Robocop (Original) -
This is sci-fi with a touch of future society horror ideas. This is the first time I've seen it in HD. I like it but it is a very sad and dark movie. I saw it when I was young and although many things were beyond me then, I did realize that the movie was like a warning. Civilized society should never get to this point. Yet it seems like society is speeding to this point if not very close to it. I'm sure some got the warning when the movie was released, others saw it as just an action entertainment movie. I'll probably see the remake one day. I'm sure it's watered down from the original. But those who haven't seen the original Robocop should check it out.
Also in addition to noticing more story elements just because I'm older, seeing the movie in HD made me pick up on something that I didn't truly understand. It's kind of a SPOILER!!!
The birth of Robocop is sad and horrific. But as a kid some dialog went over my head. I always thought they just put Murphy's body in the robotic suit. However now I understand that it's just his brain and a few organs. Looking at the movie in HD you can even tell that his face is kind of strange. Reading more on it they removed his face for Robocop. That's how twisted the corporate scientists are.

Is that really how young people are these days? Are you like that?
Obviously I'm not the target generation for this utterly annoying waste of time.

It's that bad? I have it on my list to check out when it's on cable. I read the story on wiki and watched the trailer. I want to see how the twist plays out.
