seeing this effect on the company, Steve Jobs is forced to leave his position at Apple. Years later the movie picks up with Steve Jobs back in command of Apple who now has partnered with Microsoft and Bill Gates This was a made for TV movie by Turner but it was an excellent movie.
The film dutifully details the skyrocketing of Apple from a manufacturer of the first cookie cutter color PCs (the Apple II that didn't leave your high school until well after you did) to one of the biggest personal computer companies to the giant taken down by the people that helped build it up (don't you know, Microsoft helped make the original Macintosh operating system).

The movie also showcases the big sneaky moves of the business. It shows how Apple grabbed the idea of the GUI from Xerox, how Microsoft got the first DOS from someone else, and how Microsoft started making its own interfaces. Pirates of Silicon Valley also paints an anecdotal picture of the insanity of Jobs and Gates -- Jobs incites cross product team food fights, Gates drives a bulldozer on the grounds of the Redmond campus.




The primary problem with Pirates of Silicon Valley is that it paints every person and event in it like Central Park caricatures. Wyle tries too hard at being the brilliant asshole. Anthony Michael Hall plays Bill Gates like the unpopular kid trying to take over the clubhouse. It also plays lip gloss to a lot of the real reasons for the popularity of Windows (hardware interoperability, business computing needs, supply chain distribution, and developer friendliness).
