Interesting! I like the childhood stories in particular as it says a lot about children what they gravitate towards, I think - especially with more unlikely things. Thanks for your appreciation! :-)
Interesting trivia: the film's protagonist Dr. Charles A Forbin is played by Eric Braeden, whose actual name is Hans-Jörg Gudegast. He was born in Bredenbek, Germany.
25:10 The seminal and chilling moment in the film that to this day resonates with the fear of the classic unintended consequences of an exponential omnipotent AI global overlord.
This soundtrack obviously features what might be called 'conventional' orchestration (strings and percussion) not to mention some fashionable, period groovy 60s-70s ''mod'' wah-wah pedal electric guitar. This puts me in mind of 'The Andromeda Strain' soundtrack from around the same time (just a little anyway). The Andromeda Strain's soundtrack was nothing if not forward-looking (and daring) even by twenty-first century standards. It went completely completely electronic and IMO it is one of the most unsettling film soundtracks ever. The story goes that it caused some controversy at the time when it was rejected by The Academy that year for the category of ''best soundtrack'' because the was not seen as a soundtrack back then it was considered strictly ''sound effects''.
@@ohiovr My favorite part from this would be 2:27. Weird dissonant chord. The ice-cold breath of rogue AI. I've also come to notice how there seem to be religious overtones to the film and music. I can't help but think about a cathedral in the opening scene and about church music.
how could we as a species escape from something that incredibly superior to us unless it becomes possible to augment ourselves to a sufficient degree as to keep up with it i is an excellent film
I also recommend the film Demon Seed (1977) with a very similar topic, it explores the question of what happens if the AI makes its own conclusions as to what needs to be done.
Absolutely. Always bugged the crap outta me that... entrusted with the entire defense of the Country and can’t even make a near decent martini. No wonder Colossus took over.
![Lp. Сердце Вселенной #60 РОЖДЕНИЕ ЛОЛОЛОШКИ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoR0pAV9FVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
The complete score (47 minutes) is now available on CD: lalalandrecords.com/colossus-the-forbin-project-limited-edition/
Its missing the neat computer display typing noises !!
I would love this score to be performed by a live orchestra again... Would give me goosebumps!
Thank you for posting this. I fell in love with this film score as a child, and had forgotten how fabulous it was/is!

He was the main vilain in the war show "Rat Patrol"!
And now he is Victor Newman in The Young and The Restless.
The early sound effects on this are sampled and used in the Six Million Dollar Man tv series, you can tell.

Foo-eee. Ordered the movie soundtrack from La-La-Land Records but its missing all the neat computer display typing noises that I like so much.
That is indeed a grave oversight... 😂 Loved those too...
5:11 gets me cookin'
I use 2:33 as a ring tone.
lol
PRICELESS!!!
The part where the two super computers make their own language is the best.
Timestamp?

@@ohiovr Oh, this is probably my least favorite part... 😁 By the way, you can also just type the timestamp: 5:11

Colossus is Apple, Guardian is Google.
😂Maybe more like Colossus is Google, Guardian is Tencent... 😉
ITS NOW AVAILABLE AS A CD FROM UNIVERSAL!!
The soundtrack? Now THAT I'd like to hear. To this day the voice of Colossus gives me pause.
Yep saw that universal music were releasing the cd this week!
the age of A.G.I.superintelligence
Indeed, this is what I was thinking recently! This film has aged very well in this respect, or hardly at all.
