Hackman's character Karl is Neo but absent anywhere to go or any abilities to gain while in a system only going to get stronger. The fact t hat hackman later played in enemy of the state about the same topic and re ceived much better acclaim shows you how good the conversation is.\n\n One thing is the end of the conversation \, when hackman's surveillance turns out to be erroneous and he is in shock to a friend but then when he picks up a phone his watchers profess he is being watched and his watchers admi t to him it is a holistic surveillance. The failure of the individual to c ompete next to the state in the business of surveillance  is the closing theme of the story.  Their is also a movie with Sandra Bullock around ide ntity control\, which is similar to Hackman's old film and similarly didn' t get the accolades for the raw approach. \n\n\n\n https://www.youtube.co m/watch?v=huYQ7x0v9E8\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1970 colossus\, the forbin pro ject\n\n James Hong citing. The key is access. \n\n Funny how Wargames an d the Terminator both have as their main premise computers being given acc ess to nuclear arsenals\, cause humans don't trust humans or humans don't act quick enough on command. But there lies the true story for me. It is t he fact that in colossus/wargames/the terminator a computer program is giv en access to what it shouldn't. The enemy isn't the computer programs abil ities. The enemy is the human hubris that gives computer's the access to p ower the computer should not have. \n\n\n\n https://vimeo.com/584593423?f l=pl&\;fe=vl\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n 1972 Silent Running\n\n And the ro le of space exploration in preserving the earth. The myth is that once hum anity figures out how to go outside earth and extract everything or use ev erything earth can be a paradise forgetting the inefficient human systems will get in the way. \n\n\n\n https://ok.ru/video/5844487178779\n\n\n\n \ n\n\n\n \n\n 1973 Soylent Green \n\n I concur about resource based social structures. The fact that soylent green has no resistance movements is un derrated. The percent of people who have knowledge is being reduced to a l evel where not enough people know anything to have movements. Most of the people with knowledge are old. And expensive computer systems are not arou nd either. Computer games for the rich. Computer systems in manufacturing\ , developing soylent green exist but they are unable to do anything or int erfere with anything of a grand design\, because they are designed well.  \n\n\n\n https://archive.org/details/soylent-green-1973_20210310\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1975 Rollerball\n\n The role of sport in modernity. The key is the efficiency of human systems and how sport is one of the last and m aybe only activity human beings enjoy that requires humans. humans enjoy w atching humans fight to the death. In rollerball the AI is a computer trap ped in a room with data. It isn't connected to nuclear weapons and in roll erball it seems people don't carry around computer systems of a certain le vel of advanced interaction. And yet\, the corporations have specific mach ines for surveillance and more. The problem is of ideas. It isn't that hum anity hasn't found a balance\, it is that the balance through technology d emands total control or adherence to a system of life.\n\n\n\n \n\n 1975 D eath Race 2000\n\n This is reality television's future. From \"Big Brother \" to \"Naked and Afraid\" to \"Jackass the movie\" to \"Real Housewives\" to \"The Kardashian clan\" Reality TV which is the most scripted\, is des igned to give viewers the distant pleasures of viewing\, safe in that they are never hurt while active in that they participate in the action sequen ce. Death Race like Roller ball is a world where the system of business ha sn't made poverty\, but the human need to have more has been sated by an a thletic competition designed to allow the closest to complete depravity.\n \n\n\n https://youtu.be/-1SEgbolSF4?si=Y6oJKaLqAjXYweP3\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \ n\n 1975 the stepford wives\n\n As I typed\, robotic bodies while electron ic simulation systems are ever nearer. No laws exist to even remotely guid e humans\, especially males from desiring pseudo female slaves and the fil m correctly shows what happens to real women in a disadvantaged situation when men can replace them with someone perfect to their intentions. Not as nature intended. I argue the remake with the bioelectrical controlling ch ip misses the brutality of the original film. In the remake the women can be saved with a change in the circuit but in the original film\, the women once truly replaced are killed to make way for the robotic woman. \n\n\n \n https://youtu.be/UiqinUpRQgU?si=63Pxk3Sv4AA1czfn\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1973 Westworld \n\n Like Death race or Rollerball\, Westworld is a world where poverty isn't the problem but entertainment gives humans the ability to not get involved in questioning the larger system. How is wealth distr ibuted. As in rollerball or death race\, we don't see what goes on in the poorer regions in humanity\, which is the frightening reality of westworld \, a playground for the haves while no consideration to the have nots who are clearly blockaded from all thought or media exposure.\n\n\n\n https:// youtu.be/PzlbMrpF7qA?si=RyFzDj0SJhkLjTtv\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1978 The bo ys from Brazil \n\n Genetic engineering requires environmental controls a nd to what lengths can the wealthy use to dictate who is born \, what trai ts survive. What damage can be done to humanity by humanity when genetic e ngineering becomes feasible to humans most fantastical desires.\n\n\n\n ht tps://youtu.be/3UKWdOEEFMs?si=hnNQLTWduVeQ-kmT\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1978 Coma \n\n Organ harvesting is real. This is known in prisons or in poor c ountries. Coma shows this. The tragedy is how people don't want to face th is\, like soylent green. What if you need a human being to help you live\, not to feed. The desperation to live by the rich has no bounds. Vampires.  \n\n\n\n https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9m08cm\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1976 Network \n\n Mad as hell. Audience likes dictate over quality. It i sn't about guiding to betterment but selling any subject or content to pro fit. Nothing is sacred when anything can be sold. \n\n\n\n https://youtu. be/A64rR5Dp07s?si=lHAKbcO42cgV4E4y\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n https://you tu.be/_RujOFCHsxo?si=Tom5kBIplsPI0cbF\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n 1977 Cap ricorn One \n\n The key is providing an illusion is more important than t he truth. Like Network media dictates events and so controlling media is e ver more important. Such that the efficiency of the system will slowly deg rade to a point where no one will be ready. \n\n\n\n https://youtu.be/fMJ wIeXYE0g?si=-FZ_4QLDWmV9HZsc\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1974 Dark Star \n\n Th e corporatization of space travel. Will be a true wild west of the future. Not the myth of cowboys vs Indians\, but the reality of people fighting e ach other \, surviving the elements \, while either are paving the way for the rich to remove both of them once the moon/mars or other outer areas a re settled\, just like the west. \n\n\n\n https://www.dailymotion.com/vid eo/x8tb80s\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1976 Logan's Run\n\n This is a dysfunctio nal plan of human preservation. Humanity outside the dome is dying\, while humanity in the dome is in a loop. But the dome is dying. At some point n o humanity will exist outside the dome and the loop inside the dome will d ie out in ignorance and impotency. In the original book\, the rival to Log an 5 is a very old man kept young by cosmetic surgeries\, who takes logan and \"wife\" to a ship where humanity actually exists off earth. Thus\, Lo gan's run is really a test in the book to see who is truly ready to be fre e. \n\n\n\n https://ok.ru/video/1820870576820\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n 1977 The Island Dr. Moreau \n\n Dr Moreau himself \, a scientist who has place d himself far from human communities\, while he is trying to do better tha n nature\, with no thought to the community he creates. A lone human enter s his private space and automatically creates chaos. Dr Moreau at heart wa nts to make a super race\, a perfect race\, as if anything made by humans can be perfect. Dr Moreau made his own tomb on an island nailed by the bod ies of his inventions and didn't  realize it was an inevitable failure th at one drop of external human input destroyed. \n\n\n\n https://ok.ru/vid eo/250508675650\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n IN AMENDMENT\n\n 15 banne d hollywood films\n\n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr2Qn7G41xo\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n Freaks 1932\n\n It is a good film. Yes\, it is in sulting to midgets dwarves or various natural humans who do not have a com mon form. Yes\, it is a revenge film. But what is wrong in any of it? The truth is\, many humans do treat other humans as said midgets or others wer e treated in the film. Said treatment was and is not a lie. so\, again\, i t is insensitive\, but it isn't a lie and I find greater insult in the nee d for people to not see the truth in their negative actions. And also the truth in warranted revenge. Revenge is negative\, but it is not eternally unwarranted. Sometimes revenge is earned by the cruelty of those who are r evenged upon\, ala white Europeans have earned revenge by indigenous peopl es of the Americas\, the first peoples often called native americans.\n\n The funny thing about freaks is\, in film\, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein wh om in literature is of a beautiful human form\, is depicted as a \"freak\" while the creatures creator Frankenstein\, in literature a obsessive infa tuated egoist\, is treated as a scientist of good will who made a mistake.  \n\n\n\n https://archive.org/details/freaks-1932-colorized-movie-720p-hd \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n Island of Lost Souls 1932\n\n This film treats More au correctly. Moreau is a man of knowledge who has found him a place on ea rth where he can become god with his intellect. And of course\, as moreau is only human the inevitable fall from his attempt at godhood occurs. Agai n\, the white audience of that time\, which accepted\, the annihilation of black towns and experimenting on black people\, didn't like to see its ac tions. Denial. why should films support denial ? People in modernity say t hey want to escape when they watch films. but that isn't my desire when i see a film. I like my life\, i am merely peering into a world\, I don't wa nt to escape into it. The audience has been trained to want to escape beca use of the lies \, the banning of films like island of lost souls supports .\n\n The Sign of the Cross 1932\n\n Films about history are always in the situation of the sign of the cross. I grew up in a home where history was taught with one tenet in mind\, truth\, not desire or want or convenience or ease. Truth. when some or many black people today suggest they don't w ant to see slavery to whites in a film\, what are they really saying? they can't stomach the truth? or worse\, they rather ignore or blockade the tr uth of an unquestioned majority of black people\, ninety nine percent\, fo r the truth of an unquestioned minority of black people\, the one percent of black people living giddy or happy in some varying integration with whi tes. why? What pains black people today in the truth of the past? IS it th at black people today know that while they live in the light of what the o ld minority wanted\, they live in a way the old majority would had attacke d\, spit on\, burned with all their souls. \n\n When any populace in huma nity can't face the violence from their forebears or the misery their fore bears lived\, they are weak.\n\n\n\n https://ok.ru/video/746986867202\n\n\ n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n Scarface 1932\n\n Still the best scarface for me. His sister in this film is completely brilliant. The most potent thin g about scarface 1932 in comparison to the al pacino scarface is the histo rical honesty. Miami in the 1970s was never what scarface presented\, but the mob violence in new York city or Chicago was what Muni's scarface disp layed correctly. People in New York City talk about gang violence as if to day is some grandiose\, the greatest era of gang violence new York city ha d was mostly white Italian/irish/jewish and totally above control. But peo ple from whites to non whites suggest modernity is some parallel example.  It is a lie. I notice no one has ever showed the two scarfaces back to b ack \, at least in recent memory\n\n\n\n https://archive.org/details/scarf ace-1932_202109\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n Ecstacy 1933 \n\n I neve r saw this one\, but a young hedy lamar. Prelolita lolita:) The lolita boo k is 1955 and the lolita film 1962 by stanley Kubrick are decades after es tacy. \n\n\n\n https://ok.ru/video/3554222213830\n\n\n\n \n\n The Story o f Temple Drake 1933 \n\n From Faulkner sanctuary\, i never saw this one. This is the film that was used in the legal system for the censors. I need to view it. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Babyface 1933 \n\n Barbara Stanwyck can a ct. But beyond that\, Babyface is again\, truth. In modernity the real hou sewives show is a set of babyfaces? Bill gates and Jeff Bezos wives are ba byfaces. Women use the skill in the bed chamber and in intimacy with men t o get men to give to them and hope on a better ride if feasible. This is i ntimacy as a job\, which is very common today. Babyface was at a time when women didn't have the opportunities today\, to own a bank account or a ho use or even vote in a lot of scenarios. \n\n\n\n https://ok.ru/video/2837 08426915\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n Tarzan and his mate 1934\n\n his mate:) for me\, Tarzan which was written as a mythos in literature for white Europea n peoples enjoyment and ego against the black African or others in general \, merely continued its literary role in film. why ban it?\n\n Reefer madn ess 1936\n\n This movie is a lovely truth on how nazi Germany isn't the on ly country that made propaganda\, film for quick consumption while little thought\n\n Marijuana 1936\n\n Reefer madness part 2\n\n The Outlaw 1943\n \n This is one of the films targeted by the code\, and the director respon ded by buying into the media hype making it more scandalous than it was. T he problem with self righteousness in any art field is\, it is never warra nted. \n\n\n\n https://youtu.be/I7T0tfieOf0?si=ykqFAeKRqa4my-Zu\n\n\n\n \ n\n\n\n \n\n Mom and Dad 1945\n\n Nice idea\, separate showing for men and women. That is ahead of the curve\, still today \, making variants of fil ms for genders is not done or embraced. but i think it can be functional.\ n\n Song of the South 1946\n\n haha!:) zipity do daa\, ziptity yeah! reall y... ah boy\, where do I begin. I think Disney should show song of the sou th before black panther all the time. It shows how film firms work. The So ng of the south was to cater to the majority ticket buying audience which was mostly white and infatuated with happy negroes as underlings. Black Pa nther was to cater to a global audience where black ticket buyers have the money to carry a film on its own while non black ticket buyers are willin g to pay to see a ninety nine percent black cast film. The key is who can buy tickets not respect or truth.\n\n Never forget song of the south was a huge money maker for disney\n\n Lost Boundaries 1949\n\n After 1934 Imita tion of life with real life yella or mulatta\, who called herself black\, Fredi Washington\, and before Human stain 2003 or  Free State of Jones 20 16 or Passing 2021 there was Lost Boundaries. The funny thing about passin g is how many whites were and still are fearful of the claim against black ancestry. White people have killed against that claim.\n\n video\n\n http s://youtu.be/z26VL_0EQks?si=tM7ud-X_3ZQ9ffwq\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Boundaries ] \n\n The Moon is Blue 19 43\n\n Otto Primenger was great by putting the film forward absent the pro duction code's judgement.\n\n\n\n https://archive.org/details/MoonIsBlue\n \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n 1932 was a great year\, the last of top down independent cinema in the usa. \n\n\n\n more 1970s films\n\n htt ps://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2760&\;type=status \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251001 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
