The East

Former FBI agent Sarah Moss now works for a private intelligence agency that protects the interests of powerful businessmen. She is tasked with infiltrating The East, a mysterious eco-terrorist group that attacks multinationals guilty of covering up their criminal actions. Determined, ultra trained, Sarah manages to integrate into the group despite their mistrust, and must even participate in their next action. But the more she lives with the passionate members of The East, in particular Benji, the anarchist, the more she feels torn between the two worlds and questions herself ...

In the Science fiction family ...

I had a nice surprise with Oblivion the last Tom Cruise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH1su3FVEA4

The senario is really changing blockbuster where only the special effects count ...

A little pumped back on "Moon" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twuScTcDP_Q (Little known) ... thin I unveiled part of the plot for those who know Moon ...

Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski gave a nice nod to 2001's Space Odyssey.
He also directed TRON the legacy (very beautiful visually) or again elements were taken from the Kubrick film.

It's true that there are similarities, the TED, immediately reminded me of the monolith and 2001 HAL ...

Even at the production level, explained in the making off, some sets have been projected (as Kubrick had done) and not by using a green background ... with all the visual advantages that this implies (reverberation on other objects ) ... This is why some scenes of the house "in the clouds" are so beautiful!

For TRON 2, I have not seen, but the reviews are not good it seems to me ... (scenario?)

It's true that there are similarities, the TED, immediately reminded me of the monolith and 2001 HAL ...

It is TET (diminutive of tetrahedron) and it is indeed an element very close to the monolith of 2001 (supercomputer ET).
In addition, the initial human space mission was heading towards the TET that was located near Jupiter, like the last monolith in Kubrick's 2001!
In this time 2001's book the Space Odyssey Arthur c clarke , the monolith is located on Saturn's satellite: Iapetus, why such a change?

For information NASA provides in the coming century an inhabited mission to Jupiter ...

For TRON 2, I have not seen, but the reviews are not good it seems to me ... (scenario?)

Visually beautiful but quite hollow in the scenario, but do not ask too much it's Disney!

Some movies to change the world ...

By the way, I've just seen the movie Oblivion, and I found that beyond a simple science fiction film hides (like 2001) a hidden message ... did you catch it?

[Christophe]

Very good Oblivion! Uh for the message? There are certainly several ... give us some clues?

In the same temper: Interstellar to see at the cinema at the moment: https://www.econologie.com/forums/interstell ... 13535.html

Oblivion presents in allegorical form the functioning of our contemporary society ...
A clue: what does Jack and Victoria do?

[Christophe]

Easy: to keep the "system" in place ...

Easy: to keep the "system" in place ...

Indeed, but I develop.
Jack and Victoria represent the contemporary couple, that is, he represents more a team than a real couple.
They do not really like each other, they fuck together that's all ...
As Sally (the virtual team leader) points out they are a "effective team".
The station they live in represents a sort of consumerist paradise: a huge loft equipped with the ultimate technology perched in the clouds (symbolic dream).

Their "job": to destroy the planet by being convinced that it is the best thing to do.
Yet neither Victoria nor Jack are bad people, they do their job, quite simply.
On whose behalf? The TET, symbolized by the inverted pyramid.
The TET is very representative of the system, because even though it communicates via virtual characters (Sally) it is in fact a fully technological entity feeding on the destruction of life.
At the end of the film The TET declares to Jack that he is his new "God" ...

J.Kosinski put forward in his film the same message in filigree as Kubrick in 2001: the danger of technologism.
