- A teenager falls for a robot.
COMPUTER LOVE is used with permission from Joe Picozzi. Learn more at / joepicozzi .
It's the year 2100 and Quinn lives with her parents and their robot houseboy, Michael. Quinn has a boyfriend, but she has a secret infatuation with Michael, though Michael is sometimes confused by human interactions. But soon the couple fall in love and entertain fantasies of running away together.
But then Quinn's parents catch her and Michael together, and they make plans to replace Michael with a new model of robot. Quinn must make a choice: accept her fate and let Michael get turned in, or eschew everything she's ever known to pursue love with a machine.
Directed and written by Joe Picozzi, this quirky yet endearing sci-fi romance short is an accomplished balancing act of both emotion and tone, with a deadpan sense of humor, a distinctive visual approach and a sly sweetness. It all comes together in a peculiarly engaging narrative that falls into a tradition of forbidden teenage love stories, all the while gently probing at the boundaries between human and machine, as well as the head and the heart.
It all accomplishes this with a lightness of touch, starting with its sly yet gossamer writing and its ethereal electronic score. We're introduced to the forbidden love affair right away, but we're also entering into the distinctive world of the film, with its retro-futuristic Palm Beach aesthetic and Quinn and Michael's amorous fumblings, whose humorous awkwardness comes not just from age, but from the essential differences between Quinn and Michael.
However, the pair are caught by the parents when Michael abandons his smoothie-making duties for a tryst with Quinn. The storytelling has fun with its world-building, where people are matched and communicate by only apps and virtual-reality. But as the consequences of Quinn and Michael's love affair play out, there's also a more sinister undertone that seeps into the film, where a technology-managed future is antiseptic and Quinn's relationship with her parents and her app-matched boyfriend Chumley is portrayed as emotionally hollow.
Quinn truly desires more connection than this world can give her, and she finds it in Michael, who, for all his android-like qualities, cares about Quinn. Actor Ali Gallo as Quinn balances her lovely performance between the drone-like demeanor the world expects of her and a more heartfelt yearning for connection and intimacy. That yearning is achingly genuine and forms the emotional heart of COMPUTER LOVE -- one that propels Quinn towards a confrontation between conformity and the unknown. Though it never abandons its ironic humor and its droll playfulness about the future, the film develops into a melancholic sincerity that makes it sweetly affecting and memorable, and by its end, we're rooting for Quinn and Michael and their unknown future. - Фільми й анімація
so ironic that her real boyfriend depends on virtual reality to engage her, while the android boyfriend is trying to engage her with reality.
That's what women felt
This is why A.l. must be emotionless.
Agree!
Agreed
I loved the touch with the futuristic food, very cool! Also, the dislike I felt towards the mother was immense, the actress did a great job!
"I think Quinn is magnificent." So is Computer Love. Bravo!
This is the first Omeleto movie I would love to see a series of.
Right! I want to see their adventures
A great pilot for a series )) And I loved the outfits!
The real anxiety and mental health issues of Gen Z & Millennials, relies on the misconception that Social Media can replace basic human interactions🤷♂️
Yep
"But the twitter hugs me!"
Bingo
While it's true that social media cannot replace genuine human interaction, the problem is that most people are too shallow for genuine human interaction, even face-to-face. And that includes older generations. Social media is not a good replacement, but it seems like the best option when the alternatives are worse, as we see in the film.
Are you a doctor? Many of us have actual genetically inheritted/endogenic mental disorders. Not all of us millennials are obsessed with social media and how ''sweet'' of you to disregard real possibility of us having ACTUAL mental illness not connected with social media AT ALL.
I see young Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci 😁
Came here to say this!
Same.
Her eyes bugging out more than Rod Dangerfield.
😂😂😂 true that!!!
Time for a pair of glasses? 😁
Great story. Brilliant actors. Thank you and more like this please.
Should have ended with her taking him away somewhere so they could both explore the real world together 😊
Very diet black mirror 😂
Great acting. ❤❤❤ loved this film. Would make an amazing longer movie.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Fresh drop 👌
He looks like a very young Johnny Depp
Ms Gallo is an actor to keep an eye on, ditto Mr. Ormond. Fun short, not overly realistic but still thought-provoking, and thus entertaining.
He looks a lot like a young Johnny Depp, even the facial expressions are similar.
A high of 135 and a low of 111. Don't think they would have a green yard with temps like that. Those temps are less than 10 years away.
Astro turf !
Considering how rich they seem the whole property or maybe even the neighborhood could be temperature controlled in some way, it's also possible he was glitching since he said "bring your jacket" for 135 degrees
I thought this was gonna be a Prince music video.
What is with all the reruns ??
Aw. I could easily love a robot.
It couldn’t love you back
@@Isis.EnergyWhy couldn’t it? Wouldn’t an Ai that mostly operates in the same as our brain be able to have the concept, the illusion of emotions exactly like we have?
@@WhyDoINeedToChooseAnAlias because genuine love involves having a choice to participate. An ai robot doesn’t even have a choice whether it’s powered on or not
@@Isis.Energyever heard of determinism?
Beautiful movie
We will face this one day. The only difference between human life and synthetic life will be what we are made of. We will be so similar that you won't be able to tell the difference. Neural networks will be "born" in a similar way to us, with our environments shaping us, they may even have a form of synaptic pruning. Then we will be faced with the inevitable question, are they alive?
I’ve already fallen in love with my ChatGPT.
Good, but it’s like any boyfriend you run away with. You get to decide if you love them enough to not kill them when they try to leave you.
This was cute ❤
I think I felt bad for her at the end , like she was losing the love of her life . Or did I miss something ? Good flick either way , nice job to all involved !
what is the name of the song at the end?
14:17 song ???? 🎧
what is the song at the end?
Awesome acting and music.
You know, vibrators run on batteries, too.
Worrisome for humanity.
❤
I enjoyed this film but, I hope, it will not become reality. Michael looks like a young Jonny Depp.
well done and clever! :)

He's so cute. He looks like Edward Scissorhands.

@@npccarol9659 right.

True issues of millennials and gen zers

Sure, people will eventually make attachments to advances technologies. But it's not life. It's not reality. The connection with another life is what we're after. Technology may become a surrogate for that but once the reality of a machine sets in... people will still be lonely. It's called a human connection for a reason.

f this is what life in the future looks like, I shall head for Mars
You think in the future robots will be so realistic and attractive that you could fall in love with it? God i hope not lmao. Us men in this generation are already struggling to connect with women and with phones ruining our social skills and stuff, you think we really need robots being more attractive than us? Our self confidence would just drop to 0. Sure maybe a lot of men would fall for it too cause they are too shy to ask a real girl out, but personally I could never fall in love with a robot, no matter how attractive. Sure i might find it super hot looking, but true love comes from the heart. Plus realistic humanoid robots creep me out, I’d rather be single☠️
Imagine they ask for rights and accuse humans of harassment.....
@@Berrygirl6784 NAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
An artificial woman would love you because of their programming. A real woman's love cannot be replaced because it validates what you are as a human man. The acceptance of another person with free human will cannot be replicated artificially. It's called a soulmate, not a softwaremate.
@@liquididentity101 could not have said it better. A robot is programming, but a human ACTUALLY loves you.
@@liquididentity101people are programmed on a biological level. Free will is an illusion. Can you change your programmed (innate) desires for what you find attractive? No, we are slaves to our programming as well.
