Mr. Robot

I Robot, directed by Alex Proyas, is a film that shows how modern technology will advance within the years; making people question their everyday lifestyle. In I Robot, the main character Detective Del Spooner, had us follow his journey on questioning societal expectations. This all began from the creation that Dr. Alfred Lanning, who created the robots as well as V.I.K.I. The main NS5 robot in the movie is named Sonny, who questioned his purpose of life as a robot. This Film was designed to have us question, understand the rules and order in situations and evolve with society.

Trying to reinvent himself. The focus point will be how nothing will be perfect will displayed between relationships, disappointing moments and how violence wont fix anything The novel Inventing Elliot conveys the idea that Life is full of disappointments and not everything turns out to be

Good dialogue gives the reader the feel that he is spying and it encompasses both what is said and what is not said

Altman also uses dialogue in a similar manor. The nature of dialogue itself is solely for creating and upholding the self image of the “Nashville Star” weather you are one or not. The conversations never get passed the surface issues, and no one ever speaks their mind unless it’s safe. But, the reality of each character is very real and deep due to the way the dialogue was set up. Most of the people were frivolous so in order to add some depth and reveal their true character Altman had to make the dialogue as realistic as possible. The dialogue seemed almost unrehearsed or not planned at all which gives it its reality. The most odious example of this is when the Hal Walker representative is arguing about the political sign with Barbra Gene’s husband at Centennial Park. He slips on his line in the heat of the argument. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but I think they chose to keep it in the movie because it seemed to be more true to reality than just a smooth flowing argument that would normally be in a movie. The little slip gave way, for the first time, a vulnerable side to the Hal Walker rep or even politics for that matter.

He also does this with the science fiction culture. Frequently in the novel Oscar would go on rants about a game or a book he has just seen, anyone with only common knowledge of this genre would have no clue what he is saying. That is exactly how it is supposed to be. By the end of the

Only when the Elliot’s experience new perspectives and develop a sense of self, will Billy and Jacky gain an appreciation of new values, whilst gaining a deeper understanding of self, developing strength and integrity. Within the first scene, it foreshadows Billy’s inner feelings towards dancing, and the ultimate joy that it brings to him. Through the wide shot, of Billy jumping with his full body against a wall, reflects how dancing is of great importance and an element in his life that he truly cherishes. “I was dancing since I was twelve” emphasising the ultimate transition that Billy is going through, challenging his family values and ultimately societies stereotypical images. The claustrophobic and cramped styled housing portrays a working and lower class society that Billy has come accustomed to. The vulgar language that is used to communicate with one another, and violence proves to be a male dominated society, and by dancing, which is something “girls do. Not lads”, identifies that this aspect of a male dancer is unheard of within the working-class society, “you’re a disgrace to them gloves, your father and the traditions to this boxing hall”. Running his hands against a brick wall and being enclosed in a tiny

In the novel Canyons by Gary Paulsen, the author use dialogue to describe how the characters feel and to show upcoming events in the novel. An example is when Greg was talking with his mother and said “yes. He is. I can’t believe what he

Elliot is seen as one of the most influential modernistic poet of all time. Elliot’s poems evidently highlight the real face of modern man and modern existence by exploring the social realms that society is placed under in a desolately described, modernistic world. TS Elliot describes the industrialised world in both J Alfred Prufrock and Preludes as a disjointed, dehumanised world where mundane activities are ever-present in people’s lives. Elliot focuses on using the character’s viewpoint through the stream of consciousness as a means of highlighting the major concerns of modernism. His poems J Alfred prufrock and Preludes disclose the major concerns of modernism associated with the backdrop of the bleak, industrialised world, that is

Elliot Rodger is incredibly detailed when writing about his childhood, and he describes it as the happiest years of his life, taking up the first 5 pages to reminisce about his early life in England. After these first 5 pages his story becomes morose and Rodger begins to describe his more negative experiences in school. When recounting his early life, Rodger seems almost surprised that he was friends with girls at a young age. His hatred for the female population runs very deep and he tends to oversexualize the women that were in his life. By page 49 of his autobiography he has established that he was morbidly insecure and jealous of the young people he interacted with- a theme that would carry out until the end of his story. At page 57 Rodger starts to become violent and his hatred for the world shines through: “I was fueled both by my desire to destroy all of the injustices of the world, and to exact revenge on everyone I envy and hate. I decided that my destiny in life is to rise to power so I can impose my ideology on the world and set everything right." Elliot had become obsessed with attempting to enter the social scene and was genuinely angry at people that had relationships, had sex, and were overall happy. Starting at page 82 he begins to discuss his deep hatred for women, which continues on throughout the rest of his story, "It was society's

Films are created as a reflection of society. They are designed to be a storytelling platform that inform the viewing audience about a specific message. Often time, films are created to address society’s present state, but rather end up predicting the future. From the 1968 hit film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, that predicted space tourism and algorithm operating systems, to the jaw-dropping 1984 film, Star Trek III:

In this scene, Elliot logs into Haikumom’s account and antagonizes Orangutan after impersonating Odessa. Orangutan then reveals that Odessa has spoken about Elliot, including his addiction to pain medication, which shocks Yaz, as Elliot had never shared that with her. This interaction ends when Elliot abruptly unplugs the computer. Not only does this scene feature intersecting story lines but intersecting realities as well. Here we see Elliot and Yazmin, previously in the realm of physical reality, insert themselves into the addicts' cyber reality.

Though restrictive in terms of time, the short film genre allows directors a wider range of personal choices to explore and experiment with ideas and the art form itself. They allow directors such as Virgil Widrich to experiment with unconventional methods of film creation in his short film The Copy Shop. Frederico Heller’s Uncanny Valley is another short film that also takes advantage of the creative liberty enabled by the genre to convey narrative in unique methods and formats. These two films employ unconventional film and narrative structures to explore themes and ideas. Virgil Widrich’s

To my knowledge, I would assume he is experiencing positive symptoms of schizophrenia, specifically delusions of persecution, because Elliot believes he is being followed or plotted against. His grotesque thoughts and beliefs were also accompanied by visual hallucinations of his father, who died of leukemia when Elliot was a young boy. He was then left in the sole care of his mother, whom he had a poor relationship with and would often abuse him. What’s interesting is that Elliot doesn’t recognize his father through these illusions and gave him a different narrative to play. He forgets an important chunk of his childhood, signaling retrograde amnesia and unconsciously assigns unusual roles for the people in his past. At the end, we learn that Elliot was never a victim to these hallucinations but suffers from dissociative identity disorder. By taking on his father’s personality and disguising him as another person, he was able to store away any memories about his father that are difficult to handle. Instead of suffering through the idea that he is alone, Elliot chooses to defuse these feelings of past trauma. In summary, being able to experience an alter personality was a coping mechanism for

Most of the science fiction works contain a crucial message that the writer wishes to convey to the viewers. There are two categories of film message, one is positive and the other is negative. A positive message is one that is expected to have favourable outcome to the audience, and continuously aiming to promote better societal changes. In contrast, a negative message is one that could deliver threats or unpleasant information to the audience, which could have significant impact on the normal order of the society. This essay will argue that if the message contains positive elements, then it is not a bad sign to embed science fiction works with a message. First, this essay will suggest that the well-integrated message within a particular
