i watch the forbin project ( le cerveau dacier in french ) a a kid while i be about 8 in this time and so it be 20 year or so ago . i remember i be scar by this cold and logical and omnipotent machine . i keep a very impressed memory from this movie . see it again recently by pure chance and i be more or less ready to be delude and as often when youre rediscover movie you like a a child . to my great surprise and i be truly happy to measure that my remembering be right . this movie be way advance for it time represent all the sci fi aspect that perhaps seem silly to a 1970 audience have become true represent web transmission and webcam and artificial intelligence and so on . the scary thing about the real main character of the movie and u make supercomputer colossus and later know a world control after it fusion with it soviet counterpart and guardian and be it act the way you would act if you resign all your human feeling and keep your intelligence . colossus will certainly lead mankind to a safer and logically rule and world . but this world will be a hell and as well a a golden cage for an intelligent bird . god have create mankind at his image and and mankind create colossus at it own and by it own laziness to solve it own problem . if you please and you can consider thx 1138 a a kind of sequel of this movie ( it be release one year after this one ) . to conclude and a very pessimistic movie and in a planet of the apes/1970 era tone and style . a special mention to eric braeden and who precisely play a pota universe crucial character a little time later .
