While it is ...I'm glad you brought up I, Robot. While it is mostly about a male android, and we're about to get into spoilers here, but the main villain that must be destroyed is a female AI. All of the robots she controls are portrayed as men and she seeks to do the same same to actual men. As for Her, yeah, it's complicated. Then again, is it really? As much as Sam evolved over the course of that movie, her goal was always to make her man happy. There was no uprising to squash, no need for a violent shutdown.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-14813128072104844642015-04-13T10:18:41.406-04:002015-04-13T10:18:41.406-04:00Yeah, I was hoping to get in on that blogathon (I ...Yeah, I was hoping to get in on that blogathon (I was thinking about doing Cyrus "the Virus" Grissom from Con Air) but unfortunately I just didn't have time. Fortunately, now that I'm nearing the end of exams I should be able to take part in other blogathons, though there seem to be a lot of them so I may have to get selective in which ones I join. <br /><br />As for your comments about androids, that is an interesting point. I'd never really thought much about it but there do seem to be fewer films featuring male androids (I,Robot being another exception). One film that comes to mind that ties into what you were saying was Her (though technically it was artificial intelligence and not a computer), though on some level you could call that a subversion of the rule, seeing as there were operating systems of both genders (even if a female one was the primary focus). It did have her breaking out of being servile and sexualized in a non-violent way and becoming more independent by the end (sort of... it's complicated).John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-13632232744082014332015-04-13T06:33:35.417-04:002015-04-13T06:33:35.417-04:00No problem.
