Week 13 Response to Movie “Code 46”

This is an interesting film. Michael Winterbottom creates a highly polarized future where bustles with metropolitan emptiness, requiring papelles of similar credentials to move from city to city. And people who want to get papelles need a rigorous review. It mercilessly limits the possible activity for all. The future is a controllable future, and the city is a big company. The outside world is a desert, primitive people, and shabby housing. “Where people do not live, they survive.”

The same marriage in a childbearing relationship and the fictional nature of the movie extends the question infinitely. It is considered illegal when you have a relationship with a person who has the same gene with you, which will be forced to delete memory about her. And also in your body will inject a virus against her body, that is, your body will oppose contact with her. So the actress asked the actor to tie her to the bed, to meet the desire of both sides. A person even has no right to control their own body.

These concepts let me think about future AI world. That is our actions, everyday life would be surveillance under some other people or companies. These technologies really give us convenient. But in some aspects, the surveillance will like the prison for each individual. Since everyone has their own identity for shopping or activities. If these AI technologies learn our actions and give feedback to us all the time. We will actually live in a prison where create by our own characterizes.
