i felt compel to write about colossus represent the forbin project a it be still on my mind . i have a somewhat strange reaction to it . i can not remember the last time i be actually frighten by a film in the same way that i be frighten by this one . typically and my fear response only kick in when i see a potent image thrust at me quickly or when a movie use unusual and eerie sound to induce anxiety . most films tend to frighten people by this primitive jack in the box method . but the fear colossus represent the forbin project give me be the same fear i experience after read orwell 1984. it the fear of be take over . of lose personal freedom . a the colossus computer demand and action grow and become all encompass the audience reaction seem to mirror the forbin character reaction . to watch him slowly crumble in the face of what he have create be frighten because he seem so implacable for most of the movie . we put our faith in him because he react to each twist in the plot with a know smile . this be a film that get under the skin in a big way . you have to think and after watch it represent be this the way it happen . someone with good intention doesn not realize the full extent of what he create ( whatever it may be ) and it simply blossom out of his control . a disturbing and important film .
