It becomes a scary thought when you think people are online purposely being deceptive to gain some personal benefit. Catfish are often looking for romantic relationships because they feel insecure, but people are also trying to use catfishing to scam vulnerable users.

The line in #readyplayerone about the 300-pound dude named Chuck expresses the risks of online interactions. The line is referring to someone being a 'Catfish'. A catfish is when someone creates a false identity online. #bcm325

#readyplayerone really explores the concept of escapism.
It seeks to distract and relieve unpleasant realities by giving the characters like Wade Watts entertainment by engaging in fantasy.
It reminds me of playing 'Sims' but on a much smaller scale.#bcm325

The contest and easter eggs, shows just how much James Halliday loves playing games. He's risking anyone winning control of his whole life's work and the massive fortune that comes with it. #bcm325 #readyplayerone

#readyplayerone the iconic 'Delorean' is a nostalgia trip. #bcm325

For example, the IOI corporation uses any method to track down the players they consider threats and eliminates them. #bcm325 #readyplayerone

Large organizations, like governments and corporations, do not have a conscience (moral sense of right and wrong) and thus are often willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Humanity's use of a digital world (The OASIS) to escape a ruined organic one, is a thought-provoking interpretation of the future and present-day culture. #bcm325 #readyplayerone

#readyplayerone's opening scene is one of my favourites. Graphic animation, narration, the soundtrack. It's just simply cool. #bcm325

If Alita still has an organic human brain and a cyborg body and her body will last forever. How long will her brain last? forever as well? #bcm325 #alitabattleangel

[Ruby Jones @Rubyyjjones]

Oh ok, Alita's decision to cut Hugo's head off to save him. Gruesome and violent yet when done for love, it's kind of passionate. A hard decision, let the one you love die or save him by giving him a robotic life he doesn't want. #bcm325 #alitabattleangel

#Alita has to eat to provide nutrients to her (still organic) brain, but she would need a complete digestive system to break the food down into nutrients and absorb them into her bloodstream to reach her brain. #bcm325

[Ruby Jones @Rubyyjjones]

#Alita goes through two cybernetic bodies during the film. Her cyborg body was advanced including a location-sensitive sense of touch.

Touch-sensitive technology today is pretty advanced. One example is illuminance technology that displays touch. #bcm325

[Ruby Jones @Rubyyjjones]

Anthropomorphism involves non-human things displaying literal human traits and being capable of human behaviour. By giving Alita a love interest and her ability to show emotion makes her feel more human than machine. #bcm325 #alitabattleangel

The future will see more professionals like Dr Dyson Ido, a tech-physician specialising in prosthetic work for the badly injured and repairs for the cyborgs and andro-cyborgs #bcm325 #alitabattleangel

#Alita resembles a gorgeous Alaskan whalebone sculpture but under stress, she intuitively reactivates her “Panzer Kunst” fighting skills and has flash backs to her career as a soldier for the United Republics of Mars.

Muscle memory is incredible #bcm325

[Ruby Jones @Rubyyjjones]

In Alita’s world: Cybernetics isn’t just for killers and athletes. Remarkably there's a variety of technology, and the filmmakers integrated it into the bustling multicultural city, in ways as simple as a street musician playing a double guitar with three arms.#bcm325

[Ruby Jones @Rubyyjjones]

#alitabattleangel is based on Yukito Kishiro’s 1990s manga series 'Battle Angel Alita'. The film is set in a distant future following a devastating war that levelled all but one of Earth’s great floating cities. #bcm325

[Ruby Jones @Rubyyjjones]

The post-credit scene, shows Jonah Hill climbing out of the rubble back on Earth, trying to post pictures via social media on his now-useless phone. This concept that even if the world ends the first thing we'd do is try and use our phones #bcm325 #dontlookup

[Ruby Jones @Rubyyjjones]

Interesting to read that the movie’s director, Adam McKay, said he was inspired to write the movie by his burgeoning terror about the climate crisis. And then the pandemic happened. #bcm325 #dontlookup
