The Creation of the Humanoids (1962)

2024-08-05

We’re in the future all month long for August’s theme that we’ve dubbed “SOME BULLSHIT TOMORROW” and so far we’re 2 for 2 on post nuclear war societies. Every Monday (mostly) is a vintage selection (vintage is considered 1969 and before) and we’re going into a bizarre and fairly deep cut 1962 science fiction film that ponders the limits of humanity and the humanity of the things humans, and humanoids, create. It certainly does ponder. Through very long winded diatribes does this movie ponder. It certainly could have utilized drama better and perhaps throw in a little more danger. That said, many of the themes and subjects of Wesley Barry’s “THE CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS” carries forward in later works such as “Blade Runner” and “Battlestar Galactica”. Will the Humanoids replace us all with improved “Clicker” versions of ourselves? It’s not as bad as it sounds. They even trim your waistline a little when they bring you back. Either that or you can join some human cult headed up by some guy called “The Cragus” whose sister is banging a Clicker. But just between you and me? “The Cragus” seems a little too stiff lately if you know what I mean. This movie is all over the internet.
