Example Of Welcome Letter For A Church

futuristic Film: Demolition Man


Movie which premiered in 1993 and has a starring Sylvester Stallone. The story is about a cop and a criminal who is cryogenically frozen (frozen alive) and wake up almost 40 years later, in the year 2032 .
There is a memorable moment in which the prime minister of the city of the future speech by videoconference with the peculiarity that instead of watching on a large monitor different faces with which he spoke, had a table with 6 ready TVs that people seated, with the faces of all individuals with whom he spoke at the forefront of every single monitor spinning even when the minister was moving in order to continue watching it. Logically this is possible but a bit unnecessary, I would say like a futuristic technological fetishism so nice to see in movies.
cryonics As discussed in another post, because in this movie only serves as a mere pretext for the journey to the future context.
Another classic scene from the film is when the player is paid to have sex with the female protagonist (Sandra Bullock) and takes what a disappointment to learn that in future only have virtual sex, using a helmet that has sensors that carry messages to mind as if the experience was real. Perhaps not so wrong to think that it may have highly realistic virtual experiences (although I have doubts that in 2032 it gets to that point are indistinguishable from reality), but that does not mean you stop practicing "sex on the old" and pretended to be the hero with the beautiful Sandra Bullock, and that virtual sex was greatly impaired (one of the funniest moments of the film).

Some interesting tips 2032:

  • interactive Autos we speak, advise and help.
  • lethal weapons police are replaced by others that just disabling.
  • machines that were everywhere penalizing people when cursed. Skills
  • human subjects could be inserted by software.
  • virtual helmets and safe sex.
things that surely will be met by 2032 but some things need to be taken as very yielding cinematographic resources and nothing else.
very funny to see when the bad guy (Wesley Snipes) uses a computer to obtain information and street looks like the monitor in 2009 looks prehistoric today, not even starting is lcd or plasma, in addition to the low resolution that, while in 1993 was modern and looks very old now. A clear example of the constraints under which the film has to try to imitate a technology that does not yet exist.
The film also brings to the table interesting questions about the balance between freedom and security in society (balance must be constantly reviewed and balanced) by a future that is completely controlled to the extent prohibited physical contact sex risk disease or banned junk food.
