@nihilistic7840 Жыл бұрын

I'm fed up with it. All these half arsed artificial pseudo philosophies. And most of them have been done to death. If the story had other elements that are primary to hold interest and the pseudo theory could even be leveraged to add to the story it can work but if the entire film is just a presentation of a miniscule idea that hasn't even been developed it drops to the floor with a thud. What's further ridiculous to this scene is that it's the mental backup, supposedly taken to protect against failure to remove the tumor, that actually kills him. Hopelessly contradictory. No actual story. Just a half arsed germ of a concept someone had down the pub one day and never developed it further.

@@nihilistic7840 The mental backup is not a safeguard against failure of the procedure, it IS the procedure. And the question posed is: What is a human being? Is it an individual with intrinsic value to himself and others by virtue of his consciousness and experience and all the little unique bits and bobs and imperfections, or is it a cog in the machine, whose value depends on it usefulness and the functions it can perform? If the first, this was murder, if the second, he was saved. Forever and a day. But since it is both, this is at best a huge ethical dilemma. It is easy to see why you would want to preserve the mind of a genius, for the sake of his problem solving skills. And if he had a "brain tumor the size of an apple", copying it over into a clone was maybe the only way. His attempts at thwarting the process and the nurse's reluctance and grief illustrates the individualistic angle. If all he was, was his usefulness, he would rather die. Kind of like the people who refuse to let their organs be transplanted after they die, perhaps?

This story is a solid existential crisis for modern audiences, and it reminds me of a Twilight Zone/Outer Limits episode where they proclaimed they'd invented teleportation to allow instant travel between worlds/stars, but in fact all they'd done is clone people at their destination while executing the original body to prevent doubles.

I would like to see a behind the scenes look at how he was brought into this project and any comments he has to share. This was a really big deal and a great surprise! It just seems there should be a little more in the making to top it off. That said, this was a great film. The director and cast did an excellent job in bringing the characters to life and making the story believable. Set design, tech, lighting, special effects, camera angles.

Very good. The story was concise and thought-provoking--like SF from 50 or 70 years ago. It asks questions (without actually asking them) that make us think about the limits of technology and our place in the universe. I miss stories like this. The acting was, obviously, of high calibre. The cinematography caught my attention, without taking me out of the story. I appreciate how it starts out with wider shots as we're introduced to the situation, and then slowly tightens in as the story becomes more personal--eventually being all close-ups of the 3 characters as they deal with the situation... only to pull back as the doctor returns to being clinical. Kudos to all involved.

The man. He was such a great actor. “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe,” Roy says. “Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

While i agree with everyone else that it was great to see RH again, his superbly done, steady performance was not the only star in this sky... DeObia Oparei delivered a tremendously well performed and powerful character that tugged at the heart and soul remarkably hard in such a short presentation. I hope we can see more of DeObia in future productions that can showcase his talents as well.

There's a thing called patient consent and preparation but I guess this area of space doesn't fall under that jurisdiction. :) I was expecting Hauer to start singing about "Pattern".

_Bladerunner,_ _The Hitcher,_ _Sin City,_ to name but a few, all elevated by the presence of Rutger. Even the low budget films would likely have never come to light, if it hadn't been for his consummate acting skill. This, however, wasn't just him alone holding the film together. Three superb actors giving stunning performances made this a compelling watch. Kudos to everyone, not just the cast, involved in bringing this to the screen and RIP Mr Hauer! Thanks for uploading.

For many reasons (seeing Rutger Hauer in what was very likely one of his very last roles, the actor portraying the dying man and the emotions he shows), this film made me cry. It's a superb and very sad short film.

The concept behind this short is very intriguing and really deserves to be told in a full length production. These "shorts" are more like a movie trailer where you get just enough to get you hooked. Then unfortunately, "that's all folks"!

@efrankphd Жыл бұрын

@@chuckthebull One thing that I would have liked to know was whether or not the clone was alive but I'm thinking that it is/was. I suppose it's brain could be controlling all of it's body functions still but without a soul or like the Doctor said, "we're all memories professor,, that's our soul". So one could say that our body is just a vessel for our soul. But Mr. Freeman is questioning the fact that would it still be me if my soul was put into a different body. At least Mr. Freeman had an exact copy of himself rather than some other body LOL This is what I mean, I need more information :)

I was thinking shouldn't Mr. Freeman's proper title be Doctor, and be addressed as Dr. Freeman? A Physics Professor would have a PhD.

@stevenscott2136 Жыл бұрын

Rutger probably thinks of "doctor" as a job description (his own and his colleagues'), and if Freeman has earned the title "professor", it's perfectly appropriate to use it, especially if it avoids confusion. In the Navy, a Marine Corps captain riding on a ship will often be called "major" by the crew, as Navy tradition says there's only one captain on a ship.
