Gauge Octopus Earring

Hitchcock inspiration?

evidence giving rise to a certain suggestion of path lights are immersed in the twilight, dangling and far. In pictures: North by Northwest of 1959 (eng - North by Northwest), Alien3 of 1992 (the planet Fiorina 161), Otto e mezzo Federico Fellini (1963).
Also in Hitchcock's films, there are elements I find in Koyaanisqatsi (directed by Godfrey Reggio - 1982):
music - the ' overture in the North of Nortwest Bernerd Hermann has similarities with the music more' dogged by Philip Glass, author of the soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi .
shooting : nell'overture of the Hitchcock film, elements such as the skyscraper, the reflection on the windows of the buildings and city traffic are often present in the film Reggio. The scenes of Reggio, sped masterfully synthesize the appearance of mechanical and degrading life in the big city. Always nell'overture Hitchcock, the crowd that goes in and out of buildings resembles that in Koyaanisqatsi, Reggio although there is an intentional frenzy of moving subjects, shooting from a distance make people faint, tiny robots. In this regard, I suggest reading the book by Luigi Zoja: The death of the next , Video of the Luigi Zoja (Comune di Firenze) .

Little Flower - Grace Patricia Kelly

Little Flower, you're a lucky one
you to soak in the lovely sun
you stand and watch it
to go by and never bat an eye do oz
while others Have to fight and strain
Against The World and Its Every pain of living.
But you must, too, Have
wars to fight the cold bleak darkness of night Every
of a bigger vine who
Seeks to grow and is Able to stand the rain and snow
and yet you never let it show on your pretty
face
Written by Grace P. Kelly was a child.
would translate poetry as well:
Little Flower, you're a lucky
all surrounded by beautiful sunshine
stand there and watch things happen and never once

flinch while others have to struggle and toil
against the world and worth of every life.

But you have to fight your
wars, the cold bleak darkness of every night
a larger screw
that tries to grow and is able to withstand rain and snow
yet you've never left
shine on your pretty face. About the Grace
: video interview with the philosopher Martin Rossi Monti on the theme of his book Heaven on earth. Grace between theology and aesthetics.
Topics include: the three meanings of Grace means, in relation to God, referring to something beautiful and attractive, indicating a beneficial act or an amnesty. Grace as quiet sweetness, the antithesis of stress, does not close as the proud beauty, who is touched resume itself the object that touches him (he was nice), grace is the circularity of movement, asks you to reactivate, transforms the other.

Hal 9000, Rachael and empathy


This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
This mission is too important to me, so you can put at risk.


a kind of Turing Test Rachael, a replicant in Blade Runner (say gynoid?), Concerns about his level of empathy (sharing mood) observing the dilation of his pupils as response to questions reprehensible.
In the two films is that the absence of an emotion also stirred the imagination (in Rachael) is only one element in discriminating between robot and person.
But a less sci-fi of the current port automata
Isaac Asimov so to speak: The inhumanity of the computer is that, once programmed and put into operation, behaves perfettamete honest. Curiosity
