Sleeper - Hilarious robotics by Woody Allen



Enthiran, bless Rajni, has whetted my appetite for robotics! If you want ribtickling HomoRobots, you should watch this 1973 movie by Woody Allen. He not only spoofs all Sci-Fi Robot movies, he anticipates by some 4 decades the kind of meaningless robot tripe that we would pay good money to watch! The only thing a greatly intelligent movie-maker like Woody Allen does is challenge our sense of what is right, but not what is stupid.

This movie shows a man who was accidentally frozen after a failed surgery in an American hospital and revived with 2173 technology and lands in a world of chaos not very different from our crazy police states of today!
If you go to the Youtube site, you can find lots of clips of the movie in a sequence. Thanks to Shinjikun2009!
