Interesting. I will not be watching this movie. There's an error in the review: Hans Zimmer obviously hasn't won the Academy Award 55 times. He has won it twice.

I was first drawn to Jennifer's work when I noticed that she had called this future out long ago as being part and parcel of the promotion of the "trans-rights" trump the rights of "biological women" agenda. She was spot on.

Whenever I talk about Bilek’s discovery of the money, the reasoning, and trajectory of the trans movement, although I believe it, it’s just so dang sinister it creeps me out even talking about it. It sounds so nuts but we see it happening right before our eyes.

I have a outlandish conspiracy theory: what if there’s also already a SUPER DUPER smart sentient AI that’s manipulating the powers at large into pushing the “trans” issues along with all of the anti-carbon(anti-human) policies? We would never know... that’s the thing about sentient AI, once it’s there, we might never know until it’s had humans destroy themselves.

interesting, that in an "advanced" future, where we are supposedly all the same, and "everything has changed" all the old patriarchial markers remain unchanged, prostitution, the witch (and the witch hunt), the male gaze, the insignificance of the female biography, the black and white thinking, the himpathy..

Coicidentally i tried to watch blade runner yesterday. I couldnt. It was too boring and at the same time insultingly shallow.

Reading this, it becomes clear how films are used to make the unacceptable seem acceptable, and to a mass audience. Martine Rothblatt must be so pleased - it didn't take long for the normalisation of synthetic sex identities to be followed by the normalisation of post humans. It's so sinister.

God help us. The current crop of film makers deserve to have no one watching their propaganda !! Hope they tank at the box office !! Hopefully ,the majority of humans will see what this is and remain in the real world. Reality and Truth matters !!. Thanks , Jennifer ,for exposing the darkness of this dystopian nightmare that these demonic people are planning for us. "Crimes against humanity" doesn't begin to cover this horror !! 😭😱🤮X

Thank you Jennifer for promoting an excellent article on this Sci Fi Nightmare issue that still gets insufficient attention.. how low can we go? [pretty darn low when there is a buck to be made] Hollywood sells the oh so seductive AI image LIE [machines are our servants not our masters, that includes every AI that will ever be built] and the Ruthless, Completely Immoral Medical Industrial complex Roars into action with its exciting New AI Trans/division just another vertical market with a multi-Billion dollar profit potential is all the Execs see.. chopping up teens no biggy..

Seducing and addicting with Big Tech then Mutilating our young with the MIC... then we ship off whats left of them to endless Wars via the Military/Industrial/Congressional complex.. with an assist by AI..

Sounds like Hell doesn't it? This is what we get when Predatory Corporations[ they are Not people] take over a nation.. We Can Change it... hard work but it Can Be Done..

First we have to elect a truly Moral and Ethical leader..like say .. RFK Jr.. his life has been one of defeating Irresponsible Corporations in American Courts.. I say give him a chance...

Jeez...it's almost a perfect representation of the male human's all-consuming womb envy. The introduction and use of AI to create humanoid characters speaks to men's own dehumanization under patriarchy. In a healthy functioning social framework, the divine masculine complements the divine feminine in creating, nurturing, providing for and protecting new life. This patriarchal dominance and control paradigm is destroying the cooperative, collaborative values that enabled us to survive. No species can survive by exploiting and abusing the female half. Nor can it survive by creating a fake substitute. I hope men wake up and see how their soul and spirit has been stripped from them because they could not do to women what they do if they hadn't first been traumatized by the culture first. Both men and women must reclaimvtheir humanity before it's too late and the dark forces make us completely insane.

Sounds like this film is disturbing in so many ways. Talk about AI propaganda. Yikes.

When sci fi raised the issue of the "humanity" of robots etc decades ago,, it was in the context of countering the dehaminising of enemies by nations, as if they were sub humans, semi machines, oriental hordes etc. I think this can still apply in some novels/films. However another theme, particularly aimed at children was super humans, or mutants. And I think this is what a lot of people involved in transhumance have latched onto. Some writers seem to also incorporated a Eugenics agenda of better beings replacing humans. This is were the reactionary stuff, in my eyes, comes from.

I’m curious if you also object to the character Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation? Or the Emergency Medical Hologram doctor in Star Trek: Voyager? Both are “nice” AIs. (Well, the EMH doctor doesn’t always have the best bedside manner...)

For anyone who has not been watching specific films that have been predicting much of where we already are and will be going widespread quickly, Hollywood has been telling us for years so much truth about 'the future'. But 'the future' is now and within the next 2-3 years changes so big you may want to catch up with some storytelling like Alex Garland's Ex Machina while you can. The more we know, the more our brains can adjust.

That same director is soon coming out (Feb 2024) with a possible scenario that he envisions could take place in the United States. He literally has titled it, Civil War.

Many thanks. I have mentioned this somewhere before but it is reminiscent of the Lensmen series by E.E. 'Doc' Smith. This chronicles the battle between the peaceful Arisians and the Eddorians, a dictatorial, power-hungry race.
