S1m0ne

I just finished watching S1m0ne and it was really funny to me. The audacity of some of the things that were pulled off in this movie is scary. How Viktor Taransky was able to deceive the whole world scares me. Especially the stadium scene where he gave everyone the illusion that there was someone in the stadium singing when it was actually some computer software. I am really scared if it is possible to do something like this in the future. Only God knows if this isn't even being done now in a different form and we have all been dealt some lie that we have all eaten up.

Anyway, let me move from the somber, thought-provoking parts of the movie to the fun parts. The binary numbers seen in the name were cool. You know the 1 and 0 in the name that transformed it from "Simone" to "S1m0ne". One of the first things that made me watch the movie in the first place on TNT. I was curious. Who names a movie like that? And I saw that Al Pacino was in it. So I was hooked.

Another thing from the movie: I am scared of having an eye tumor so I am going to stay away from my computer for a while before I start work. Seriously. Read some of those books I have been meaning to read for a while.

Near the end, when he was trying to kill her character off a few intriguing things happened:
  • He pulled a movie that was supposed to tank named "I am pig", people still hailed the movie.
  • She went on national TV and virtually supported every vice that existed in the world, yet she was named Time's person of the year because she was a celebrity who spoke her mind.
Anyway, I am going to bed. What I just wrote here probably didn't tell you enough about the movie or make any sense. You can check it out on IMDB or Wikipedia. And you should watch it if it's showing on TV or you are looking to add to your Netflix or Blockbuster queue.
