The movie starts with the killing of civilians by accident as part of the war on terror, perpetuating the myth that more civilians are killed that terrorists and that the US military is reckless.
The plot is about a government super computer that was built to spy on everyone. The plot perpetuates the myth that the Bushes Patriot act is a bad thing, and things will go awry in the future when the big brother knows above and beyond just what library books we check out.
The rouge computer knowing of everything has the ability to calculate objects to fall on anybody anywhere, to kill, it can ring anybodies cell phone, know where they are to give messages to somebody else, anywhere, in time, just in time. It does this by watching everyone in the US through surveillance cameras anywhere they may be, and keeping track of all 300 million US citizens whereabouts.
(We don’t even know today in 2008 where the 30 million illegal Alain’s are now, or where the president of the United States was born , so how a government computer will be all knowing any time soon, is a leap of faith).
The computer has decided that the executive branch is a threat to the public good and must be eliminated, so by its powers begins to knock off people in order to take over the government. We are lead to believe that a computer can calculate a crane to dump an object in the middle of a car chase, in order to prevent the police from discovering the computers intentions.
I didn’t catch the part exactly where it is assumed that if the government is out of control that it must be overthrown. But is is certainly implied in the movie that this is why the computer’s logic thinks it needs to remove the executive branch. Its not stated specifically, but I can see why somebody watching this might think that the Constitution says this, because the computer has come to the conclusions of its mission from reading articles the Constitution in its memory.
The casting is really bad, there some PC actors cast to play the parts of computer geeks, and military officials...Its really dumb...To see this movie, one needs to suspend all logic and succumb to a willing suspension of disbelief.
BTW, we do know where the illegal aliens are, we choose to do nothing about it. Whenever they enroll in school, go to the hospital, go to jail, get a job, get a drivers licence, etc, we know they are here and have false papers. We don't care. Politicians use our tax money to buy votes to stay in power.
Well I will probley avoid going then. Thanks, it was presented to me differently.
You do know however that we do have a computer system that monitors every single phone call in the US.
It will pickup keywords and type out the complete conversation and flag the call.
We’ve had it for years.
