| So, I've just watched Daft Punk's Electroma. It was an amazing movie, and it made me sad. If I had watched it alone, I would have probably cried. - Interested in Electroma?:
Wikipedia ♥ Screenshot Electroma is a movie you must have patience for. I love Daft Punk very much, so I dealt with it. There is absolutely no talking whatsoever, but there is music, sometimes. It's also very art-sy, having beautiful shots of desert landscapes, rocks, bushes, sand, and the back of Daft Punk jackets.
It's essentially about two robots who want to become human, but can't, so they kill themselves. There is more detailed information in the wikipedia page, but really, this is all it is. It was a beautiful movie none the less, and I really liked it, but it is something you have to wait for.
Actually, I found this about it that makes it sound freaking amazing. It's good, no doubt. But it seems longer then it is.
"An odyssey of two robots who journey across a mythic American landscape of haunting, surreal beauty on a quest to become human. This silent feature-length film made its international debut at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. With its breathtaking cinematography, innovative filming techniques, and above all, its underlying search for humanity within a dystopian environment, Daft Punk have delivered a film that finds a common thread with their previous work, while exploring new horizons as directors."
But this also spawned a roleplay idea. You absolutely do not have to know anything about the movie in order to play with me. The movie just inspired this. In this world, there are humans, and there are robots. You better not call them machines, because machines are just not the same. Machines are toasters, televisions, toys. Robots are creatures, just like you. Just like me. Most robots are perfectly happy with being just that, Robots. Robots are sometimes friends of humans, sometimes enemies. Some Robots think humans are lesser then they are, and some humans think the same for them. Robots don't necessarily have emotions, but some Robots are equipped with chips to make them seem like they have emotions. However, some Robots want to be Human, and some Humans really want to be Robots. I don't have a whole lot of information on this yet, actually. If you're interested, let's chat! :'D All I know is that my character will be a 'female' robot, and there will very probably not be any sex at all. Maybe boobs and/or general nudity, but robots don't feel the need for sex like humans do. They do have human-looking bodies, but the way I see it is that they have robot heads like the robots in the movie. Maybe not in that style or anything, but just robot heads in general. Your character can be male or female, robot or human. I think I'd prefer it if your character was female, personally. P: Dear god, I hope somebody's interested in this at least a little bit. I wanna do it so bad. Q ~ Q | |
