Re: (313) Techno Films

[James_Bucknell]

2001 is the best of all techno flims - because it says that humans
spiritual advancement comes through technology, that we achieve our
ultimate and highest form through technology.
it doesn't say that technology is all good, or that is can't be misused,
but ultimately, technology has been at the heart of every major human
advancement, and that it technology that brings us to realise the fulness
of selves

most sci-fi films portray technology as that which alientates, enslaves,
debases or degrades humanity. and that the human nature is saved by
prevailing or overcoming technology. robocop, terminator etc.

So many manga films look techno, but it sh1ts me to tears that the
majority of them have metal soundtracks. What the hells with that?!?
