November 2016 is going to be tough.
Many exams so these will be the only films I'll be watching this month.
It's a coincidence the films I watched in the beginning of the month seems to connect with the psychological aspects related to memory and mind, from a children's film of a fish having "Short term memory loss" to a documentary on global digital oblivion of losing digitized data and information due to technological obsoletes.
Anyway these were extremely entertaining and I'll put them down to this blog.
Finding Dory (2016)
As a sequel to the Pixar and Disney's "Finding Nemo"(2003) the adventure continues when Dory sequentially starts to cure her short term memory loss and starts looking for her parents. This unravels an unforgettable adventure eventually leading to an emotional ending like the predecessor.
The start of the film was dull and boring but eventually when the mystery unravels the story gets more interesting and fun.
Animations and sound are colourful and unforgettable.
Sigourney Weaver's cameo is fun and groundbreaking in entertainment wise.
Characters like Bailey, Hank, Destiny and the sea lion Gerald lights the story amazingly.
A really emotional and good sequel for the animation film genre.
Overall - 3.5/5
Digital Amnesia (2014)
This 50 minute VPRO back light documentary radically discusses an unknown issue to the public related to global data and information slippage due to the technological obsolescence and will cover many sustainable solutions from many experts in the field of digital data recovery.
The issues of risk of loosing digital data due to the vulnerability, the drastic changes occurred in the digital world and also with destruction of physical library due to over reliance in online data can be analyzed in the relevant documentary.
It is Jason Scott, a digital historian and a tech savant who also takes part in this documentary to discuss on the "mass information losses" in the web and in the digital media due to it's risk and his solution is as an independent party is to provide an online tool of "Archive Team Warrior", a data protector tool which will compress and and will put in a global database to protect data and any individual can join in as a social service. His image is given above.
Likewise many individuals and teams have joined hands to fight against the "Digital Amnesia" and are appearing in the documentary.
- Mr. Brewster Kahle : Founder of Internet Archive and Physical Archive
This entity will protect all the books and other physical media and archive in the Internet to protect and stop digital amnesia to establish data and information protection.
- Mr. Dennis Wing - McMoon project
This team is trying to protect videos from the earliest moon landing videos from NASA to maintain a digital video library to establish data and information protection without data obsoleting.
- Mr. Ismail Serageldin - Director : Library of Alexandria
He initiated a book purchase from a 250 year old library shredding of a dutch institute to be stopped and maintained in Egypt as a safety measure to implement a Anti-Digital amnesia project.
- The Long now foundation
They have build "The Rosetta Disk" which contains microscopic information inbuilt to the relevant metal to maintain sustainable information for the future historians. And also as a symbol of sustainability "Millennium Clock" is built.
Any way an amazing documentary covering an unknown part of the human aspect of memory and future of information.
Overall - 4/5
See you soon......
