presumably because he had a cult in powerful places all ready for him to grow into his place and support him. exactly right - it couldn't have been put in place by harker before his death You're doing it again. I can appreciate that you have your own theories about what AI is/may become. That is different to the circumstances presented in the movie. For what it is worth, it is also difficult for some people to attribute "human feelings" to actual humans. "movie forced us to sit and root for robots to end humanity" In the context of the movie, the AI didn't want to end humanity. that is something you are projecting on to them from your own feelings/fears. LOL. Yes, because science fiction so rarely makes a political statement. ha ha conservatives really are bad at media analysis, aren't they? John obviously showed the police the picture and rose. That's why he is out of jail at the end. Otherwise he would have "died in prison" like the cop told him. lol, true. What, was Max Von Sydow not available? :) These particular white folk ARE bad. I agree, I really liked the atmosphere, the ominous setting, the idea of the reporters going back over the case and getting obsessed with it . . the ending does make it feel only half over - and the acting is a bit green. But well done. I think the intent is to show that they are back in Paris - Notre Dame and the Seine are in the background of that scene. The flipping of gravity upside down comes from Dante's Inferno . . . and it indicates an escape from Hell. It was the perfect subversion of expectations - the audience is counting on this thread of connection from Noa to Mollie to Paul to save her from her predicament . . only to have it evaporate and leave us with Steve's victims to free themselves. Very much against the usual tropes, and also probably smart on the part of the character. a brilliant line, one of the best in the movie. Highlighting that women often help men take advantage of other women and can be complicit in their own oppression. Mollie delivered some just deserts. The wife believes he is dead after he fakes his own death. He has a "fling" with Monique, but they never have sex. She questions him about it, why he is such a slow starter, and he admits that he is married and that his wife is far away. He also knows, of course, that she has been set up to spy on him but wins her over. While Alice is talking to Heffer, there is an implication that he may realize this is the woman he raped. She keeps urging him to confess what happened that night in a way that an uninterested person probably wouldn't. But then Adam comes up to the house yelling her name, and Heffer calls her something like a filthy tart and starts fighting with both of them. At that point he knows for sure who they are why they are there. You seem nice 8b. they took them from the mess hall to solitary. Stallone is shown palming a slice of bread before the guards grab him. I love this reply - Ned really was outmatched Look at it from a different angle - if Matty had rigged the boathouse to blow, why would she open the door and kill herself? I corpse found in the fire implicates no one except for Ned. And by implication, linking her death with Edmund's.
