ArS Artificial Stupidity
Didn't feel so sad in the evening, probably just 'cos I had less quiet time with thoughts whirring round my head. Played a bit more FFX, drove (at night!) to the shops to get a few bits, made dinner, then we watched AI Artificial Intelligence which happened to be on TV. I enjoyed the movie (as usual) although I had the sudden and perhaps obvious insight that the things at the end aren't some weird alien archaeologists as I'd previously thought, but super evolved robots. That's why they think humans hold the key to creation and why they're prepared to go to such great lengths to make David happy (although there is also the side issue of wanting to know what humans were like). Anyway, I enjoyed it perhaps more this time than I ever have before, although I still wonder what exactly the movie is trying to say to me. Maybe it's not saying anything, maybe it's just a movie, but there seems to be some sort of underlying message there striving to get out. Whether it's that hope is what makes us human, or that we should appreciate each day, or something equally trite I don't know, 'cos I also get undertones of hope being a quintessentially human delusion and the emptiness of existence. But like I say, maybe it's just a movie.
