Popular Cultures






This film is another utopian case of technology. Two people can communicate through magic bags! They can even exchange objects!  But the magic does not last much since one of bags is torn.  Somehow the characters manage to meet each other at the end of the story.  Although the bag was torn, they overcame that barrier.  Technology did not domain over them.



 
This film was a bit noisy for me.  There were combinations of sounds of nature and technology.  Who copies whom? I think that the idea of technology here was the man's willingness to imitate nature, in this case the birds.  They can fly; oversea all what is happening from the sky.  The man has to create machines to try to feel the same experiences. For me was interesting the part where the bird takes a piece of cable for his nest. For him it was a tool for his nest, for humans it was the way to get connected and work.  No cables, no work!

 
This film was the scariest of all since it was to see a society growing in 'technology' that looks more like trash.  
--> The old creation is followed by a new technology.  The environment was just polluted, dark.  There is only one shot of a man that is just controlled by technology.  The similarity with Benito is that every old technology becomes trash.  It is all piled.  But to see floating trash is not appealing at all. It is really scary! In both cases there is technological determinism. -->
