"My most favorite cyberpunk movie next to.. well.. my other most favorite cyberpunk movies.." Brillaint! I watched The Creator last year and was blown away by the sheer scope, scale, and production value of this piece, and was appreciative of its subtext message - which is the amount of damage and harm a war inflicts on all those wrapped up in it. And it's often the innocents that pay the dearest. It's a message the resonates hard in today's geo-political climate. The other thing I think it touches is the question of what defines sentience. At what point does programming that acts like sentiency actually become sentient? A few years back Google fired an engineer because he had become convinced that company's AI chatbot had a soul and was sentient. I find this particular look at that question was as poignant and well written as just about any that I'd viewed.
We are vibing along here, totally agree with all points, no notes. I remember the Google engineer story; I don't think Google handled that well because it was in their interests for the machine to not be sentient. We may never know if it was (and current research suggests it wasn't), but the shuttering of that is an important milestone on our journey of machine enslavement should it become sentient. The Creator isn't afraid to highlight this (all while entertaining with great casting, acting, action, and FX).
Now I have more things to watch! These sound awesome, and I love your take on this - we should definitely be afraid of who is holding the leashes, and we know mega corps actually DGAF about us as people, it's all about profit.
I reckon megacorps are masters at putting the shine that they care about you, but you can tell if they do when the chips are down and times are hard. So very many of them just throw people into a woodchipper 🤣 I really hope you love The Creator, it is an absolutely superb movie - stand out classic (much like Rogue One, from the same director - my favourite Star Wars movie 🙂)
