Surrogates
 


 

‘Surrogates’ is a science fiction based on a comical series. But rather than a very old comic – ala Dick Tracy, Spiderman and like, ‘Surrogate’ the comic appeared in 2005 – 06. So that explains why you probably have not heard about the comic.
Anyway the theme about Surrogates is robots. Human like robots which you can control, you can determine who do you want them to look like and you can also use ‘your mind’ to control what they do. That is not all. In Surrogates, you can also see what they see, hear what they hear and feel what they feel. So the opportunity is limitless.
Imagine what it can do to a quadriplegic (handiccaped).

They get to feel the world that they have not no longer able to. You can also get them to go to work. Do many works for you. You get them to scale mountains which you dare not doing so and if fated scribe that you to fall, then discard the surrogate. The real human is safely stays at home.
But where does the world go from here. So one day, one by one the real human dies. This is where the film takes a switch. Much like the Star Wars, sci-fi films thrive on conspiracy theories. ‘Surrogates’ has a character named The Prophet and the prophet has many followers.
Leave the prophecy aside, the question is who kills the humans. Here you need to be cautioned. The characters in the film mixed up a lot between the ‘human’ and the ‘surrogates’ who do look, act and talk like the ‘human’. i.e. the character can die in one scene but reappear again, since the real human is still alive.
End of the film, it presents you the question whether creating the surrogate is a good idea after all.
