movie review - The Mitchells vs. The Machines

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.05.02

This is an animated flick we watched on "movie night". It features an inventive kid who struggles against a towering corporation that falls victim to its own robotic product in an AI-turns-slavemaster scenario. It's somewhat original in the way things play out and in the sorts of challenges the heroine faces and the sorts of solutions she creates.

Recommended.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
