Short Film: Uncanny Valley

I enjoy this short film because it shows how the reality is not what we expected. One of the assumptions of post humans says "they configure human being so that it can be seamlessly articulated with intelligent machines". In other words they configure humans to make them believe that been a machine is the greatest thing. The film shows that this people see the virtual life as their real life because is the only thing they have, they feel how they really are. These people are outsider in the society so they used them, creating a false reality. The film shows some themes we have seen through the curse, cyberpunk films are based on the use of poor and unstable people to create machines and the roll of consciousness to establish human identity in a robot.Even though we move a human mind into a robot they still have humans values that is way in the last shot we see that he shoot himself when he realize the bad things they have done. They create a life making him believe he was the good guy but it was the other way around the robots were the bad guys.

Matrix (1999)

The Matrix is a exciting movie to watch it has great special effects and present the problematic of  how do we want to live our live by faith or follow our destiny. The movie has some common themes that represent cyberpunk like a dystopian society and bonduries between machine and humans. In the film we se that the boundary is very thin, humans seeks for more high technology (A.I) but they don't have the power yo control it so then they want to destroy it. I really like the fight scenes they use a lot of slow motion effects and shots making the scene more dramatic.
