Sleeper
While I found the movie quite humorous I found the subject rather disturbing. The idea of going in for a routine surgery and waking 200 hundred years later and your life has changed. The future is very unpredictable, but I sincerely hope that it does not turn in what we saw in this movie. I idea of not having relationships and being less and less depended on human relationship is shocking. All humans need other people to be there for them, someone they can connect with. It helps people to grow into individuals and express our emotions. We will lessen our quality of life if our future looks anything like the future in this movie.

While this movie was very funny, it does kind of make you wonder if the future for us or our kids is really going to be like that. It just seemed like the futuristic characters in the movie werent very happy with life. Family and relationships with others dont seem to be a very important. I feel that a world that technology evolved and dependent seems hundreds of years away but on the other it seems like it is becoming more and more like that every day!
The movie was very different and really got me thinking, what if this kind of stuff is really what the world is going to be like hundreds of years down the road. I do not like to idea of robots doing the normal every day activites that many people take for granted. I agree when Caroline said that the characters do not seem happy. if the world is going to be dominated by robots in the future, i'm afraid it will take away some of the happines the small things in life bring people.
The movie was clearly unique and dfferent. It makes you think of what we are going to be like in fifty years. Will we become so dependent on mechines doing our work that we are too lazy to do anything? The rate at which we are moving it might not be to far fetched. We are depending on more and more technology to make our lives easier but what are we doing to ourselves?
I agree that the movie was pretty funny, however, it showed how society dumbs down because of technology. In the movie, the robots do everything the human would normally do in todays society. With the robots doing everything it makes humans "dumber" in education and in common sense. It seemed like all the education that the humans had were only for sexual reasons.
The characters definitely weren’t happy. At one point the girl burst into tears and wasn’t even sure herself why she was crying. Her poem being wrong certainly provoked the emotion, but it was exacerbated by an underlying factor to such a severe magnitude that she started crying. She couldn’t say nor probably even understand this factor, but it definitely had something to do with the emptiness and meaninglessness of her life. The funny thing is that their governmental leader waving to them seemed to cheer her up, but I’ll bet that they only ever shot that bit once and have been replaying the same one over and over again. Not to mention that I’m pretty sure it had been pitch black outside of the girl’s house when that part played and in the scene the sun hadn’t even finished setting yet.
I thought the movie Sleeper was very funny in a weird way. Woody Allen was perfect for the role as the main character. It would be terrible to go to the hospital and wake up in the future. The people encountered in the future do have a terrible nature of not wanting relationships. They use technology to simply satisfy physical drives and drive away the emotional one. The future in the movie would be boring if you ask me because there are no risk or passion in anything anyone does, besides trying to capture Mr. Allen. I really hope our society never comes to this.
this movie felt real far fitch to me when I first saw it... but then later that day I was talking to a girl who couldn’t saw the word animal she said annitmal... and she also couldn’t say something else but I cant think of it right now... so I thought about it and I realize that the further advance we get in our society it seems like we forget something in return... just like the focal point we talk about in class...
Back in ancient times they knew how to farm make weapons and herd animals. 200 years ago people built there own house out of logs. I have no idea how to do those things and that how we as a human race live for over 4000 years.
The reason being is we don’t need to know those things. we are in a globe village where we can get anything we want in a matter of days if we wanted to... we don’t care how things work we only care if they work!!!
