"Westworld" (1973) - Review & Commentary
WARNING: SPOILERS. HAPPENING. BELOW. DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW.
Yul Brynner as a killer cowboy android gone rogue? Sign me up to watch that shit!
1:10 clearly they're making a statement about the dangers of future technological progress and the morality of abusing/killing lifelike robots... so already I can tell this movie is like 150 years ahead of its time.
2:00 this whole introductory segment is making a statement about the dangers of humanity being caught up in what is essentially now known as virtual reality.
5:00 they're making people of the future sound like a bunch of pussies.
13:12 look how sexy they are in that cowboy garb... ANY man could get laid dressed as a cowboy.
They can't really just do ANYTHING they want... how can they tell who is a robot and who isn't??
14:30 lol, they just addressed my question. I meeean... it kinda DOES matter, but okay. *side eye*
14:50 man this is a fucking BRILLIANT plot. I know this movie's only ~50 years old, but it seems VERY prophetic. EERILY prophetic, actually.
15:33 damn, look at that fucking terrifying 'neither here nor there' kinda stare Yul Brynner is serving here. I'm shook. He's scary as hell. Is he supposed to be that scary?? Like... HELLA intimidating, lol.
19:30 I gotta say... this movie is ODDLY fascinating.
23:03 is it just me or does she not look AT ALL happy?? The other chick/robot looked way more excited and fun.
23:50 lol, I like this guy.
25:10 oh man this is fucking creepy. What is the plot twist here? I mean I know Yul Brynner bot goes rogue, but ALL of them are creeping me the fuck out.
27:00 reminds me of that legendary episode of the Twilight Zone, "A Matter of Minutes"... https://www.sectual.com/thread-2481.html
32:18 "In some cases, they've been designed by other computers," wow. That's some advanced, next level shit. This is the kind of shit they're talking about today with AI.
42:02 "We have programmed infidelity into the Queen," roflmfaolol.
46:40 RIGHT HERE was where they should have shut down the entire fucking operation. I'ma just say that.
48:45 "Everything's fine!" Roflmfaololol, okay this movie is funny.
58:40 shit just went hardcore south. There's only like 30 minutes left in this movie. So far it's been totally excellent. I'm glad I've never seen it before now.
1:00:30 lol this turned into a horror movie FAST.
1:09:15 I was about to say, how the fuck does the plotline account for having all this land?? Lol.
1:11:00 why didn't he just keep on riding the horse??? They've gotta be able to get out of the whole entire 'resort' somehow.
1:18:15 the battery powered gun... again, the futuristic vision of this movie is totally chilling. There's something unsettling about it.
1:21:24 it's unbelievably eerie.
1:23:10 I'm getting "Night of the Living Dead" vibes... is another survivor gonna kill him? Or another robot?
1:25:15 dude I bet kids who saw this had nightmares about that shit.
1:25:51 this guy looks OVER ITTTT.
1:27:00 how the fuck was that the end of the movie?? Seriously? Well it was equal parts good and equal parts totally unsettling.
I've never seen a movie quite like that before.
