Movie Stills

In the movie "The Matrix", I chose two different film stills and the first one  is a still where Neo and Mr.Smith are in mid air and the scene where Neo stops a bunch of bullets in mid flight.In the first film still the protagonist, Neo and the antagonist, Mr.Smith were in mid battle. The film still displays a lot of intensity between the two. This still to me represents the human races' last stand against the oppressive regime of artificial intelligence. Both characters are in mid air holding a handgun pointed at each other, while displaying serious faces. This shows that both sides were willing to die to achieve what they want. The second film still displays Neo using powers that he developed, while being in the martix, to stop a barrage of bullets. This makes me feel overpowered and hopeful because Neo seems stronger than he ever was and his posture displays such strength. As if He could take on anything that is thrown in his direction. I can use this as evidence of the humans trying and overcoming the tyranny of the artificial intelligence, also known as Mr.Smith.

My Research Topic

Two major topics that interest me are Research paper Idea 3: "Portraying Robots in Film" and "The Promise of Artificial Intelligence  and/or Robots vs the dangers/problems for loss of labor, etc.", which is in Research paper idea 1: Promise and Peril in Science.

I find research idea 1 interesting because there are real world applications to this problem. Situations that have happened recently fit perfectly with this problem. The movie I intend to use for the topic "Portraying Robots in Film" is "The Matrix". I am interested in this topic because I watched the movie before and enjoyed it and now I feel the movie would be perfect for the topic. Another thing that interests me about this topic is how every movie with the robot as the antagonist is just the manifestation of what human truly fear about artificial intelligence. I also find it interesting how companies are integrating artificial intelligence into the main workforce just to cut down on having to pay for employees and increase revenue.

Introduction

Hello, my name is Justin Charlotin. I am from Brooklyn, New York and I currently attend LaGuardia Community College, which is in Long Island City, New York and I this is my first year. After graduating from this college I intend to transfer to John Jay College. My major is Criminal Justice and I chose this major because I want to become a cop after obtaining a Bachelor's degree. I intend to work my way up to being a homicide detective in the NYPD. I chose this field because I have family members that have worked in that particular field and I find it to be interesting. I am more technologically optimistic because I feel with every new piece of technology there is a better chance of understanding our world better. I feel that more technology will help discover more possibilities that could change the face of the world! I enjoy many different genres of films and books. For example I enjoy reading manga, which is Japanese comics. A movie I've watched recently and enjoyed is Ip man, which is about the introduction of the martial arts known as "Wing Chung". This blog is required for the ENG 103 class I am currently taking.
