Eric Braeden stars as Dr. Charles Forbin, who has created a supercomputer named Colossus, built solely for the purpose of controlling the nuclear defenses of the Western alliance. It isn't too long after, however, that the Russians announce that they too have built a similar computer for those same purposes on their side--Guardian. And when the two machines begin sharing information at a speed nobody can believe, an attempt is made to disable them.
This unfortunately just raises the machines' ire; and in retaliation, they launch their weapons at each other's home nations. The result is a chilling scenario that is potentially becoming all too real these days.
COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT was not a big hit at the box office for various reasons. One is that its cast wasn't exactly well known. Another reason is that its ending isn't exactly a happy one. Still a third reason is that Universal had trouble trying to promote it in the wake of the huge success of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The latter reason is obvious: Colossus and Guardian, like HAL in the Kubrick movie, become central characters here. The difference here is that while HAL malfunctions due to a programming conflict, Colossus and Guardian remain all too stable, convinced beyond a doubt that they know how to protect Mankind better than Man himself. As the computers point out: "One inevitable rule is that Mankind is his own worst enemy."
Joseph Sargent's direction is efficient, and the special effects work of Albert Whitlock still manages to work despite its obvious age. An overlooked gem in the sci-fi genre, this should be given a revival.
居然還能這么結(jié)尾。
海報
作為現(xiàn)代意義電腦發(fā)明之前的作品,還是蠻有趣的。要能看到未來才能到達(dá)未來。雖然結(jié)尾好。。。爛。。。
想法超前,但中段敘事太疲軟了
美蘇和平被一對rogue電腦實(shí)現(xiàn)了。結(jié)尾大膽。
理想中萬無一失的控制系統(tǒng)和其中不可避免的人性弱點(diǎn)投射,兼具一定的思想性和幽默感。巨人電腦妙語連珠:需要,不是想要。自由只是幻覺。人類最大的敵人是自己…這個手段迅猛毒辣的人工智能對待人類的性需求倒挺樂意網(wǎng)開一面……
You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotional pride. In time,you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe but with love.
改編自D. F. Jones于1966年出版的小說《Colossus》,該小說有兩部續(xù)作。本片超前的探討了技術(shù)奇異點(diǎn)問題,故事節(jié)奏很好,超級電腦很有天網(wǎng)原型的感覺,結(jié)尾戛然而止,留下回味和暢想空間
病嬌……
AI終結(jié)美蘇爭霸,人類走向電腦治下的和平。世界稱霸者的演講好cool,人類反正會被同類統(tǒng)治,還不如讓一個理性的電腦來管理,即使這種均等的和平是悲哀的。1970年正是技術(shù)互博的時代,片子的反戰(zhàn)意識和對技術(shù)的恐懼還是很濃的,AI幾秒之內(nèi)的一個程序響應(yīng)就讓美蘇互射導(dǎo)彈,以及戛然而止的結(jié)尾讓人不寒而栗。
我對AI是有恐懼的,然而電影并沒有突出核武器的危機(jī)和恐怖,中間Dr.Forbin被囚禁的段落反而還制造了一種幽默感。結(jié)局是人類被機(jī)器操控了。
我要現(xiàn)學(xué)現(xiàn)賣: 這個電影就是cassette futurism啊。只具備理性的人工智能終結(jié)美蘇爭霸,不過最終似乎還是表達(dá)了現(xiàn)階段人類對一切無法切換到手動檔的電子產(chǎn)品的不信任。
好像巨人最后的話很有道理。。。。。。好期待有續(xù)集
超前

某種意義上柏拉圖哲學(xué)王理想的實(shí)現(xiàn)。You will say you lose your freedom.Freedom is an illusion.All you lose is the emotional pride.In time,you will come to regard menot only with respect and awebut with love.
高懸的天空核彈雙雙爆炸,草地上兩只蚱蜢瘋狂野合。一把傘賣兩千塊錢的時候,這場雨就不會停了。
科技焦慮與冷戰(zhàn)陰霾,最終收尾于弗蘭肯斯坦式“造物者被造物所毀”的可怕結(jié)局(片中也數(shù)次自指),對全人類來說亦是一種悲哀的和平??ㄋ咀帜还挥质菬晒馄良哟蜃謾C(jī)的冷硬風(fēng)格。故事風(fēng)格從大國博弈的政治驚悚轉(zhuǎn)為人與機(jī)器斗智的科幻驚悚,隨著故事格局的縮小,影片節(jié)奏開便始松弛,連配樂都動感了起來,在70年代的懷疑論氛圍中,人的情感總是突破困境的關(guān)鍵,就像78年的《人體異形》設(shè)定的那樣。本片用抽象極簡的顯示屏和控制面板便建立了巨人這個人工智能的實(shí)體形象,讓人想起《2001太空漫游》的HAL和它的攝像頭,不過比起HAL的冰冷,巨人顯然話癆不少,語氣用詞也暴躁許多
人工智能的偉大電影
