             This movie is about a man who falls in love with computer operating system in the foreseeable future. Because OS was designed to be perfectly suitable to main character, Theodore, by using highly developed artificial intelligence, it can be a perfect girlfriend to him without limitation of time and place. After see this movie, instead of technological question, a question about limitation of the form of love was come up, because Theodore and OS, Samantha, could sustain their love without physical entity. Furthermore, Samantha was even hard to define as individual entity which can really feel the emotion of love. From the beginning, she was apparently not the subject like a person who lives own life following own purpose and her reason of being is Theodore’s convenience by accomplishing his demand, which means she is not independent consciousness. This movie gives profound question about the form of ideal love that true love can be valid or not when both lovers recognize each other not as objective existence only for their own demand, but as independent existence,.

Nymphomaniac means a woman who addicted to sex, and it is regarded as disease because the desire of sex is so high that normal daily life is not possible. This movie follows her experiences about sex life that she tells to the other man who saved her, Seligman. When I first heard about this movie, I thought it is about forbidden filthy sexuality that is commonly suppressed during the whole life, but the story line was totally different as I expected and much skeptical about humanity. If someone was naturally born with sexuality that is not acceptable for normal society, the person has to live the whole life fighting against inner desire; otherwise the person cannot be received as a normal member of society. The main character, Joe, did not hesitate to follow her desire about sex and her action was not liberation of humanity. It seems that her desire is like the original sin that cannot be avoided and her tragedy related to sexual desire is also inevitable.





3.   Edge of tomorrow
Director: Doug Liman
Genres: Sci-Fi, Drama, Fantasy
Release: 06 June, 2014






             The background of this movie is near future when aliens attack the earth, so there is a war between armed human and alien invaders which seems not to be over for a long time. Even though the main character, Major William Cage, is an officer without ability for physical battle, he is sent to the frontier area of brutal combat as punishment and he gets a time-loop power inexplicably after he was killed by an alien. When I see that he is getting better and better in battle by living the same day over and over again, I envied his power because I can live a day without worry about mistake. If I have the time-loop power, I can fix all my mistakes during a day simply by suicide and I can live my life once again perfectly as I expect.
