This is the Root that I saw in the movie.
That's a great movie. Probably my favorite of theirs, though I like many others very much.zoey wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2023 12:32 pm Gotta be the coin flipping scene from No Country for Old Men - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqMdQBo ... heTogoPogo
The intense and suspenseful nature, as well as its symbolic significance within the context of the film is why this is my favorite. Javier Bardem's calm yet menacing demeanor, the music that leaves the watcher as if suspended from thin air, simple yet effective camera work, and immaculate dialogues are simply magical.

If you've watched episode 9 (season 1), what did you think. I was a bit disappointed (both times of watching) to realise the state of his father.Walker wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 7:54 pmHey, we started watching this after seeing the link.

Interesting. The father’s revelation in episode nine was not a surprise, but I didn’t think of the God angle, although it does apply. However, other than it being implied by Elliot’s God-like knowledge and accurate, intricate deductions, I don’t remember any explicit God foreshadowing in the earlier episodes, which is kind of a requirement for drama. It may be in there and I missed it. Discovering the other family member was a surprise, though.attofishpi wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2023 10:10 pmIf you've watched episode 9 (season 1), what did you think.

I was hoping that Elliot was going to comprehend his father had hacked the mother of all systems (God) and thus could appear whenever to Elliot's dimension.
Unfortunately, it's bullshit like what Elliots mental condition of schizophrenia which apparently can allow him to totally see and talk to someone non existent that makes people think that is a nature of the condition -BULLSHIT. Hence, when I talk about a sage that introduced himself to me from the aether in 2005, I'm just another deluded crazy dude!!
In one of the episodes prior to ep9, Elliot explains the meaning of his name. But I forgot what he said so I just asked C-GPT, see below.Walker wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 9:56 amInteresting.

What’s also notable is how Elliot’s God-like knowledge about everyone he knows and everyone he considers, and his powers of accurate deduction, make him intensely isolated from everyone, quite lonely. That's a seeming paradox. He carries it like a burden.
His knowledge and intelligence causes his facial expressions and hesitant searching for every word, as if words are either painful or live hand grenades. The actor communicates a lot of energy and inner turmoil with his silent facial expressions and halting, minimal speech.
Before his revelation, the father gave Elliot a purpose in life. After his revelation he gave him another purpose, to not let “them,” convince Elliot that he has lying eyes, and to not let them separate the father from Elliot. The father promises to always be with Elliot, just as he stayed with Elliot through his earlier self-medicating situation, in his moment of doubt and despair. After the father's revelation he grabs all of Elliot's drifting, fractured attention before they are interrupted, to tell Elliot that he will always be with him, if Elliot doesn’t let "them" separate father and son ... an implied God reference.

I never saw the movie ET, but I do know the kid was named Elliot. Any parallels?

Yes, in the TV series "Mr. Robot," the main character, Elliot Alderson, explains the meaning behind his name. He mentions that the name Elliot means "brave" and "true warrior." The etymology of the name Elliot is believed to have Scottish origins, and it is derived from the Old French name "Eliot," which itself comes from the medieval given name "Elie," a short form of the Old High German name "Elijah." The name Elijah, in turn, is often associated with meanings like "my God is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is God."
A.I is bloody amazing for everything. ChatGPT is far better than Bard IMO. I use it daily now, mostly for programming, but also for research.Walker wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 10:59 amGood Lord.attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 10:44 am ME:- In the TV series called Mr Robot, the main character explains the meaning of his name "Elliot", do you know the meaning of the name Elliot?

I'm not involved with this techology, but I can see from that what's now required of humans ... accurate processing of causation with the fewest facts in order to find true meaning, since AI will require all facts to find any meaning, should it ever evolve to finding any meaning.
Sounds like that movie was quite emotionally moving.attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 11:43 am
"Leave the World Behind" - OMG!!! <--- Best movie I have seen in years.
