>Klara (Jenna Ortega) is a solar-powered “Artificial Friend” purchased by Christine (Amy Adams) to keep her sick daughter Josie (Mia Tharia) company. Christine disapproves of Josie choosing Klara, as she is an older model, and tells Klara that if she makes a mistake while under warranty, Christine will not hesitate to return her to the store, where she will be broken down for parts for newer models. Klara and Josie soon develop a singular bond, and when Josie’s condition worsens, Klara embarks on a journey to ask the Sun, whom she believes to be a living entity, to save Josie’s life.https://www.vanityfair.com/story/klara-and-the-sun-first-look-taika-waititi-jenna-ortega
>>221218810Nah.
Sounds like some shit a middle schooler would come up with. A smart middle schooler you'd want to encourage wholeheartedly so they can cringe with you about this shit when they get older and better at writing.
>>221218810Taika Cohen sucks.
M3GAN but more serious and emotional?I like the plot it sounds like some olde timey fairy tale or something
>>221218810This dude went full retard, fr. Too much coke.
Sounds boring and gay
>>221218810First half sounded like it took some parts from A.I (the film)
>>221218810>Taika Waititi>sci-fiRemember when he was in the discussion (inofficially) to direct a Star Wars film?Would have loved to see those fanboy man-children lose their shit. If they already freaked out about Rian Johnson's supposed "subversion", imagine what they'd have said about Whytitty actually ridiculing their "legacy" and "canon" just for the sake of being funny.
>>221218810>solar powered artificial friendglobohomo magic realism
The book was pretty good, looking forward to seeing it.
>>221218810>will return older model for scrapMassive plot hole. Already know it will be shit writing all the way through.
>>221218865Kek this.
>>221219099Explain.
>>221218827This looks like Starwars directed by West Anderson.
>>221218865It's a Kazuo Ishiguro novel. Very good in case you are one of the 5% of posters on /tv/ who can read a whole novel. Ishiguro also wrote Never Let Me Go which he won the Nobel for and has a movie adaptation that is ludokino.The visual style in the adaptation really doesn't look right though. Seemed very clear in the book to me it was mostly set in rural Britain, almost pastoral sci fi. >>221220773Yes, this. I hate how this looks does not match the book at all.
>another bomb that will be universally pannedJust another day at the office for /ourgirl/
>>221218810Taikka Waititi sucks
>>221221904I personally didnt super like it, felt like a repeat of never let me go. The description also makes me fear they arent gonna do it justice because it was more a critique of how modern societies dont care for things deeply and how we throw away objects without a care. And instead the movie focuses on the relationship of the girl and the robot.
can. you. fuck. it.?
>>221219090I thought the book was not one of his best.Got off to a good start but after the halfway mark it felt very rushed. It might have been a deliberate creative choice but it wasn't a good one. Also, I absolutely do not buy the idea that any parent would console themselves of a child's death by having a creepy ageless robot clone stalking round their house.
>>221222233She doesnt die though...
>>221218827>>221220773Getting a lot of Andrew Wyeth, Simon Stalenhag, Star Wars, Boss Baby vibes from this one
>>221221904>Ishiguro also wrote Never Let Me Go which he won the Nobel forNobel Prizes aren't awarded for singular works, dummy
>>221222244shhh!anyway, that was the direction the story was going in if she had. they took Klara to a sculptor to have her made up to look like the daughter.thinking about it the first half of the book was really fucking good.
>>221221904Agreed that it doesn't look anything like I imagined it would while reading the novel. Filmatizations suck anyway, so it doesn't bother me to skip this. I also implore anons who can read to read Klara and the Sun. It's great.
>>221218810questioncan jennabots be purchased for sexual reasons or are they just to befriend sick kids
>>221221904>almost pastoral sci fi.Like Womb?
>>221222272he won the Nobel prize for literature in 2017 after the book was published thoughbeit
>>221222332He won it 12 years after the book was published, poopbrains
>>221222303Oh yeah thats true, but imo it was another critique of how we throw away things quickly and seek replacements for it instead of cherishing things.
>>221222327in the book they are visibly robotic, I always imagined something like the little robot maids in Phantasy Star Universe. No orifices or sex mode, you degenerate
>>221222385then why the fuck would they make the jennabot so pretty? don't blame me blame the robot company
>>221222347I said "after the book was published" and that's a factually correct statement
>>221221904> Very good in case you are one of the 5% of posters on /tv/ who can read a whole novel. This is because 99.999% of novels made after 1999 belong in the trash.
>>221222416No, you said he"wrote Never Let Me Go which he won the Nobel for" but here is the citation for his Nobel Prize:>The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2017 is awarded to the English author Kazuo Ishiguro “who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world”.He also wrote another novel The Buried Giant in 2015 so according to your dumdum logic he won the Nobel Prize in 2017 for The Buried Giant.
>>221222416>>221222484Don't fight over nobel prizes, anons. Fucking Bob Dylan won it for ... basically nothing at all. It's not as if there was a particularly rigid logic behind the commitee's decisions.
Dress up your jennabot
>>221222484here is the exact text of my post above>he won the Nobel prize for literature in 2017 after the book was published thoughbeitwhich part of that statement is wrong?
>>221222692You on the left
>>221222484The Buried Giant was kino
>>221218810>Klara embarks on a journey to ask the Sun, whom she believes to be a living entity, to save Josie’s life.why wouldnt she connect to internet and find thats its not? isnt this practically the same shit as AI?
>>221218810Not watching anything with a female lead
>>221222692>thoughbeit You proved yourself a moron there. Go back
>>221222272Yes, technically you don't win the Nobel for one novel. But I've read basically everything Ishiguro has written and while it's all good, Never Let Me Go is a singular achievement. No way he would have won a nobel without that book.You are technically right thought so I guess you win the pedant competition. You get nothing for that besides a (You).
>>221218810Sounds like a dumb plot
>Taika Waititiwhy did he change his name from David Cohen?
>>221218810I read the first 100 pages of the book and dropped it. Pure slop.
>>221220660electronic stuff doesn't work like engine blocks and rebar, you can't just melt it down and get a new (thing) out of it. also presumably every new model has less backwards-compatibility, parts wise, with older models. >owner threatens to return Herbie the Love Bug to VW so he can be scrapped and made into a Bugatti
>Jenna OrtegaStopped reading.
>>221224348my thanks, noble sir
>>221218810sounds like a cool story HOWEVER I will not watch anything by that retarded niggerjew. thankfully there's still a novel to read.
>>221218810will they scissor?
