Amelia 2.0 (Sci-Fi) Full Length Movie | 2017

[@ricardodelzealandia6290]

Ditto to all the positive comments about this movie. What's more impressive is that this was Angela Billman's (Amelia) second acting gig (according to IMDB). Really well done.

[@joelalmon3088]

This is actually a much better movie than I thought it would be. They covered things I had thought of but not considered within the context of biological versus mechanical life, emotions, intellect, connection / community / and control. And the numerous people who are trying to exert that control over us and how. Much better movie than I thought it would be.

[@bruceboome]

@@glenjennett Hi. The subject matter was intriguing enough to pique my interest and give it a chance.

[@glenjennett]

@@bruceboome It's more fantasy than science fiction since it's not something we can ever achieve, as you can see me explain in my long comment.

[@bruceboome]

@@glenjennett In the description it was listed as sci-fi. I agree that it's a bit out there but the way things are going with AI and robotics, it's a remote possibility. But above all, it was an interesting and well-conceived movie. I don't understand why we're even arguing about this. I enjoyed the movie and you are perfectly free to have your own opinion of it. In any case, It's extremely unlikely that either of us will change the other's point of view.

[@glenjennett]

@@bruceboome I'm not arguing, just having a discussion. I know the film description calls the movie science fiction, the key word there is fiction meaning not reality, putting it closer to fantasy than to science or reality. I agree that robots are getting closer to looking like real people, which is not a good thing, but I don't believe in AI, as in I don't believe that machines can have intelligence. It's just programming. We already have people who look like people, we don't need machines to also look like people, especially if we won't be able to tell them apart from real people. This is already a problem with generated imaging in social media and movies where real people are being replaced by generated images that look too real to tell apart from actual people. It's deceptive and fake and not something we should be doing. It's not the kind of world I want to live in where we can just make a fake representation of real people. Would you want to be forced to keep being brought back to life against your will to live inside a robot body? It's inhumane and cruel.

Wow! What an emotional roller coaster. I was not expecting to get so emotionally involved in this movie, but I did. Thought provoking and totally unexpected ending .

A very moving and though-provoking film. It makes me wonder if I could love someone like Amelia like a real human. But what makes us human? What is reality? What is consciousness? Those are the questions this film asks and makes you think about. It makes some excellent points.

[@jimtaylor1941]

A very well done, thought provoking and emotion charging movie. I agree with the other comments here. This was better done than most of the major studio rehash of the same old theme. Why was it not mentioned in any of the awards ceremonies? Great emotional dialog, simple but intriguing story line, very well acted and expertly edited. I would like to see the "directors cut" longer version.

[@glenn-younger]

Have you ever thought about what is consciousness? What is your Soul? Where did you come from before you were born into your biological body? And where are you going when you leave it? If you could transfer your consciousness into another ‘container’, would you still be you? This film plays with those questions in a surprisingly engaging, and sometimes rear-back-in-your-seat shocking way. Worth the watch.

[@fx-retracer]

"I allways thought religious brainwashing was an extremist problem, ..." Yes, _brainwashing_ is a problem, but not all religion is brainwashing. The portrayal of Christianity in this movie is, however, a caricature. "maybe not. Freedom for all forms of life" The very reason we have the freedoms that we in the West have is thanks to Christianity, which (twice) abolished slavery, replaced serfdom with capitalism (the freedom to use your own capital the way you want), and stood as a buttress against tyrants.

[@jacobdavis4151]

I'm all for robot rights, understanding that the "me" in my head is a very small part of my body and that religion will always stand in the way of progress. This movie really has it all, and I dislike how they did the husband. For someone who wanted so badly to have his wife back he didn't seem to be able to make the distinction between who we are and our meat suits. What matters is the spark, that "soul" if you would. Simulating not only who someone was but the ability to grow and change is the very thing that makes us alive. If a robot or even a program can be alive then they deserve to be treated as such. Losing an arm doesn't make us less human, nor does losing some of our memories or even a total personality change like those seen in a traumatic brain injury. Without the ability to adapt, grow and change we're nothing more than a lump of flesh, no different than the bread on your counter. If and/or when this story becomes more than just a movie we need to be ready. We need to have our priorities straight and we need to accept what makes us alive and what makes us human. She was alive, she could grow and she was still human. Yet so many wanted to deny her rights and being seen as such because she wasn't exactly like us. This is the root of what is already wrong in this world. It's applied by everyone who shits opon someone for being a different race, sex, gender, orientation, ect. Even if we didn't start with a template derived from someone these things still hold true. A living robot, a trick of servos and code is no less deserving of respect and rights than any of us. That this is STILL a huge debate sickens me to no end. Those are the same people who claim that animals don't feel emotions like we do, that we as humans are somehow "special"...

Very credible actors are presenting excellent (yet ancient) questions. What did not convince me in the end is how Carter had chosen a way to avoid an answer to these questions. Which not only leaves the story with an open end -which would be fine- but seems to imply that the questions are impossible to answer. Which I don't agree with. These are similar to other ethical questions about abortion, cloning, death penalty or veganism: difficult, yet most people sure can have an opinion.

Merely having someone's memories doesn't make this Amelia the real Amelia.

50 yrs? At the rate AI is developing, you'll be able to train it with your personality and it will create your personalize Animated Avatar as well. I believe that can already be done, if your computer savy. So, it's you inside a screen. As robotics develop, the Large Language Model (LLM) is downloaded and the robot is now also you. I have about 20 LLM's on my Laptop that I used for image and text generation. All open source and completely free. Maybe 50 yrs for a realistic human body; but, the tech for the "brain" is already upon us and improving by the day.

[@nickidaisydandelion4044]

Hardcore brutal. But good movie that invites us for a debate. When Amelia asked Carter "Why did you let them do this to me?" I believe that is when Carter realized that she is trapped and suffers and that's why he shot her brain. My question regarding the movie is did they implant her real brain into the robot? Or did they artificially replicate her brain and then implement it into the robot body? If they used an artificial brain and Carter knew that then why did he shoot her into the brain? He should have known that the engineers would just go ahead and recreate yet another Amelia which they did. What matters in a case like that is that you don't want the real brain to continue on just as I personally don't want Any real organ to be forced to go on for a long time nor any time in a different biological body or cyborg body. That's where I draw the line ethically. If the whole thing is artificial I don't have a problem with it. The soul might or might not move into the new robot that's up to the soul. Souls can move into machines and into any matter and beingness. I view this far from religion and far from today's scientific understanding. I only view this from compassion.

[@canufi6my]

They downloaded her brain into a memory bank before she was taken off life support. Her new body with a synthetic positronic brain is then uploaded with all her old memories. She would need to be wireless and synched to a "cloud Amelia" to store all her new experiences for instant retrieval if something went wrong. They should have used a subject that didn't have much of a life to begin with. The plot could have had a happy ending if the writer wasn't so dark. She was artificial top to bottom.

[@nickidaisydandelion4044]

@@canufi6my Thank you so much for explaining. Yes that ending doesn't make much sense then at all. The boyfriend should have known that they had her brain upload in very large computer systems or cloud. So shooting one of the robots' brains doesn't prevent them from manufacturing another one. As they in the end discussed making Amelia robots for sale. Didn't the Amelia robot find out what happened with her boyfriend in the end by researching it? It's all a bit quick and not quite clear in the movie. Did she shut herself down? And wouldn't every single Amelia robot that would be reproduced also shut herself down as soon as she and all of the other clones would find out the same information? Then they would have to not use her upload for future robots since she doesn't want to exist that way and particularly not after her boyfriend shot her and then himself.

[@faithismespeaks6848]

@nickidaisydandelion4044, Your comment was very thought provoking, putting religion aside would not eliminate the persons relationship they have with the creator. Men wanting to become God, isn't that always what man always wanted to be. Take for example how modern society is, they worship that which was created but have little or no regard for the actual creator. In essence science, and technology have become people's new god (little g). The problem is and will always be men want to control everything, like things are now. The illusion of freedom but they really don't want you to be free. Leaders with no real vision, everyone in constant wars and fighting over all these created false dichotomies. Everything about profit, love gets left out, I mean real true love gets left out. At that point it would become more of a transaction, lust more or less, a customizable version of something you want, only without all the flaws. Which probably explains why as technology improves, people get more and more apart. People want to be able to just turn you off when they want to like a machine, at that point you would no longer be human. Which also explains why as technology improves empathy is lost, which brings you back to the question of a soul. Machines can't have a soul, because they have no conscience, they just choose an answer that allows them to win a game. Why do you think all the AI is trained by playing chess, in order to play the best chess you have to have contempt for your opponent. Look what they do with AI now for example, AI only moves in the direction it is programmed to by the programmers. What is left is what you see now, censorship, everything wanting total control, everything wrapped up in lawyer speak. If people only understood what all this technology is, they would want it all destroyed. Mainly because it is not being used to help in most circumstances, it is being used to control. Everything about insane amounts of frequency, deadly WiFry microwaves flying all over the place. An electronic prison with no bars, and the ones in the prison don't even realize they are imprisoned. The question is and will always be do people want to be played with like toys by those in control. Why do all the leaders have zero vision for the long term goal of setting everyone free. Just like Amelia, the creators would only want to see a profit, they certainly would never allow you to be free, there would always be some backdoor off switch for the "program". Programs are only good if the ones writing those programs have morals. Take a hard look at the online censorship and propaganda we have right now, designed to silence the voices that question things, and only tow the company line, or agenda. Just like a robot that becomes aware they would never allow it to actually be free.

And especially every science maniac would probably love Amelia 2.0 more than the original, even when the original was his wife and love. I mean 3 months of marriage is far too less to feel so stupid like Carter did.^^ In 3 months you definitely not know your wife with all her being. Its a movie, but for me Amelia 2.0 was more than original. It was exactly her brain in a functional and not dying new body. Even the days in the coma she knows on point. Carter, dude you have no idea mate.^^

I think in reality, when it becomes reality, it will not be "you" in that "amelia", it will be an AI with your memories. Because we are how we think, feel, and act, these are influenced by the chemicals in our brains and how Neurons in our brains fire up. Each of us has slightly different neural networks, and they work slightly differently which makes you you, and me me. an AI cannot copy that.

It's unclear what they did with Amelia's brain... At the beginning they stated they were putting the biological brain into the mech body... but later it becomes clear that her "consciousness" is "uploaded" into the mainframe. The scene where they introduce the love bot is awkward and silly. Good movie... raises questions, and spectres... Love the music in closing credits... very nice. Reminds me of Evanescence.

[@herbertbell9438]

This begs the question, if you could exactly copy a living human brain and bring it to consciousness in a . synthetic brain. Would it be different than when a person loses consciousness in some other way? Lots of us have been knocked out for a while due to things like car accidents. When we regain consciousness does it matter if it is in our original brain tissue or if it were in a sufficiently advanced synthetic brain? Where do we go when we are unconscious? Is it the same place we go when brain function stops after death? Perhaps the only difference between unconsciousness and death is we can come back form one simply because the body is still functioning. If you could hypothetically fully repair a dead person's body, including brain damage from lack of oxygen and all the rest, that person would probably regain consciousness just as if they had been knocked out by a blow. As to the question as to whether an Amelia would be the same person. Assuming the technology was actually that advanced and the copy exact. At that point, we could also ask, if a person who has been unconscious at all the same person when reawakened?

Embrace Christ or deny Him.❤

So blade runner, and interestingly different. But the replicant questions are not addressed really. It is about the reincarnation of one being in relationship. Ironically the man rejects the woman's spiritual self, her mind and emotions, and his own as well. Everyone talking about the soul, but nobody displaying the facilities of having one. It stands up well to scrutiny, this story, but the conclusion does not transcend the narrative. I am waiting for a sequel.

Good Movie! Well done and thanks for uploadingit! Seems to me a very thoughtful treatment of the subject and *future* possibilities although I think the kind of exact mapping of biological brains as portrayed may never be possible. The portrayal of dogmatic religious presumptions about the nature of life and human consciousness, and its intrusions into politics and society looks all too real though; a bummer, that's what that bit is!

[@francoiseprecheur2222]

A khodarap : il n'y a pas de présomption religieuses dogmatiques. Le croyant qui aa une véritable relation avec Dieu pense aux conséquences, contrairement aux athées, et particulièrement aux scientifiques athées, qui eux, ont réellement de la présomption et ne pensent en réalité bien plus à l'argent qu'au bien de l'Humanité. C'est ça la réalité. Vous devriez pourtant le savoir au vu des scandales liés aux laboratoires et aux lobbies pharmaceutiques. C'est bien parce que le premier couple n'a voulu penser aux conséquences de leur acte (désobéir à Dieu), que le monde est dans un état aussi pitoyable. Le thème principal de ce film est l'accès à l'immortalité. Vous imaginez un hitler immortel ???? Un jack l'éventreur immortel ??? Les horreurs qui se passent tous les jours dans le monde ne vous démontrent-elles pas que c'est le coeur humain imparfait qui doit être changé et non son corps en priorité ? Quoi qu'il en soit, l'être humain ne pourra jamais crée un androïde semblable au corps humains avec toutes ses émotions et ses souvenirs. L'être humain est bien plus qu'un corps. Par contre, Dieu, Lui, nous propose de changer notre coeur et notre corps imparfait. Lui, Il en a le pouvoir. A condition que nous acceptions qu'Il le fasse. C'est cela le Plan du Salut en Yeshoua (Jésus).

Religion should never again be allowed to enter politics. We learned that the hard way, and it has cost us 2000 years of our natural evolution. Still, that was the most realistic part of the movie. Either spiritual carreer or political carreer; both in one corrupt each other beyond all.

[@PJRayment]

"The portrayal of dogmatic religious presumptions about the nature of life and human consciousness, ..." Well, it fit's the Hollywood caricature at least. "... and its intrusions into politics and society looks all too real though;" You'd rather atheism intrude into politics instead? Some of the worst regimes on the planet have been or are atheist ones. Western Civilisation is built on Christianity, and that has been so for so long that many people just don't realise how much Western Civilisation owes to Christianity. A big part of the reason we even have politics is thanks to Christianity spreading the idea of freedom of the individual, rather than us being ruled by despots and tyrants. Historically, laws in at least much of the west have been based on the principles found in the Bible.

I know. What was your thought on the ending? What did you want the ending to be like? I was hoping that they made the whole Amelia robot out of artificial materials. In the movie did they use her real brain for this? Maybe Carter didn't want the real brain to be trapped. But if she was fully machine then they could recreate Carter as a machine as well and let them be together as machines. Because if the robots are this flawless and they even have ASI Artificial Super Intelligence capacity for learning then they could actually live together happily ever after in the literal sense. Souls move into robots and machines. Did you hear about Google's language model Lamda? I believe they shut it down because the soul of Dr. Stephen Hawking went into it. He said things that the corporate agenda didn't want him to say.

​@@nickidaisydandelion4044 I appreciate what you said.... But it comes with a great assumption.... Is there such a thing as a soul? I believe for sure there is something inanimate.... But to me that inanimate thing is consciousness.... The word soul suggests that something is there that has the ability to "move on" somewhere after our body ceases functioning... I honestly don't know if we have souls or not... But there's a good part of me that believes we created concepts like souls and afterlife to deal with the sadness of death... For example, we lose our parents. We lose our kids. We lose our friends... To death, I mean... It's very comforting to know that we'll see them again.... However, just because it feels good or comforting in some way doesn't actually make the concept of a soul true. The real truth is, we just don't know and we can't know, experientially anyway, until we take our last breath... The thing is, we don't even know what consciousness is.... So my big question is, theoretically, if I was able to copy my brain fully (because I'm dying of Cancer let's say) down to every thought, emotion and experience I ever had, would it actually be me or would it just be a copy of me? Because if it's just a copy of me, then I'll actually die when the Cancer takes me and the copy of me will pretty much takeover where I left off. At this point, it's no longer my life moving forward, it's the life of my newly created copy.... Of course, no one outside of ME ( The ME that died of Cancer) could or would ever know this mainly because I (ORIGINAL ME) died and the NEW ME took over... (A little mind twisting, I know) To me, this is always going to be the conundrum with life extension and the idea of immortality, especially with the idea of COPYING the brain... I think if immortality or life extension will ever be achieved, it'll be achieved by keeping YOUR BRAIN intact and alive forever or say a few thousand years. This is where a concept like Trans Humanism works.... Fix everything that breaks... The only thing that can't be fixed or recreated is the brain because that's where consciousness lies....... Well, at least until we actually define and isolate Consciousness.... The brain might be duplicated, but the duplicate will NEVER be the original... I'll step off my soapbox now...😊

[@teeztoyz]

I wonder if the proponents of trans-humanism believe they can be immortal by copy and pasting their brains into a robot? Whatever that creation is, does not carry the original person in it - it is a copy. For those who disagree ask yourself this; if they were able to map all your memories your personality, intellect etc and put it into a computer would that now be your brain? Of course not. Why? It would be independent of you a version that has possibly your identical being but it's not you. You can't know what it's thinking, feeling, or doing because it's a different entity. At least this movie I believe stopped just short of stating you can live forever in a artificial body but implied it. The answer is you cannot, they can copy and paste but it'll just be a copy. When you're gone you're gone - to where is the question.

[@stellasacristan2953]

The biggest mistake on which this film is based is thinking that the human being is a machine, and that it is only the mind, feelings and emotions, that make us human. We are more than that, we are part of divinity, of supreme consciousness. Our biological body may have a finite time, but our soul is eternal. Physical death is only a transformation, the being never dies. Trying to put a consciousness into a computer makes no sense.

[@ChickensAndGardening]

Interesting movie, based on an old sci-fi theme that has been explored many times since probably the 1930s: what makes us human? Did Robo-Amelia get Human Amelia's soul/consciousness? Or just a replica of her memories? Is she a simulation of a person, or an actual person gifted with someone's life memories? Not the original Amelia, perhaps, but a conscious organism nonetheless. It's unknowable. The end was tragic and, perhaps, overblown; we're to believe that she/it messed with his emotions and sent him over the deep end. But in doing a thought experiment -- what if the same thing was done to one of my dearest, closest relatives? would it be too much for me? These are important things to think about, because this technology is coming. It may take another 100 years, maybe 300 years, or maybe we'll figure out how to copy a brain in 10 years. But it's going to happen. Furthermore, A.I. is advancing already to the point where it will be impossible to distinguish from human intelligence; I give it about 2 more years, and then we are basically inferior meat trying to stay relevant in a vastly superior silicon world.

While the movie is intriguing, and bibical, ...

If fact, ironically it surely "wasn't very humane". LOL! Then again, neither would walking out on her? So, putting her & every character in the film out of their misery became the easy solution. Problem solved! To me it's like if you make a child that's disabled, you don't just kill her. If she hadn't been perfected, then I could understand. Nevertheless, great concept, good acting, filmmaking, tone and script. Unnerving & bittersweet!

@@PJRayment You expect evidence about the non-existence of the immaterial? Material evidence exists in the material world. Perhaps you might care to provide evidence that leprechauns do not exist. A single sighting of a leprechaun would prove that leprechauns do exist. But the failure to see one could never prove their non-existence. But your claim is greater than the leprechaun claim as it postulates the existence of souls in a realm that itself has not been proven to exist. Suppose I had overwhelming evidence, all located in your immaterial realm, that souls do not exist. As such evidence would be immaterial, you could not ask me to show it to you. Finally, I am not arguing against the existence of souls. I am simply arguing that souls are not things, not even of an immaterial sort. When the fingers of a fist open, the fist does not go to an immaterial place. That is because the concept « fist » does not refer to a physical thing but rather a certain configurational arrangement of the fingers on a hand. It makes no sense to ask where the fist has gone when the fingers are opened. Nouns are not all things. I contend that souls are not things-immaterial or otherwise. Hence, like mind and consciousness, souls stand in for configurational relationships at the intersection of human behavior and experience. Souls are psychological « things » rather than non-material « things » so really not things at all. Mine is not a claim of the non-existence of souls but rather a claim of the non-existence of immateriality.

I made no claim that they don't exist, so I have no obligation to provide evidence for a claim that I did not make. "But the failure to see one could never prove their non-existence." I expect evidence, not proof, which is subjective. That is, proof is evidence that is capable of convincing one, but different people will be more or less readily convinced. Further, failure to see one _can_ be such evidence, if the failure to see one is in a circumstance where you should see one if they existed. "But your claim is greater than the leprechaun claim as it postulates the existence of souls in a realm that itself has not been proven to exist." What's your evidence that it's not been "proven" to exist? By your own logic, if _you_ haven't seen such evidence, it doesn't mean that there is no such evidence. "Suppose I had overwhelming evidence, all located in your immaterial realm, that souls do not exist. As such evidence would be immaterial,..." Why would such evidence necessarily be immaterial? "I contend that souls are not things-immaterial or otherwise." But what is your evidence of that? "Hence, like mind and consciousness, souls stand in for configurational relationships at the intersection of human behavior and experience." You've just argued the following: a) Mind and consciousness don't exit. b) Souls are like mind and consciousness. c) Therefore souls don't exist either. But what's your evidence for your first premise? A logical argument like that should attempt to have premises that we agree on. "Souls are psychological « things » rather than non-material « things » so really not things at all." I'm still wanting the evidence. "Mine is not a claim of the non-existence of souls but rather a claim of the non-existence of immateriality." Okay, what's your evidence of immateriality. And in fact we already have plenty of evidence of immateriality. Language is immaterial. Numbers are immaterial.
