Window Seat

[jplasse-07876 · 7/10 · 19 August 2023]

Window Seat is the first A. I. movie, and according to the trivia it is stitched together from four thousand different shots. I give it an A for effort. First thing is the talking in it is realistic. The second is the woman in it is super cute and the characters look kinda like little Lego folk.

The story or something like it actually happened about a decade ago a woman wrote a tweet in an airplane, and found out when she landed that the whole world was mad at her. The movie is dealing with the modern world.

I saw a work-in-progress in July. There is a plot about the bully that is pretty funny how it plays out. I wanted to watch it again.

Craziest movie ever made

[thecat-85388 · 6/10 · 9 October 2023]

During the screening, the director said if the movie bothers you, to close your eyes and enjoy it like a radio play. Because movie has no human voice acting in it at all. All of it is machine voices. The best part is the comedy throughout it, such as the talk show scenes and the pilot.

The wacky surrealistic scenes was reminding me of Monty Python. He said, "because A. I. can't yet make a blockbuster," he tried to make it like the black and white indies of the 1980s. It can go in any direction. The directions that it go are quite serious and funny. The dialogue is sharp and the characters funny. Good job, A. I.

Pioneering Film

[adamgha · 10/10 · 18 August 2023]

Saw this movie and really amazing achievement. The direction makes you forget it's AI often and the computer generation also creates some surreal imagery that otherwise hasn't been possible. AI films are absolutely inevitable and this gives a taste of what's to come.

I think what some people aren't realizing is that AI filmmaking democratizes filmmaking. Now anyone can create a very watchable and interesting film with minimal budget. They don't need to raise funding or go through gatekeepers.

Another thing people don't realize is how difficult it is to create such a project. AI image generation and voice requires an insane amount of hours and effort. Great achievement!

The first truly 21st century film

[glazedadvances · 10/10 · 18 March 2024]

Being the first A. I. movie one has to compare it to the AI-generated class of carnival deepfake and nightmarish shorts that came before-basically this is like Walt Disney compared to Emil Cohl-as well as what it implies about the future of filmmaking-entire films made for nothing by one single creator.

Being stitched together from 4,000 half megabyte 4 second videos generated at random, someone is concerned about the lighting. Everything it does with story, character, environment are just 'events on screen constituting a movie'. It is not just the stupidity of people like this but the sheer arrogance in which they operate. In a sense these trollish remarks underscore the achievement of the film. A. I. Is not aiming to match 'films' as you have come to understand them, but is an expression of an entirely new artform.

The film allows you to peel back the curtain and stare into a totally new world. This is not entirely about a.i. But about our fear of the future; by showing raw machine video we are seeing the terror and beauty at once of an unknown reality in front of us, the birthing pains of a new machine reality. This reflects directly on the story which is plainly Brechtian in its reaching for high theater utilizing new modes of artifice; the stylistic alienation of the uncanny visuals plays into the dissolution of the relationship. The storm, another direct metaphor. The entire world watching Thom from the plane is another tell about a future with no escape. Fourth wall breaking moments turn the glitches into moments on screen. To nitpick the technicals rather than consider them is the lowest hanging fruit, it's like kicking a baby. With everything revolving around cellphones and internet culture, you have one of the first truly 21st century films.

This is the frightening and beautiful thing about art, and "Window Seat" pushes our perception to the very the limit about what is possible, because it is not a mechanical movie at all, it is the most human possible movie.

You know what else a school bully is?

[Dsljdfosiu · 10 August 2023]

An A. I. Generated movie, coming out in the midst of a writers strike fighting against A. I. is an abysmal thing for any artist/writer/actor to think of.

Anyone who supports the arts in there right mind, should spit on this film.

This is a scab that hangs out to work, while workers on strike are fighting to keep food on their plates.

One day, maybe one day people will stop caring about what A. I. will take away from all of us, but not today.

In the event Mr. Hooroo Jackson sees this review, please do not add to the problem that we as actors/artists and writers are facing and utilize your talents for a better cause rather than feeding into the fear of Skynet.
