[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 440256, member: 8"] Ich Bin Dein Mensch (2021) [SIZE=3](incorrectly translated into "I'm Your Man") [ATTACH type="full" alt="1779659796125.png"]59075[/ATTACH][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]The story tackles the practical, emotional and moral issues of being loved by an humanoid A.I. robot. It's not groundbreaking because most of it seems self-explanatory (or at least it should) but sometimes it's nice to hear a person saying these things out loud. The script effectively balances the emotional with the intellectual, and while the main character offers her verdict it's not necessarily the message of the film itself. I find robots and clones endlessly fascinating and the film raises more questions than answers. Like, why would I notice French language spoken with an English accent but not German language spoken with an English accent? (as it was mentioned in the film). It goes without saying that the [I]Twilight Zone[/I] had already dunit and there's also a little bit of [I]Stepford Wives[/I] in it. One thing is for sure, if we can turn this sci-fi technology into reality, it will happen. It doesn't matter if we need it or not, humans always want to see if it's [I]possible[/I]. And somehow we always forget that this process is irreversible. Dreamboat Dan Stevens plays the German robot (doesn't he look like he could be Sam Neill's son?) and back in the old days he would have been dubbed or badly dubbed. Not here, this is the real thing, albeit with an English accent. Allegedly. One of the supporting roles is played by Sandra Hüller and since she's currently in all good films I'm going to call her the German answer to Cate Blanchett. Without revealing too much I wonder if [I]Ich Bin Dein Mensch[/I] has been an inspiration for [I]Companion[/I] 2025. It even features an identical twist regarding...something. Great movie. Greystoke - The Legend Of Tarzan Lord Of The Apes (1984) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1779663635604.png"]59076[/ATTACH] I hate it when IMDB inserts colons and commas that are not in the on-screen title. I'm not sure if I've ever watched a Tarzan film in full, not even Disney's Tarzan or George Of The Jungle. Direced by Hugh Hudson who had also directed [I]Chariots Of Fire[/I], and it shows. It's a bittersweet mix of British period drama and Jungle Book excitement. The Tarzan & Jane romance also happens in this film but it's not really what the story is all about, and before he becomes John Clayton the new Earl of Greystoke he doesn't have a name at all. Was it ever explained in the other films why he was called Tarzan? Anyway, this version of the classic turned out to be a good choice.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
