![]() Throughout the movie, Aura seems to become more childish, and relies more and more on her mother. ![]() When the cool mom returns home, her greatest gripe is that this man who is staying in her house is not even sleeping with Aura. And he’s the sort of bad guest who complains and makes suggestions. He, too, is using her for her hospitality. So of course she invited him to stay in her mom’s house with her while her mom was away. She met him at a party, invited him to see a movie, and found out that he was broke. He has a hit youtube channel, where he stars in videos in which he rides a toy horse and quotes Nietzsche. ![]() Meanwhile, a young video maker she met at a party is staying with her. Aura also falls in with the two types of men all women should avoid, egoists and men who quote Nietzsche. Her best friend from when she was a young child, Charlotte, lives in the neighborhood, and they quickly develop the sort of obsessive friendship that causes Charlotte to be jealous of all Aura’s other friends. But living with her mother is the perfect opportunity for her to “figure things out,” meaning hang out with fascinating yet unsavory people. She stays with her mother for a few weeks as a stop-gap measure before her friend moves to town and they can get an apartment. Tiny Furniture stars Lena Dunham as Aura, a young woman who has just graduated college in Ohio and has returned to New York with no idea what she is going to do with her future. It also helps when mom has a stocked wine cabinet and a freezer full of frozen appetizers. One can always move back in with her mother, provided that her mother is really cool, lives in New York City, and is rarely home. The worst thing that can happen to a person after graduating college is to have to enter the adult world. This outside world, although visually not as fantastic as Oz, is nonetheless more compelling for its ability to While the women remain unaware of the imminent devise of the Earth, the men find a way to get a supercomputer into their house, and play video games in such a way as to save the world. The family consists of men who are vocal but passive, and women who are assertive, yet spend much of their time and energy in the kitchen. The film does not entirely center around Oz, it mainly centers around the family, which has come together to celebrate the 90 th birthday of its matriarch. Said owner is about 11 years old, but can type really quickly. Luckily, by visiting his friend’s family’s house in the countryside, Kenji coincidentally is in the same house with the creator of the AI and the coolest fighting rabbit avatar owner that Oz has to offer. ![]() It was never meant to be evil, it just got out of hand. A note about this AI: it was created at “a robotics school in Pittsburgh,” and bought by the US government. This includes martial arts sparring, which ends up being a venue for attempting to take down the evil AI that overtakes people’s accounts. In it any function that one would ever conceive to do online can be done. The entire space is reminiscent of Takashi Murakami‘s work, blending cuteness, commercialism, and manga to create a coherent alternate reality. Oz is a wildly colorful, neon pastel-on-white wonderland of wacky animal avatars. So, if a hacker with bad intentions were to access this site, he could disrupt all aspects of life, from traffic signals to medical information to defense. This means that not only is credit card information on the internet, but also launch codes to nuclear missiles and global positioning systems for satellites. The internet in Summer Wars, called Oz, is basically an ultra facebook on which people store all their information, conduct their business, and run their jobs. To take back the internet from this AI before disaster hits, Kenji must use pure math to decrypt numerical sequences at break-neck pace, hence causing a nosebleed. In so doing, he inadvertently allows an AI to take over not only his account, but a variety of other online functions. He manages to decrypt it in a single night, thinking it is an amusing puzzle. He receives a message on his cell phone that is a string of digits. This boy, Kenji Koiso, is a math prodigy, and, as with most young geniuses, is shy and nervous around girls. ![]() Have you ever done math so hard that your nose bled? Summer Wars, a Japanese animated film, is about a young boy who goes on vacation to meet his friend’s family and finds himself accidentally enabling an evil AI to overtake the internet. ![]()
