Blade Runner Quote

    "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." To many this quote symbolizes how when we die everything we know and everything we are drifts away into nothing. All the memories we hold dear and true wash away with the rain and are forgotten. For me, I do not believe this is true. I believe others hold our memories with them and we continue to live through those still alive. I lost my brother not long ago and one of the importants things he taught me was to make memories. By making memories with other people you are truly living and will not be forgotten. By making memories you are experiencing the world and doing things worth remembering. By making memories with others you will forever live with them even long after you have passed. My brother continues to live with me through the memories we have made together. Just because he is gone does not mean all the memories I have with him are gone too. Even after I have passed he will continue to live on through the stories I tell the my friends and children just like I will continue to live through them. Roy will continue to live through Deckard and his ideas will be present in all of Deckard's memories. Just because we die does not mean we all forgotten and washed away in the rain. We continue to live and are always remembered by those who love us.

Love, Death, and Robots

The Love, Death, + Robots episode I liked the most was Zima Blue . The reason I liked this episode so much was because of the symbolism of simplicity. Zima's murals start out as these complex art works of space. He then adds a blue square in the center of the art. This simple square is surrounded by complex space but the square is the one thing which stands out most to the people. As Zima gets more famous and starts to explore the cosmos his art becomes more and more of the simple blue square. He allows the simplicity of the color "Zima Blue" to take over his art. In the end Zima is a complex robot who has explored all the universe has to offer. After becoming the most complex organism, Zima decided to go back to his most simple form for his final piece of art. He has learned the simplicity of life is much more valuable than the most complex form. Instead of being a robot that is basically indestructible and can do all sorts of things, Zima decided to become a simple rob...

Hon 255 Final Thoughts

 I have really enjoyed this class. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me think about all different sorts of things. I got to see the perspective of all different types of majors and personalities which to me is the most important thing when learning. Being able to compare my major to topics that had nothing to do with my major taught me so many different things. I was able to see how my major impacted different aspects of life and how movies impacted my major. Approaching the topic of AI and futuristic technology was difficult at times but always interesting. I'm excited to see how I use this class in the future and to see where our future technology actually goes after watching all these movies.

Final Project

 The movie we chose for our final project was WALL-E. As a group we want to explore the possibilities of the plot of WALL-E becoming our future. With the way climate change and garbage is piling up our future could very easily be the same plot. There are also a lot more advancements in artificial intelligence that could lead to more lazy humans and more reliability on AI. We wanted to add a 3D aspect to our poster to make it stick out. We also added the plant surrounded by garbage to show how there is still hope for our future. Just like in the movie, finding the plant brings hope to the humans that they will be able to live on earth once again. WALL-E really shows how even if we have a good life in space, nothing can beat walking around on earth and breathing fresh air.
