Her (2013) Movie Review

Whenever we think about Artificial Intelligence (AI), we immediately think about films such as Terminator or The Matrix, where technology ultimately decides to kill all humans, or something equally extreme. However, in the film Her, Spike Jonze depicts a more benevolent relationship between humans and AI. Through a love story about a human and an operating system, this film not only examines how an artificially intelligent operating system would change our personal lives, but it also looks at the effects technology has on society as a whole.

Philadelphia Film Review

(This is a review that I wrote for the film class I was talking about. I hope you like it)

Philadelphia (1993)

Main cast: Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington

Director: Jonathan Demme

Synopsis: When a man with AIDS is fired by his law firm because of his condition, he hires a homophobic small time lawyer as the only willing advocate for a wrongful dismissal suit.

Review:

Philadelphia was released during a time when AIDS was rampant and misunderstood. In 1993, the year the film was released, there were 14 million documented people with the HIV virus, and 2.5 million people worldwide diagnosed with AIDS. Because people didn’t understand the disease, people with AIDS were stigmatized, and faced a lot of discrimination, especially homosexuals. Many people believed that only homosexuals could contract this deadly virus, and even thought of it to be penance for their decision to participate in homosexual activity. Philadelphia not only helped clear up the stigmas surrounding the virus, but it also allowed people to put a face to the disease.
