Creepy or Not?

       The film, "Be Right Back", was very creepy to for to watch. When Martha would tell Ash 2 to leave, Ash 2 would start to walk out but Martha told him that the real Ash would sit there and fight with her and not leave the room. "Be Right Back" is a greta example of the uncanny valley. Martha lets the Ash 2 have access to everything that the Ash 1 had access to. Ash 2 had the same features and got to talk on the phone with Martha. Was Ash 2 better than Ash 1 in the bed? Yes he was, since he searched the internet for porn. Martha had still found Ash 2 to be creepy in ways. Martha's daughter had suspected that Ash 2 was not the real Ash because the daughter had told Ash 2 that she cut him a piece of food even though she knew that he didn't eat. Martha also suspected a creepy thing, she had told Ash 2 that it was creepy that he did not close his eyes at night to go to sleep. He had told Martha that he did not sleep because he is not human.
        The uncanny valley has given me an answer to the reasons why I can not watch a lot of animated movies. When I was little, I did not pay attention to the characters as much as I do now watching the movies. The characters in the movies a look so real to being like humans that it is not funny. I think that if they had not ran a test run on the film "Shrek" then it would look more creeper than what it already does. I know that i am not a big fan of the film "Shrek". Also, in the film the "Polar Express" the main character, the little boy, was so creepy to me that I was not able to watch the film. The little boy looked to much like a human to me when I knew that it was an animated character and also the lighting during the movie had made it a little weird also.
