Art, the creative stuff that used to be uplifting for the soul but now is only used as a weapon against the mass consciousness.
This movie is a wet dream for the type of artist who hates God and humanity.
Essentially, a post-apocalyptic folk artist creates a rustic tin man who comes to life and tries to kill her but ends up killing most of the rest of the cast instead.
So, it is like the art itself becomes the ultimate teed-off critic who tries to kill the bad artist who gave birth to such deformity to begin with. And secretly, isn't this what all bad artists want?
Based on most of the contemporary art I see, I can only conclude in the affirmative.
The movie itself is an uneven blend of predictable "the government and corporations are out to kill us" and late eighties computer fractal art. It takes a little while to get going, and after that, it's semi-watchable, presuming you don't have a good movie to watch.
I like imagining that, now that the movie is out on DVD, that the DVD's will start to coalesce, like the liquid metal terminator, into a giant robot and go after the people responsible for its tortured existence.
But that probably wont happen so if you must have a "technology/art run amok" movie, try a good one, like Videodrome or, even, Runaway, and save this one for when you're suicidally depressed. Or for when you want to be.
