Modernism and The Rise Of The Machine.

This concept has been used over and over again in a wide range of Films in the 20th century . This concept implies a threat to humanity in the form of cyborgs, robots, genetic engineering, monsters and aliens there are classic examples in film are obvious (War of the Worlds, Metropolis, 2001: a Space odyssey, the Terminator and the Matrix Trilogy) to name a few.

Here are my own Favourite examples…

Superman: The Movie (1978 Dir. Richard Donner)

Predator (1987 Dir. John Mc Tiernan)

Night Of The Living Dead (1968 Dir. George A. Romero

And, Forbidden Planet (1956 Dir. Fred M.Wilcox)
