Continuing my series of posts about androids in movies

This time I'm watching Android (1982). Thank you @robotrightsactivist for recommendation.

This movie can be easily found on YouTube

Link here

Below are just my thoughts as I watch it in real time, not much analysis here, just pure reaction

The movie just started and our android guy Max is already watching some educational porn, then lying about it to his master (dr Daniel).

Perhaps dorky way of walking is one of those things people often associate with androids, it's not the first time I see it.

It's only 12'th minute and Max is already acting like a creep towards the first woman he just met (Maggie). So far it's hard to imagine Maggie falling for this.

So this gang of three people (one of which is this woman Maggie) decided to crush on Max's and dr Daniel's space ship, as Max basically saved them from dying on their own, and they act so damn entitled. Like why are they so mean to someone who just saved their asses? :(

Maggie and this other dude from the gang are in some toxic as hell relationships. I guess there's not much to choose from in outer space, but uh...

OH, once again, this thing when android is able to flawlessly imitate someone else's voice!!

Our dude is mentally just a kid. Or at least, it's more comfortable to think about him as a kid rather than horny freak.

I'll be honest, without subtitles with this quality of sound it's pretty difficult at times to understand the hell are they saying.

The master wasn't pleased to know Max let some random 3 people get on the ship

I feel sorry for Maggie. She's surrounded only by men, and all of them are fucking freaks, including now dr Daniel.

Like is this some kind of a timeline when women are so rare to meet or why is everyone acting so weird?

Oh, 1 of 3 of them recognised Max as an android.

dr Daniel is a fucking creep who secretly watches woman changing. Gross.

So far Maggie and this other dude(who's not her toxic bf, the other one) are the only two I sympathize with.

I can't get over the fact how those 3 are screaming at the top of their lungs about their plans to kill the two owners of the ship and blow off the place. If there are cameras everywhere, why isn't dr Daniel listening to them at THOSE moments instead of just stalking at how Maggie changes?

Off, sorry Max, you're obsolete, only half an hour into the film ;^(

*Emotional shock*

Damn, our man Max just learned to be passive aggressive:

dr. Daniel: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Max: "Maybe you did a miscalculation in my circuit, sir"

I hope they'll kill dr Daniel after all, the man is nasty

I respect Maggie for staying this calm after hearing the kind of bullshit dr Daniel had in his mind, I'd slap the man, no I'd PUNCH him.

Max, wtf, dude just blew up some space police ship

I think our gal Maggie has a fetish.

Man, this definition of what "date" is is not only homophobic, but just factually wrong.

This scene tho:

Maggie (about female android): it's warm..

Max: her temperature is regulated in much the same way as yours.

Maggie: But...sh- it isn't...

Max: alive?

Max: Yes, she is alive. As you are. Or I am...

Oh, apparently she didn't know Max's an android. Fuck, my bad, apparently she was attracted to just awkwardly goofy dude.

Keller is the only character in this movie who isn't a creep nor an asshole, it seems.

What we do for love is beyond good and evil.

Love the quote ^^

Yes, Kassandra, tell him. Teach mf the meaning of the word "consent"

Rooting for her to kill the old fuck.

Okay, let Max kill him instead, that's also fine

OH, OH SHIT!

I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT

Damn, this final twist made it all worth it.

I wonder if dr Daniel did the same thing Max did at the end, and there was someone else before him as well. I wonder if he deleted that from his memory.

Shit, I didn't expect this ending. I thought that the idea of androids fighting for their rights wasn't really seen as something that could be the right thing in the 80's, I kinda assumed it was always portrayed as this morally grey area with mostly being viewed as something threatening and requiring elimination, but here it's pretty unambiguously good ending (although with some remarks, like Maggie).

If you want to suggest me next move to watch about androids, go ahead.

In a funny way, sometimes making androids in a story more human makes them more unnerving, not less. There was a moment in first Blade runner movie at the begging where Deckard's employer is briefing him about latest cases, and within that conversation he mentions that one of the androids got identified as an android not even upon dying, but THREE HOURS into the autopsy

(ignore the name Holden in the script below, this information was moved from Holden to Bryant in the final movie. Not the point)

I think about it often. Somehow this piece of information makes it so much more unnerving compared to a hypothetical AU where those androids would be visibly androids, with some entirely different kind of "filling"beneath their skin.

The potential for a AI to control actually flesh somehow brings it from sci-fi into some kind of a body horror in its own.

Don't get me wrong, I like both. But somehow flesh body(insides) is more unnerving for an android than the one made from wires, plastic, metal and stuff like that
