Love, Death & Robots Notes

Love, Death & Robots Notes

 

Zima Blue 

·      Large murals with shapes of the same shade of light blue

·      The murals got bigger and bigger and he started to build planets with the same color

·      Zima Blue modified his body so much so he can live forever

·      He made a swimming pool, the same one that a woman used to test robots

·      The woman’s robot began to make its own decisions but was passed from owner to owner

·      That robot became Zima Blue

·      Zima Blue is the color of the tiles that was used in the original pool

·      He unmakes himself back to the original form of the first robot

·      Yves Klein Blue

·      Derek Jarman

 

Three Robots

·      The Siri robot is the funniest but her delivery is the worst

·      The other two robots have completely human voices but think more like the traditional resemblance of robots

·      Orifice? To talk about eating

·      Very cynical towards humans in this city full of human skeletons

·      A cat is still alive

·      They don’t know about cats however

·      The short takes place thousands of year before the presence

·      The cat talks, and there are many more cats

Part 2: Exit Strategies

·      The civilization reverted back to primal ways almost like the walking dead

·      The poor southerners wanted freedom from the government 

·      The rich and powerful created seasteads to try and recreate civilization

·      They blame tech millionaires, for being mean to robots and thus creating their uprising

·      Generals resorted to extreme democracy

·      The top 0.01% went on a spaceship to Mars while making a concentration camp for the rest

Beyond The Aquila Rift

·       Starts on a large spaceship, reminds me of the guardians of the galaxy ship

·       As the crew goes into this portal, they go into pods and are submerged in oxygen rich liquid

·       There is a system error and the captain is released. The ship is transported into a repair facility

·       Surge sickness when the ship is sent lightyears off course; will take weeks to fix

·       Thom and Greta reunite and fuck 

·       They left earth and are so far away he’ll never get back to the world he’s known, as hundreds of years in earth time has passed

·       The tanks preserve all aging

·       Suzy freaks out and gets stabbed with something that knocks her out

·       Greta says it’s a simulation and Thom is still in his tank

·       Aging is not preserved after all, or is it?

·       The shedar sector is completely engulfed in stranger things-esque parasite stuff

·       Cliffhanger ending that makes me question everything I just watched

The Dump

·      Mr. Dvorchek and Otto live in a dump

·      The main character is a city inspector

·      There is an entire community in here

·      His friend Pearly is caught with his pants down in a flashback

·      A trash monster consumes Pearly

·      Otto is the monster 

The Witness

·       Girl sees a murder but it looks like the victim is the same person

·       The witness is a stripper at a club full of gimps and the murderer comes to watch the performance

·       There is another chase on the rooftops

·       They have a physical altercation and he’s shot dead in the same exact spot as the beginning, but the roles are reversed

Automated Customer Service

·      Us in 50 years

·      VR tennis controls robots

·      Robots walk dogs and pick up poop

·      Sunset City looks like Phoenix 

·      Rectangle robot does numerous house chores; the vacuubot

·      Shaves the womans dog as well

·      Purge mode kills the fish 

·      Vacuubot went completely rogue

·      Every vacuubot model hunts her down

Pop Squad

·      Similar to Metropolis in how the city expands above the clouds

·      Investigating and evicting a family

·      Poor family in decrepit house

·      They kill the kids

·      The society is not letting any more kids in exchange to live forever

·      Alice is injected with a serum that gives her visions? Or its basically heroin “rejoo”

·      Everyone takes rejoo which makes them subscribe to the theory of kids are bad

·      But also I’m sure its what gets them to live forever

·      The dinosaur plush is a symbol for the kids; made by Ipswitch Collectables

·      Briggs eventually starts to see the appeal for children

·      He feels something in a society so in love with themselves they don’t have the capacity to care for anyone else

·      Everyone’s pupils is the same on the rejoo

Love, Death & Robots: Pop Squad Reaction

I really enjoyed watching all of the episodes in class of Love, Death & Robots, but the episode "Pop Squad" stuck out to me the most. Out of all of the episodes, I felt that this one contained and covered a variety of real issues that us as humans face now or could be certain to face in the future.  "Pop Squad" is set hundreds of years in the future where cities expand way above the clouds, and those that are alive have traded the ability to have children in exchange for eternity through a drug called Rejoo. The main job that the police, and one of the main characters Briggs has, is to arrest any "breeders" and kill any children they find. It is not explicitly stated, but can be implied that everyone in this society is supposed to take Rejoo regularly and only those that stop taking the drug are able to either physically have children, or are able to think more freely and less selfishly.  The basis of this episode really made me think about what the fu...

Final

Image
  The original sketch for the poster/PDF. We wanted overall unity for both of these elements of our project. Begining to put together our collage now that we printed photos from the movie. The collage mostly finished. We wanted the quote to stand out because not only is it a driving force of the theme for the movie, but it also relates for how this movie can show a relation to the future. We felt that white would not reflect our project the best. In terms of lighting, the movie is not bright and we wanted to relay that in our poster. By painting the rest of the poster black (thanks to Maddie) we could add splashes of color with white and orange, both of which are symbolic in the movie. We added cotton balls to reflect the fog that the aliens Abbott and Costello live in within their ship. It brings an ominous element that other countries in the movie don't embrace. When Dr. Louise Baker breaks down all barriers between human kind and the aliens, she is able to make the most progress...

About Me

Hi everyone, my name is Shane Petagna and I'm from Edison, NJ. My life revolves around sports, and it's definitely what I'd consider myself a geek about. No matter what time of the day, I'm probably watching, playing, or reading about sports. Most of the time I'm consuming baseball in some sort of fashion. I also enjoy working out as a way to clear my mind. My goal for a career is to work somewhere in the field of sports, whether on the journalism or business side.  I'd say I'm pretty excited about the class. Who can say no to watching movies all the time? I'm really excited to watch movies I've always wanted to watch, especially The Matrix and Interstellar. I do have some concerns about some of the assignments, only because I've struggled slightly with artistic projects in past school years before. I expect to watch plenty of great works of cinema and also to have deep discussions about the world around us and the concepts that affect our lives ...
