Technology has splintered the human spirit.

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2014)

This movie is about social isolation and how technology has splintered the human spirit into broken parts. Throughout the whole movie I was left feeling very uneasy and embarrassed to be sitting in a movie theatre hall surrounded by people and watching the lead character in the movie having a sexual relationship with his computer. It reminded me of peep-shows or sex-museums where individuals go to experience something they have not actually experienced themselves. The use of the computer in this movie and the interactions with humans showed the scary intimate relationship each entity has with each other. There were elements of 2001: Space Odyssey and the HAL demon computer in this movie, as how loyal is a relationship, if the entity is having a love relationship with 600 plus others? A movie is about feeling, and this movie left me with a feeling of dismay and at the same time, this non-reality reflected our Modern Day reality in a very specific way. I live in a society and a community that is absorbed by artificial connections, engineered combats and stylized realities so in a sense this movie reflects truth.
