Deciphering I, Robot
I feel bad for the movie. It was good movie, with a good story, but somewhere along the way it got lost. It is sad how nowadays all movie studios care about is money but at the same time it is understandable. When you make a movie you want money. And to do that your going to make movies that get you money and lots of it. Me? I personally loved I, Robot but, I am a geek, I, Robot is made for geeks. The special effects and futuristic setting only personify that. However the more philosophical aspects of the human-technology relationship were something that I thought was dumped down a lot. Instead of spending time on in-depth dialogue and thoughtful satire, the producers and director decided to have intense chase scenes and witty repertoire`. When did film become so materialistic? I thought this was supposed to be art filmmakers are making. I guess everyone has to make a buck somehow. But still I can understand making a film that has no possibility for anything remotely philospical or thought provoking, but still why can’t art and the commercially driven media coexist in harmony? Why does my intellectual film need to be muddied up by burger king ads? Such is life I suppose. My only wish is that the media would stop being so concerned with money, money, money and start making films that express life, love and anything that makes us stop and think about who we are as human beings.
