HON 255: TRON Legacy Final Project

Image
Olivia, Naomi, and myself decided to do our final project on TRON: Legacy, an action, adventure, sci-fi movie released in 2010. It features Oliva Wilde, Jeff bridges, Garrett Henlund etc. It portrays the story a young man named Sam, whose father (Kevin Flynn) was a famous video game designer and creator of a a massive cyber world referred to as "The Grid" and went missing 20 years prior. Throughout the movie Sam discovers and enters his fathers cyber world and goes on a quest to find his father in an advanced high-tech virtual reality world.  I enjoyed this movie. It was very much so a gotta-get-home adventure film. It reminded me of the movie we watched Ready Player One, in terms of the technologically advanced virtual reality world that the players enter. Although I've never seen the original 1982 TRON movie, I know when that movie was released it was almost revolutionary, there wasn't many movies like it that incorporated a digital world with so many special effect...

HON 255 Love, Death, & Robots: Three Robots Reflection

I chose to write about   Love, Death, & Robots: Three Robots  in detail. This episode of volume one of the 2022 Emmy nominee sci-fi/horror tv show. Philip Gelatt, the tv show writer, worked alongside John Scalzi who wrote these original stories while Victor Maldonado and Alfredo Torres directed under Blow Studio.

They tour the city and sightsee because there are no humans, they seem to take on the role of humans by doing what humans would have done. They embody humans’ personalities and reactions to their findings. Each robot comes from a different line of electronics such as baby monitors. There is the tall human shaped robot (XBOT 4000), a smaller doll like robot, and a wider triangular bot(11-45-G) with a monotone voice like Alexa or Siri. The triangular bot takes selfies with a dead cheerleader and does a cheer with her old pompoms. The smaller bot finds a baske...

HON 255- Thoughts on Ghost in the Shell

-I thought Ghost in the Shell was a very interesting movie. It demonstrated an almost scary version of society that was dominated by futuristic aspects of cyberspace. All of the characters are enhanced through technology and machinery and they have an advantage in that world. I would typically ever really watch anime, but Ghost in the Shell was full of such interesting ideas that have the potential to foreshadow the dark stories that have the potential to come to life in the future. It addresses philosophical question about the identities of humans and what this means for the future when powerful technology/machinery continues to intertwine in our lives. The artwork is able so amazing, detailed, and graphic all with deeper meaning.  - The "Three Laws of Robotics," which Asimov developed among his collection of robot-related short stories titled "I, Robot," are arguably his greatest contribution to the theme. The laws mentioned above include: A robot may not injure a...
