- Made in 1975. A view of the future, of technology, and how we store and use information. So, where are we in this vision? Not sure? Just Google or Bing for answer. Not sure how to phrase the question? Go to answers.com to check. The big question -- do you trust the answer, or how/why it is ranked as so?
I was recently trying to find a newspaper article from the San Francisco Chronicle. I have the exact date and page. Their useless search engine could only tell me that over 200 thousand items matched my search. It immediately reminded of this scene from Rollerball.
September 22, 1988 page 1, San Francisco Chronicle.
I recently online searched for newspaper reports of The Carrington Event. They said it was beautiful but problems with the telegraph prevented them from getting news about it.
Made in 1975. Set in 2018. It´s like they knew...
Same goes for Bladerunner '82
you aint ever lied!!!
Saw this at the drive in back in the 70s in a double feature with Logans Run still 2 of my very favorite movies of all time and even more relevant today than ever
A vastly under rated movie. What would happen if the cloud was erased?
We're about to find out. Look what's happening to Federal web sites.
freedom would happen.
Erase the cloud? About as easy as turning off Skynet.
Geographically Dispersed Storage and Computing.
Never gonna happen.
By an EMP?
@@matthewbradley3395 All data centers throughout the world are nuclear targets.
Whenever I Google something to find out information or get an image for drawing reference, most of the results I get are where to BUY the item. Also, I get ads for that item showing up all over the place. The internet is just one gigantic marketing tool.
This movie uses the smallest number Zero for the know it all computer.
Today we have Google for the know it all computer, the largest number.
Interesting opposites.
Or perhaps google has come full circle back to zero.
The only contribution the League of Nations building ever made as an extra in Rollerball. Zero artificial Intelligence
i just love insane, crazy computers from the 1970s. Ralph seems equally insane lol
One drop of that is liable to turn you into a hermit crab
🎉on mount Olympus we will weep tears of joy..meet computer zero
Genius is energy
And finally we arrived in 2018... Don´t Panic! It´s just a script.
Just as I expected- Knowledge controlled by the corporations. And we think we're screwed up now. Negative, negative, negative.....
Still waiting for the commentary on Google. I've only seen this once before years ago, actually not that long before the remake, and found it very memorable and entertaining. Love the funnyness, accuracy and aplomb of Ralph Richardson's 'mad scientist'. Cautionary tale, where you see what happens when a fascist government keeps all of the information in one place. Also, interesting is the psychology between the supposed genius, and the AI machine he has produced.
@The Hooded Claw because he's wrong; it's not a 'fascist' gov't (as if there's a lick of difference between fascists and communists anyway) ... it's a corporatist gov't. Not fascism but feudalism.
@@Hiraghm It all feudalism, there are only free economies, and command economies.
There's a clever lack of information concealing the true nature of this government. Not communism, capitalism, facism. Unknown
Zero.... knows who's visiting
I wonder what James Caan made of Sir Ralph Richardson going well over-the-top as a crazy scientist? ... I wonder what Sir Ralph thought about appearing in an American sc-fi film. I suspect he was glad of the cheque when he'd finished his little cameo part!
The build up to this scene is so good, but then it just gets silly.
Agreed, but that was the style of the film. More than 50 per cent surreal
There's a text story set in 2038 where due to a copyright claim all copyrighted material is accidentally erased.
Wow
Palais des Nations, headquarters of the League of Nations.
Does anyone know anything about the piece of music played up until the 45 second mark?
Shostakovitch - Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 45: IV. Allegro non troppo
@@Baardaasvoel thanks!
Rollerball was Houston's fsvori
1974, actually. Sci-fi and, really, all movies are predictive programming
This version does not match the one I saw in Sweden 1975-76 where James Caan had to ask a question directly to "Zero", but got an answer: I am sorry, but I have forgotten that.
im interested in that. might be a directors cut out there
It's kind of meta. There's more to this version shown here and other videos are showing different incomplete versions.
There was a lot more talking from Zero and it involved Q&A with responses from Zero being meaningless ramble.
As it was said at 3:56, _"He's become so ambiguous now, as if he knows nothing at all."_
@@WokerThanThou ... fun that you have left a comment. (Good job) Further: Do not recognize this scene, so there are perhaps more scene variants around the "floating supercomputer collapse" My "variant" was that it was the supercomputer that vebally responded to the "question" that: "Unfortunately I do not remember" type. If I find other "haircuts," I will answer. on this thread.

We got your *internet* right *here.*
5:32 Professor was like, "Errrr... I don't think you should be asking these kinds of questions!!!!"
The most important movie nobody has ever watched? 👀
Recently.
42.
“Books all changed or transcribed”… publishers are doing that as we speak with childrens books, then it will be hs, college then why have books? All that paper, better digitalize it for the uhhhh environment.
I think that the librarian has been down there too long.
Zero the worlds file cabinet. Sounds familiar.
The computer ZERO misplaced the 13th Century. This happened because it confused by a tautology, the 13th Century and with the current feudal system they were currently living under, when corporations rule the world. Prescient movie.
How is 13th century a tautology? I see how the medieval or pre-democratic, before liberty times would be very similar to a future of fascism though.
Zero has all the information in the world on the 13th century. He is confused because he possibly cannot differentiate between the 13th Century and the early 21st Century. The 13th Century was well before Erasmus, Petrarch, and even Boccaccio. There is no "Humanism" in the 13th Century, and there is a lack of it during the 21st, when Rollerball takes place. Just an opinion.
Can't say I'm very well up on Erasmus, Petrarch and Boccaccio. But I think that sounds right, the opposite ideas that the setting, the society that Rollerball is founded in, which is far from human, or humane. Strong satirical allusion, or could it be more literal? After all, Zero is a highly intelligent machine being held to ransom by scientists. Perhaps it doesn't like anything human sounding, or useful to the well being of people. It hints that it may destroy, wipe and 'kill' the humane deliberately.
The point here is that *nothing much* happened in the past- just a lot of *disease and starvation.* This is a portrait of a society that now, only lives in the *present-* much like _animals_ do.
@@therespectedlex9794 I wouldn't be surprised if the comment about the 13th Century being lost is a reference to Aquinas and an allusion to natural law. The whole arc of Jonathan E (mourning the dissolution of his first marriage, refusing to euthanize MoonPie, his defiance of the rationalistic corporate system) seems based upon Aquinas' idea that certain concepts regarding morality and order are embedded in the human soul and cannot be simply displaced by environment.
6:39 James Caan was trying not to laugh. :P
funny how it all ends at "0"
🎉it ws popular until 2047 then y mnb
1:04 Black woman was like, "WHOAAAAAAA, JAMES CAAN JUST WALKED PAST ME!!!!"
Poor old thirteenth century.
Magna Carta 1215. But I guess their computer won't know that.
Also Aquinas. The intellectual development in the 13th Century was far different from the popular understanding.
Purely fiction forenow
Made in 1975
The answer is always the same. Negative
🎉there were screw ups, sure ..bad days. But yhen what is prvhygv in tjose anarchy dsys
Computer Zero knows all the answers !@ bu .. but he's. It . She. Whatever it is is different kind of moody
