Surrogates is a fictional movie about robots and human interaction. It is played by Bruce Willis as the main actor of the movie. To give an overview about the movie; the robots replaced the real man. They are controlled by human being through the use of a device that commands the machine to do the things usually human does like partying, working, guarding, cooking and etc. The robots are called surrogates. The movie is emphasizing about synthesizing humanity. The technological advancement showed in the film is very amazing. The modified human hides the disability of a man through making a mere representation of a perfect person he wants to be. The movie shows how a man gains confidence by making himself as perfect as what the world perceives a perfect being, which is not a good thing because it’s living on the shadow of somebody else. It is one of the negative effects of having a world that is so empowered with technology – being too relying on its work thus human tends to forget his true self.
The surrogates’ faces were made perfectly flawless and beautiful which makes the woman’s beauty surreal and is more likely a living puppet – emotionless and pale. The true beauty of a woman is not solely shown on a flawless skin or perfect facial features instead it could be found also on her personality and even simple acts like smiling.
On the contrary, though living like a surrogate is living in lies, when there would come a time that there would be war, the surrogates would replace man’s role on the battlefield. No more lives will go to waste. When a surrogate would be destroyed during the war, it will be replaced there and then.
Understanding man’s obsession of perfectness becomes the reason of his weakness. The surrogate makes the body rotten and weakling and it also invalidate the significance of man’s existence and it is as well an act of disobeying the natural law and philosophy of human life. When this event may come to reality, it will make the world dull, emotionless and machine-dependent. People will care no more about self-improvement, social relationship and spiritual devotion because they felt that they had achieves their perception of being perfect. The perfectness and flawlessness which the machines give to the working life cycle blinded the man his true purpose of living and being a living creation. The machine becomes the man’s representation of him which is living in fraud. The man is totally looking to be perfect in all aspects but always forgets that the best thing in life is having shortcomings and overcome them than having none. Life would be boring and not worth living without someone to love, to care and to live with, it is so surreal as if merely manipulated.
The Fifth Element is the movie played by Bruce Willis and Mila Jovovich. This movie is about extermination of all life forms in Earth. The Fifth Element is the light or the savior of mankind is a girl who possesses the ultimate power to stop the extermination. The movie involves aliens- the good and the bad one. The movie’s relationship about future technology is somewhat beyond today’s discoveries. Alien’s nowadays is considered fictional because their existence is not yet proven. The special effects in end part is very superficial and beyond the truth. Sorcery powers are not a science based discoveries and teachings.
The mechanical machineries and high technology advancements supported in the movie is very good, I like the life reviving machine system the most. The reviving machine would be an amazing discovery if it is really exist. All lives can be restored as long as there’s a lived piece of living cell of your remains. The machine rapidly restructuring perfectly the bones, then body cells and body tissues, and make the organs and muscles, and the most breath-taking is restoring the life. Life restoring is like modern God way process of making man. This life reviving phenomenon is a mere fiction and impossible. Machines cannot regenerate cells through one’s remains. If this would happen in reality, man’s life never ending life or immortality is achieved at last (just if ever). If this will be proven it will destroy the natural world balance and all living forms will become an experimental avenue of man’s greatest discovery. When equilibrium is lost catastrophe will prevail. Significance of one’s life will be no more.
Another mind-boggling technology featured in the movie is the flying car. The sky becomes the super highways of the world. While it is really wonderful of having a flying car, well I know it is near possible because of the air vehicle concept.
All these things is created because of man’s ultimate ambition of having a never-ending life that is impossible because the life that is lost will cannot be restored nor created.
The people created marvelous spaceship, fantastic flying cars and greatly amazing airplanes that flying from planet-to-planet tour.
Comparing both movies it simply tells that technological advancement is aiming towards this fictional world. Both movies show the people interest of to having a perfect life and perfect world. People continually search and discovery things to achieve this high tech life which is Impossible for now but we don’t know, this might or not be happened no one can tell.
