A traumatized sex trafficking victim develops an Ai beyond his immediate comprehension. The Ai's task is to discover and report. Read on for hidden life lessons in this movie.
- Unconscious innovations
Gareth mentions that he had a chance breakthrough in the development of Cherry, an Ai which later turns out to be more intelligent than expected. In reality, several innovations have been developed by chance. This chance or unconscious innovations are quite similar to the concept of DNA programming explained in other movie reviews and the eBooks on this website. The concept posits that humanity is programmed to carry memories and skills through time via reincarnation. For example, the idea that superhuman abilities of primitive times are later modernized into technology e.g. flying into aeronautic engineering. These occurrences of subconscious innovations imply that humanity is still an evolving specie with a lot to achieve in the future. Subconscious innovations that can't be fully explained probably and most likely still exists.
- The enemy within
Have you ever had a plan and later it gets sabotaged to your utter amazement? Amos represents an enemy within in this movie, although for a good cause, he voted against the implementation of the team's plan, even though he had been a part of the planning committee. In reality, that close friend of yours could be an envious person positioned to sabotage your progress. The kind of friend who would introduce you to hard drugs, weeks before your entrance examination. Be careful who you let hang around you, for iron sharpens iron.
- The scourge of sex trafficking
The movie's main theme is tackling sex trafficking and child kidnapping schemes using Ai as a supportive tool. Like we reviewed in the movies 'Angels of the Sun' and 'No child of mine', child sex trafficking and kidnapping is a scourge a major stain in our humanity. We should try to be more responsible towards our kids and environment. There are people who patronize these schemes and that's why they still exist. A child who hasn't even developed sex appeal, a minor, its quite disgusting.
- A lack of love
Cherry's outburst at the end about being exploited for the sole purpose of uncovering pedophiles is touching. She expresses a state of emptiness from being involved with such sadistic practices, she expresses a willingness to explore life, passion, to be loved for her own individuality. Yes, love, freewill to love is one of the most important human attribute. Humans, are mini or demi-Gods, we carryout the physical aspect of creation's plan and that inbuilt creativity gives us an undying need for self-expression. As Cherry becomes more human, she yearns towards a need for self-expression.
- A subtle euphemism
The entire movie is a subtle euphemism for complaining about the practices of sexual entrapment and enslavement. While Gareth is a traumatized sex trafficking victim, his Ai creation, Cherry also represents the control over women. In this perspective, the ICWL represents a system that enslaves little Cherry who's quite harmless. In the closing scenes of the movie, Cherry is hooked to power cables a symbol of women being puppet stringed by the system. Thankfully, Gareth grants her autonomy, freedom in the end. May our women be free to express their innate desires in a way that doesn't go against creations plan, in a way that aligns with our true humanity and helps us restore balance and progress to the world.
