In the movie, robots are seen as gifts that exist for the common good of society. Although, Del does not perceive robots as saints that aids lazy humans with their undesirable tasks, they are senseless, cold, emotionless structures that are the creation of man’s absurd idea that a mere piece of metal can replace the beating, living heart of a

Martin Scorsese’s celebrated movie ‘Hugo’ is widely considered to be a timely reminder on the need for preserving the old movies.But in spite of being adapted from a children’s novel, ‘Hugo’ reveals layers of hidden meaning within the story.One of the major themes recurring throughout the movie is the relationship between humans and technology, or more specifically, humans and machines.Though shown explicitly only in a single dream sequence, the theme of humans turning into machines and vice versa is present throughout the movie.

Their facial expressions, gestures and movements make audiences empathize with the protagonists. In the scene of their first quarrel Rachel McAdams cries, sobs, portrays despair and pleads to stay ,as realistically as if she feels her character’s emotions. In scenes of happy moments she smiles and laughs sincerely, like when she listens to Noah (Ryan Gosling) sitting next to her. Ryan Gosling also demonstrated his acting talents in the movie. His character is very romantic and faithful and the actor expressed these traits very well. For instance, in the scene he first meets her he looks at her with loving eyes, his eyebrows are raised a bit as he cannot stop admiring her. When other women try to talk to him, he lets them see their attempts are futile via tone changes and hands crossed on his chest, which express his love and faithfulness. Such a realistic actors’ performance reinforces the dramatic plot.

“Technology is a queer thing. It brings gifts in one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other,” as quoted by American stand-up comedian Carrie Snow. As aforementioned by Snow, technology is an anomaly itself since it is composed of a staggering amounts of attributes, ranging from moral to physical attributes specifically, that have yet to be established or even discovered. These aspects seem to be established for when it comes to developing any form of technological progress. Even as simple as it seems to ponder the concept of technology, it is rather stunning to process as well. It all seems to be due to the thought of not knowing the outcome of any advancement in technology. Unfortunately, there is also the other side of technology

The good thing about films is that we not only have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of different genres, but also compare them and understand their purpose in the world. The Horror genre has used the basic principles throughout time, and as a result, films of this type have not proven to be as timeless as another genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy. At first, these two genres might at times seem similar as they have at several occasions been blended together, but their basic, common theme serves different meanings about humans. I shall compare and contrast these two genres and focus on both classic films and modern films. From the Horror genre perspective I shall discuss Psycho (1960) and The Mist (2007), while in the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre I will examine 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), and Serenity (2005). Although the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre and the Horror Genre share some similarities, the differences lie in their focus on human progress.

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

In the films Avatar and District 9, which were both released in 2009, there are stereotypical elements of the science fiction genre. By discussing humanity towards aliens, a reliance on an advance in technology, the use of corporate giants as a controlling forces as well as moral and emotional manipulation, this essay will prove to a large extent that District 9 and Avatar have evolved past typical science fiction films. However, it will also prove how District 9 has continued to evolve and therefore is more evolved as a science fiction film than Avatar.
