[Close Reading: Humans and High Technology]

Here are the seven scenes you may choose from for your close reading next week. Again, you will be examining the ways in which humans interact with technology in a scene from a film via Aristotle's logos, pathos, or ethos. The goal is to closely analyze the scene and in order to reveal new levels of understanding. We will discuss how this is done in class this week.

"We Made You Cause We Could" from Prometheus (Ridley Scott, 2012)


"Mr. Eddie Vedder from Accounting" from Hackers (Iaine Softley, 1995)


"The Duel" from Electric Dreams (Steve Barron, 1984)

"Do You Know How to Get Out of Here?" from Her (Spike Jonze, 2013)—NSFW

"Dinosaurs Had Their Shot" from Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg, 1993)


"I May Throw Up on Ya" from Star Trek (JJ Abrams, 2009)


"Mecha, Orga" from A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg, 2001)
