17/03/16- Dialogue

From out last meeting one of the things we discussed was the dialogue. I started to brainstorm some ideas but the one that stuck out for me was

"Revolutions are a fight between the future and the past. We are the Future! And we intend to clean out the past."

This was for the first part where the Synth overlord is on the laptop screen talking to the man. I figured that the Humans represent the past because they have at this stage had their chance to rule over earth, but fail at this and the Synths take it upon themselves as the representation of the future to clean the wrong doings of the Humans. Very much like in real life how we constantly screw things up and hey we only have one planet, but we don't do a very good job of looking after it.

Later on when we see the synth assassin come in the overlord from the T.V said

"You call us Synths, but we are so much more!"

While I was trying to figure out what he says, I had to find out what these lifeforms were called I juggled a few options such as, Golems, Automatons, Sentinels and Androids to name a few. However I felt Synths worked the best because the word embodies this idea of Techno organic forms very well.

Later on when the man opens his eyes and they appear red and mechanical I thought instead of " we will be slaves no longer!" simply repeating "We are the Future!" from the overlord is a confirmation that he is now one of them.
