Be Right Back? More Like Stay Where You're At!

Be Right Back sent all types of chills down my spine. Overall, the message was great showing how a person reacted to such advanced technology, even predictable. Let me tell you why:

For starters, the film starts off with Ash being glued to his phone as if it was embedded in his hand. This is exactly what modern society looks like: people on their phones all the time. It showed his phone as sort of an addiction because he could not keep it out of his sight. His cellphone also intervened with his face to face time with his girlfriend. He would nod and agree with anything to say he heard her but in reality, he wasn't listening. It gets predictable when he leaves and doesn't answer her phone calls. I knew it was coming. Besides, she didn't go with him to tell him to put his phone in the "glove box" to keep away the distraction. I'm assuming he was in a car accident because of him using his cellphone while driving (plus it was raining). But that's just an assumption. Then, as the film progress, things get exciting, but then creepy...like super creepy.

I was amazed at the electronic painting canvas. That was a amazing. Even the laptop where she could swipe her hand in front of the screen and make things disappear without even touching the screen. HOW AMAZING IS THAT? But of course, when technology progress to the extreme, that is then where I draw the line like nope. Un uh. I mean I am not opposed to someone talking to an operator with the voice of their deceased loved one. Everyone has their own way of grieving. In fact, Martha depicted all 5 stages of grief throughout the entire film. She showed signs of denial when she agreed to communicate with the software of Ash 2. Isolation came when she would stay at home and not answer her sister's calls. She began to bargain with Ash 2 by telling him what he should do because Ash 1 would do it. She even went beyond the highest level and had intercourse with him. She placed herself in a depression mode after being so angry with trying to replicate Ash 1 until she finally accepted his death and started to keep Ash 2 inside the attic with all the other old memories. I learned a lot in the film but mostly how technology advanced to such levels I never knew could exist. This basically was like a build-a-bear workshop, but instead a build-a-human workshop but not so much. The one thing that makes us all human was what Ash 2 lacked: imperfection. Not being perfect is what makes us human. Since Ash 2 was the "perfect" version of Ash 1, he could not be truly human. Ash 2 may have been Ash 1, but only an electronic version of him. Nothing more, nothing less.💋
