Simulacrum in S1M0Ne Movie
What are the things people call real? What are the requirements of reality to make sense? These questions are in the category of:”You shouldn't have to ask that questions!” Why on earth asking these type of questions instead of relying common sense anyway? Common sense is learned habit for humanity through the ages that makes us feel relieved because of the security blanket of us called: “I cannot be the only one who believes this!” I call it “chaotic simplicity”. It is chaotic because learned behaviors take time to depend on like; religion. People once had to break their traditional habits to adapt new ones, a new God. It is simple because people pathetically need to believe. It is best option to follow in order to get answers of incomprehensible systems. It is as simple as Maslow's hierarchy of human nature: need belonging and get acceptance from others. As my favorite quotation of Matrix suggested: “Ignorance is bliss.” So not questioning is our business. French theorist Baudrillard have suggested; our so called real world consist of the imitations and simulations that reflect reality that humanity rely on. Ironically, I learned the ideas of him in the simulation version of his original work. The theory is impressively roaring because of the miniature copy that I rely on to support my ideas may even derived from some kind of artificial fact. So here comes another question: “Does reality create artificial intelligence or other way around?” The movie S1m0ne is about interpretation of perfection for people. In the movie, Al Pacino created a computer program called S1m0ne and he tried hard to make Simone flawless and he succeeded it because all the people sooner or later became a huge fan of the new celebrity Simone without seeing her. The absence of physical appearance of Simone, doesn't effect her fans because they admire her as a role model and sarcastically call her magnificent and absolutely unreal, she is not of this Earth.
