The interlocutor continues the horror trend of the hot button that is more relevant than ever

This article contains spoilers For “satellite”.

In 1985, John Hughes led a fallen sci-fi sexy comedy “Amazing Science”, about two teenage boys who use supercomputer to create Their final girl dreams (played Kelly Lebrock). The following year, Wes Craven extinguished a “deadly friend”, where a teenage boy refused to accept that the girl he was crushed, became the deceased brain and implanted his robot processor to return her. A year later, Pamela Gidley starred in the titular role in the sci-fi “Cherry 2000”, where, in the aggregate, the Great Future 2017 is the proximity that the hypereas became a dominant replacement of wives.

Robot girlfriends are nothing new, with “dusk”, even studying the psychology of people who are in romantic connections and emotional realization with androids in the episode of 1959 “Samoli”. But as technology continues to advance, and we approach the accuracy of the companions of the II, because the no longer imagined concept, we begin to see the consequences of real life to believe in the future, as long as it is programmed. “Creating the perfect partner you manage and matches each of your needs, really scary,” – warns Acting CEO at full stop Australia The Guardian. “Given that we already know that gender violence drivers are those rooted cultural beliefs that men can control women, which is really problematic.”

When in 2023 a launched app for the EVA AI satellite, it came with the slogan “control it, all you want” and some men have Already recognized in oral abuse of their virtual girlfriends. This applies to say it slightly. Tangible, Realistic Robot Girlfriends are an insevitability, but the one waking dystopia we cal life is pathetic, insecure losers that Ond Learning Emotional Competency, Improving Their Hygiene, Whether the development of the necessary social skills and empathy to earn a partner will get what they want – these boots will be reflected once.

If there is no justice in this world, it will look like a companion bot iris, avoiding your tough guy In the “companion”.

When we first meet with Iris (Sophie Thatcher) in the “interlocutor”, she recalls her sweetheart with Josh (Jack Kuid), the man she considers her a guy but actually her owner. The meeting is nothing but a programmed memory contour to help Iris develop a story. She slowly pushes the basket through the aisles in the grocery store, which goes to the product section when Josh accidentally knocked down all the demonstration of oranges that try to present her. This is such a charming story “As we met” that she became a cliché so much that she was thwarted In the horror movie, Sebastian Stan “Fresh”. But the scene of the supermarket is not only a reference to the Rom-Com-COM standard, it is also a reference to the grandmother of all stories of the wife of Stapford’s wife. Cinematographic adaptation of Raman Ira Levin in 1975. “Brian Forbes” is not the first “man to really replace his wives with a robot rather than going for therapy,” but this is undoubtedly a pre -who has made a AI Horror Story. Damn, the term “Stapford wife” is a commonly spoken shorthand used to quickly describe such heroes as Iris.

“Stapford’s wife” is a terrible fairy tale about the city where Men replace wives ‘perfect’ robot -replica The gender roles of the 1950s and freely obey their husbands. The final stage of the film shows that during the week it is shown that posters, smiling, perfectly covered wives of Stepford, who collect products and welcome each other with a nice pleasant gaming shows. It is here that the audience learns that the protagonist Joanna (Katarin grew) was unable to avoid transformation, a gloomy ending wrapped in a well -cut shirt and an oversized summer hat. The scene was also included in the Campy Remake since 2004 as Nicole Kidman.

Stapford’s Wives were originally written by satire, but tragically this is the world that some men hope to make real.

The motivational factor that is being studied in these stories often falls into two categories – the need for control or desire to play God. Natan Bateman (Oscar Isaac) in “EX Machina”, for example, is a software engineer – a millionaire who decided to invest his money in improving the guinids so lifelong that they can replace women as comrades and servants. He also received data for his creations AI to “learn” by stealing the data he created, what is there that a terrible real opportunity What I’m going to get past before I have an existential crisis in the middle of the legislation. Nathan eventually destroyed his own habris because he believes that a true sign of sensitivity is the ability to deceive people’s emotions for selfish purposes. Essentially, consciousness is the ability to dominate another person.

I instantly reminded of the line from the movie “Remen” “I spat on your grave”, in which one of the rapists says: “A common performance. This is what I like in a woman. A common performance.” Rape is the most extreme form of sexual abuse, but it is an act that is rooted in control and depriving the person of its autonomy. Design, this is a prerequisite for a manner that has no autonomy. When Empathix delivers Iris Josh to Companion, the technician tells him that she will be fully obedient and that he can do “whatever he wants”.

A few minutes after he set a love connection with her, the version of the loving pairing of your iPhone with Bluetooth in the car, he has sex with her. When Iris finally learns the truth of his personality, he even calls her “f *** bot” before asking her what she is doing “much more” for him. By the end of the movie, the Empathi -nickname worker nicknamed Sid (Matt McCarthy) is talking to his employees about how often people torture their companions by using them for target practice or screwing them in the basements – violence is normalized, expected to be expected It is expected, expected, expected, expected, expected, expected, and what he says that you are “used” because “boys will be boys” would be too on the nose.

While much try to put out the story of AI friends as a medicine technology to fix loneliness, reality is that people who already use applications for AI friends go out of force and control that they can render over women, which literally cannot affect. “Vanessa 5000” Courtney Pauras As part of the cutting off is submitted He was a brilliant, biting study of society’s relationships with women, sex, technological things and intimacy, turning the script, playing sexbot, slowly forcing viewers to challenge their current performance.

Getting a Pauros’ message is willing to see how it turns into a literal sex object, programmed to respond to the applause of the audience, look for men’s checks and perform commands. “Perhaps someday, Vanessas will be able to gesture human children, and maybe one day Vanasas will be withdrawn by state girlfriends who have doubled as government guards,” she says with a vocal AI-esca model. “Or maybe, even one day, Vangeas will be a militarized weapon, as in the 1997 American film” Austin Powers “. Yes, baby. Of course, she means that Fembat, beautiful blond boots, can seduce their victims and shoot their bullets that shoot the chest.

This is a great joke, but when movies such as “Deadly Friend”, “EX Machina”, “Companion”, and yes, even “Austin Powers” believe, the necessary step that arises from the normalization of Ai -friend the uprising, and I am happy to I will support the case.

Robots running on Amok are also not new, but the vast majority are tales of Distopian corruption as “Terminator”, Ah go out as “I, Robot”, “2001: Space Odysseus” and “Mitchels VS The original movie “Disney -Canal” “Smart Home”. For a long time, fairy tales about robots fighting people reflected robots as a final threat and technology as what you need to be afraid. Do not understand me wrong, we still have to fear the II not because it is inherently evil, but because AI will always be a reflection that he learns from us.

If I interrogated Franklin Rich, writer/director “The Sitcelific Girl” Back in 2023, he said that what, in his opinion, would remain relevant. As the writer/director Drew Hanok said in our interview, “If you lived in the world where your phone looked like a person as it would affect how you treat the phone but also how it treats people (. .) The line between the robot and the man is so blurred, are you going to objectify?

Iris is not a dangerous robot because she is essentially afraid that she is a dangerous robot because she saw that the cruelty is able to unleash and learned to stop it in any necessary ways. I am linked to Iris because even as a man I was a rainbow shell. I had partners, getting rid of my autonomy, Gaslight, abused me and controlled me because they felt it their right as an “alpha”. Watching how Iris will give a person like Josh, exactly what he deserves is a kind of cataire that most women will be able to explore only in our most amazing fantasies (for obvious reasons).

Probably, instead of learning from us, we could learn a thing or two from the interlocutors as Iris, regarding how to bring back our freedom from our oppressors.
