>.Perhaps you remember Sagan's Contact, in which a protest movement started,
opposing sending Arroway to contact the aliens.  It is worth reviewing that
40 yr old movie.  Replace ET with AI.  After all these years I STILL have a
desperate crush on Ellie Arroway.  I am not alone in that.  Fun real life
story involving SETI founder, available on request..spike

 

 

 

 

Correction 30 yr old movie.  Sagan's book is 40.  

 

I am disappointed in the movie in a way.  Foster as Arroway gave the
performance of her life, which is saying a lot because she is a terrific
actress.  But the rest of the actors were unconvincing.  The script writers
missed a huge opportunity to write in video of Sagan talking about SETI.  He
had already perished by the time they made the movie, but we had plenty of
material on video they coulda inserted.  Failing that, plenty of good
impersonators could have played him, and made him a science advisor.
