Regarding artificial intelligence in fiction, whether it is in books or movies, one of the greatest and most popular examples is the HAL 9000. The fiction character HAL 9000 is a heuristically programmed algorithmic computer and stars in the 1968 classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. In fact, the HAL 9000 just may be the most “true to life” or realistic artificial intelligent computer in all of fiction. Some may argue that this character is a good example of “Strong AI”, or strong artificial intelligence
empty, which Kubrick displays very well. His computer, HAL 9000, is one of the most popular computers in my opinion. HAL 9000 is a big machine, and speaks like we expect machines to speak, and is apparently designed to have some emotion. HAL 9000 was built to be invincible with very little flaws and that characteristic is typical to be put in movies, illustrating the point that often movies have too much faith and trust in machines. HAL 9000 was designed to f...
Today life seems unimaginable without technology. We depend on it for things like; keeping in touch with family, getting back and forth to work, protecting our homes from intrusion, and propelling the economy, just to name a few. As marvelous as technology is it can have unintended consequences that can be profound. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a science fiction film released in 1968 directed by Stanley Kubrick. The film examines the human relationship with technology in depth. Arthur C. Clark wrote

Aboard the ship Discovery were 2 awake men, David Bowmen and Frank Poole, 4 in stasis, awaiting the the arrival of Saturn, and the Hal 9000 computer, which served as the main computer that operated most functions on the ship.
The analysed sequence is from 2001 A Space Odyssey (USA 1968; Stanley Kubrick). The computer HAL is malfunctioning and tries to get rid of the crewmembers.

In 1962 MGM (Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Films) released “How The West Was Won”, projected in a movie theater with three panels that needed to be projected by three different movie projectors at the same time. In a time where the classic western genre was about to be extinct. This ambitious project filmed by three different directors ended in a huge success, and it made investors believe that the movie industry could compete with the TV. Kubrick was obsessed, around the 1950’s, with Sci-Fi hits one after
Contraptions and fiction invented by human beings that hold the fabric of society together. It is the job of the leader to make the fiction work for the good of all. The quote above evokes the overall feeling about kingship held by both Prince Hal and his father in Shakespeare's Henry plays. Being a leader is perhaps the most difficult position one can ever attain. And in the same vein that King Henry IV says this above line, so does his son King Henry V offer this lament: The slave
Circular Life(When The Legends Die) When the Legends Die, by Hal Borland, is a novel in which traces the life of Tom Black Bull from a young Indian boy to an older, mature adult. Thus meaning When the Legends Die is a bildungsroman.

His life is filled with many obstacles and affected by many people positively and negatively. Throughout the story
Falstaff's Influence on Prince Hal in I Henry IV In Shakespearean histories, there is always one individual who influences the major character and considerably advances the plot. In I Henry IV by William Shakespeare, Falstaff is such a character. Sir John Falstaff is perhaps the most complex comic character ever invented. He carries a dignified presence in the mind's eye; and in him, we recognize our internal admiration and jealousy of the rebellious dual personality

Interested in a movie that will entertain, while also bring attention to an important social issue; therefore, Shallow Hal (2001) is the perfect movie. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrely, the movie revolves around the life of Hal, who is portrayed by Jack Black. The plot begins with a traumatic event during Hal’s childhood that subconsciously dictates his decisions throughout the movie. That event was the death of his father, who in his deathbed encouraged his son to live superficially and never

My favorite movie, Green Lantern directed by Martin Campbell, is a Science fiction and action movie that shows the life of a human test plane pilot, Hal Jordan, who became a member of an Intergalactic police force called Green Lantern Intergalactic Corps after receiving a green ring from a dying non-human creature. The green ring he received, used his will as source of energy and allowed him
Hamlet's punning retort "I am too much in the 'son,'" in answer to Claudius's unctuous question at J.ii.64, And now my cousin Hamlet, and my son, How is it that the clouds still hang on you? - and recalling Falstaff's apostrophe to Prince Hal: "Shall the blessed sun of heaven prove a micher and eat blackberries? a question not to be asked. Shall the son of England prove a thief and take purses? a question to be asked," is it not obvious that Hamlet here means by "Sunne" the sun or son

gives the reader the opportunity to view the timeless duplicity of a politician in Prince Hal of Henry IV, Part 1. Instead of presenting a rather common hero, Shakespeare sharpens the both sides of the sword and makes Hal a deceitful prince. In order to portray accurately the treachery and fickleness of Hal, Shakespeare must provide Hal with models to follow, rivals to defeat, and a populace to convince. Although Hal would not have to grovel for votes from England's populace to become king, he does understand

The King belives that to effectively lead the country one needs to lead by example. According to the King's philosophy the best man is the one who lives a pure life and garners respect and honor from all men. To the King's way of thinking Hotspur is more fit to be a King than Prince Hal, a comparison the
eager to find out what happens next. Even though the hero of the play is Prince Henry, or Hal as we know him, the reader may find themselves more focused on Falstaff, one of the other major characters that Shakespeare created for comical relief. He was a witty, self-conscious, self-centered companion of the Prince. King Henry even criticized his eldest son for keeping company with such a low man. Even though Hal is the hero of the play both in both the tragic and the comic part, Falstaff is a main character
