Film: Zoe.
review
This film is not about how humans build a synthetic human that imitates to perfection human features, but about how humans imitate to perfection robots in and out of a film.
Humans are too excitedly preoccupied about how to create a robot who could emulate to perfection a human. Unfortunately, we are not equally preoccupied with understanding the robotic nature inbuilt in us as humans, side by side with our obsessions about creating synthetic humans.
We really don’t know how our body does it, how does it put it all together constantly to keep us alive in ways which not only minimises our chances to die but maximises our chances to thrive. We only see the exterior of people, even when we get very intimate with them. We still keep just seeing what they bring to the fore to us and for us, which is really to them and for them.
We keep missing how it is all constantly put together in from of us, like a miracle that bring to life every person we encounter and speak with us, hate us, love us or ignore us. At the most blunt analysis they can all be perfectly plastic from the inside and at the most sharp analysis they could perfectly hide to us what is really going on with them and what they truly think of us.
The ant eater never had time to ask nature why she limited its choices just to eat ants. The ant eater discovered out of its given limitation a new infinite universe of choices within a narrow canal with a tongue. We human have such narrow canal like the ant eater. We call it consciousness. We explore the entire universe with such a long tongue and its narrow canal.
The Zoe that says to Cole, I love you, is not a synthetic human, she is a real human robotised in a film to say, I love you. The only robot and synthetic human we are going to always keep creating is the one we keep making of us au naturel without ever needing an artificial one to make us look more humans.
It is only when we look straight inside our own inner robotic nature that we are able to awake and feel again how great is to be human, all too human.
