Ideally, students should pick dystopian or science fiction films that show or highlight the tension between machines and humans, which is also an important research agenda among sociologists interested in social change. often show Modern Times (1936) during the first week of lecture classes as a way to introduce students to sociology. You must pick films that are dystopian or science fiction based. Do not pick films that are documentaries or historical in nature. You might consider the following: Planet of the Apes, Bladerunner, Robocop (1987), The Running-Man, Children of Men, 12 Monkeys, Matrix, The Postman, Terminator, Robot, The Island, Surrogates, Moon, Elysium, Ex Machina, Repo men, V for Vendetta, Avatar, Equals etc.
Next answer the following:
Question 1) In what ways does the film (you picked) highlight the growing tension between machines and humans in the modern age? If these were not the themes discussed on the tensions between humans and machines in the future, what do you think were the most sociologically relevant themes in the film you picked to review?
