Contracts to non-self-portraits wonderful term are quite common in film,
often focusing on the major concerns of the time. The first science fiction
dystopian film is Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis. Other than interesting
developments in robotics, this revolutionary masterpiece represents the
rich living in opulence, under discouraged workers who work hard
underground in dangerous and grueling conditions. class and the working
relationship was very controversial issues back in the day. It was rather
controversial then, but his Socialist angle wasn t too penalizing.
Hollywood shows signs of running out of new ideas, which unfortunately
filmmaking to lately smallest problem. (As proof, I'll quote unnecessary
remakes of great films about old times, often giving. T up to the original
Plus they. Re increasingly plundering comics for plotlines) Even, they've
come out with some good recent movies about a decaying society where might
lead. In fact, since Hollywood seems to be knee-deep in degeneration, which
better?
Idiocracy
A couple of high IQ waited too long to have children. It is a scenario
quite common these days, especially with the advent of feminism and
consumption. More specifically, young women with professional aspirations
generally party away their most fertile years. Then (as shown in the movie)
they finally move to lock a reliable supplier boring, but they have to
wait, wait, wait until they're financially secure.
Unfortunately, they've slapped the snooze & # 8221; button on the
biological clock too many times. However, shown next to them is a pair with
normal dull IQS. None too diligent about birth control, they have many
children and many descendants. Over the centuries, the world population
becomes increasingly stupid and incompetent. The film takes several nudges
culture redneck, but certainly not the worst example of Hollywood types
make fun of people who grow their food.
In total, he described a theme that Francis Galton and Henry Goddard (among
others) has warned there is a century. What's truly remarkable is that
Idiocracy accepts the idea that intelligence is inherited, IQ has
significant effects, and loss of intelligence over time would cause deep
social problems.
That's essentially what The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in
American Life exposed in painstaking detail. Aside from the findings (of
course), the book took a moderately liberal position. As such, the authors
seemed as bishops who have discovered an ancient manuscript in the Vatican
archives conclusively disproved a biblical key doctrine, as the existence
of God or something monumental like that.
Despite their modest approach, and focus together on the best way to help
everyone to integrate into society, the book was & # 8212; and still is & #
8212; controversial. (This was mostly due to Chapters 13 and 14 discuss
racial differences.) In fact, the authors market across the ideological
nature of the debate Tripwire / nurture set by Franz Boas and Trofim
Lysenko. I'll have to Richard donner Herrnstein credit for being one of the
most honest leftists of the world, unlike all the others who yelled bloody
murder about The Bell Curve since it came out. In addition, Charles Murray
is an exceptional libertarian not ignore the subject.
How a society work, after the intelligent type K-selected fail to keep
their lines running, but dull selected types r-breed like rabbits? If you
go by Idiocracy, this translates into a crude and incompetent company with
medical technicians even completely clueless, and energy drinks used
instead of water. If you pass by The Bell Curve, it's a strong correlation
between low IQ and social dysfunction such as illegitimacy and crime,
compared within the same population group. If you go by world maps IQ,
average intelligence rather closely corresponds with the way the country is
managed.
Overall, it is a disturbing thought, and what to do about it remains a
thorny issue. This is largely because of leftist taboo on even considered
these issues. The film itself has no answer, but it is good enough for the
uneducated humor.
Wall-E
The film begins to show the world completely transformed into a pile of
garbage. It is so sorry that a roach & # 8212; the only example of animal
life represented & # 8212; actually looks cute. Of course it's only a
cartoon, but we want to shout to the people to let things get that way & #
8230; except that there are no people. The holder robot works tirelessly to
clean up the mess, using robots failed as a source of spare parts. Wall-E
has been at it for so long that he's developed intelligence and a bit of
nostalgia culture that once existed.
Then another robot appears on the scene & # 8212; this sophisticated & #
8212; and a romance develops. As it happens, EVA has a secret mission,
which ends up profoundly affect the destiny. Their adventure continues, one
wonders if the robots are the only intelligent beings left. When humans
finally seen, it is quite horrifying & # 8212; they're these softies they
can not even walk. In fact, the original plan was that people still
degenerates into amorphous blobs, although the filmmakers decided to tone
it down not to frighten children.
The film ends on an optimistic note. , They have yet to recover from the
total environmental devastation. I doubt that it would never quite that bad
for real. Still, the loss of species in modern times is considered a global
extinction event already, and is difficult to say how much worse it will
get in the future. If this points out to me a tree hugger, I m guilty as
charged. In total, the film is a powerful warning about pollution, resource
depletion, environmental disaster, consumption, and the lack of during the
exercise.
Blade Runner
In the distant future (2019 to be precise), a cop reluctantly agrees to & #
8221 retire; four escaped replicants themselves, humans genetically
engineered. These were designed to have superhuman powers, not experience
emotions, and die in four years. They're slaves perfect & # 8212; unless
they start to have their own ideas.
Although these fugitive replicants aren t quite psychologically man,
they're really just act as rationally as possible. They play dangerous
villains in the film, but they & # 8221 retirement; seems about the same as
murder. Well, slavery sucks; a point is quite controversial in all but the
less civilized parts of the world.
In all, it's a film classic science fiction. Blade Runner is one of the
rare cases where a film is better than the novel on which it was based. Do
Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was kind of a yawner, but how it is going
to Philip K. Dick books.
Now that we're coming to 2019 soon, the film chronology dated SEEMS. (It's
only half right, remember he came out in 1982, when Southern California
still looked to America.) We don t have interstellar colonies (just one
international space station so far) and LA's smog problem isn t all bad.
Nevertheless, if things don t go well, then in Los Angeles could end up
almost as crowded, dirty and dingy in the next century or two. However, if
the company does not degenerate to this condition, we could not even
international space station then.
The Western world is a slow descent to a trend conditions in developing
countries. One reason (among others) is the erosion of the middle class,
that worsens whenever accidents economy. The super-rich tend to develop
throughout, especially when they're bailed out to be too big to fail & #
8220;. Increasingly vast wealth gaps aren t too promising for the future.
If the donation trends t change, discomfort and despair Blade Runner might
happen in the new world order that the globalists have planned.
Regarding genetic engineering, which has great promise. Not only can it
eliminate genetic diseases, it can also stimulate the intellect (the
scenario avoid Idiocracy), and even make them more beautiful people.
However, it could be used for evil ends: unhealthy food, creating genetic
monsters against nature, or making public docile and stupid. There is
absolutely no limit to where people go to it. Blade Runner is warning about
this new technology just on the horizon.
