This documentary throws a lot at you, but I truly think these are some of the most inspiring people I've ever heard of. The charge of billionaire pet project doesn't hold water as these folks are doing actions that all point to moment in the future. Not sure how many lives she's saved with transplants and how many she will once the bio-printing of organs is real, but it's completely incredible. Martine seems to have been right about so much in her life, I wouldn't bet against her. In 50 years, when all that she's saying turns true, people will look back on this film and be like, WOW!
Personally I think it’s impressive that Sundance’s standards have sunk so low that they were comfortable programming a glorified commercial for a rich trans woman’s idiotic business ventures and the way she is so weirdly possessive of her Black wife (who she seems to frequently ignore for her own endeavors), without ever learning a single thing about the woman who is so important in this person’s life that she wants to preserve her forever.
Imagine if Live Forever As You Are Now presented Alan Resnick as a romantic, uncompromising, genius.
Love Machina is about too many subjects to be meaningful about any of them. It presents everything at face value without investigating the consequences of what the talking heads are opining about. The movie is desperate to articulate on the worst themes of Interstellar, trying to create connections between love, consciousness, and the futurism without recognizing at what is right in front of the lens. Just watch the series finale of How To With John Wilson instead.
Interesting in concept but dumb and dystopian overall. Like bruh let’s not pretend this is the same thing as “living forever.”
Should’ve been 35 minutes instead of 92. Also sorry but there’s really nothing special about the robot when compared to modern AIs. She literally can’t even correctly pronounce her own name. This should’ve come out 5 years ago.
this documentary is the beginning montage of a dystopian film masquerading as a wholesome romantic movie
Why did this movie feel like a brainwashing video to a billionaires pet project cult to achieve "immortality".
PS. What they are trying to do is not immortality, it's making a carbon copy of yourself, but it is not you, you are still going to die.
this is genuinely the scariest movie i’ve ever watched almost entirely based on the fact that these fuckass rich people have so much power that they can sit here and make shit like this and no one bats an eye
hey google play “soup is good food” by dead kennedys
Someone looking at me with a straight face telling me that AI replacing us is a good thing will never not make me mad.
Also not acknowledging any of the drawbacks or moral issues around the topic of your documentary is really dumb and makes this feel very disingenuous.
Also the pacing sucked.
