Discussion Questions
- There are some obvious questions specific to the film that we will deal
with in class. The questions I’d like you to think about in advance are as
follows:
- What is the role of technology in the film? Is it under human control?
- Which characters in the film are the most effective? Which are the sanest?
Can any of the characters in the film be related to real historical
individuals? (Hint: one is mentioned in the Edwards reading).
- What can we learn from the attitudes to technology shown here that may
explain the development and adoption of computer technology elsewhere?
- How is the conflict in this film different from that in World War II (less
than twenty years earlier)? Do you agree that this transition deservers to be
called “revolutionary”?
