Alaadin:Don't blame KoiceReloaded, he's like the guy in Get Out, he's locked out somewhere in his subconscious.
|
KoiceReloaded:You knew all these yet you chose to classify Searching as sci-fi based on non-existent elements of social science sci-fi.
|
Koice, you change pass chameleon. ![]() If subgenres are not important, then why did you classify Searching as sci-fi knowing it's main genre is not sci-fi? That's where the origin of this your post shifting started. Since then, you've gone from calling its main genre sci-fi to saying it's social studies or is it social science sci-fi. Not content with that, you changed your excuse to hacking and espionage with electronics. When I was about to expose you that there's no hacking in Searching, you changed the narrative to digital surveillance, and then, primary and university themes. LWKMD. ![]() One of your ridiculous and preposterous post shifting was saying hacking is CCTV surveillance. Like, I can't even deal with the joke in that definition. So, someone putting a CCTV in his house, office, or the government placing CCTV cameras at strategic corners to combat crime, means they are carrying out espionage. LMAO. KoiceReloaded, you must be related to Akpos. LMFAO. I don laugh die tonight. Thanks for your jokes. You don't know the meaning of hacking. Let me help you out with it. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/26361/hacking https://m.economictimes.com/definition/hacking You're welcome. ![]() |
Ishilove:Koice is the last born in our family but very stubborn. I was entrusted with the looking out for him. If I don't take care of him, who will? ![]() Good night, dear. ![]() |
KoiceReloaded:Let me ask you a question, is the primary theme of James Bond movies hacking? Is the main theme of The Social Network hacking and espionage? But you called it a sci-fi movie. |
Ishilove:But isn't obvious we've been joking? Lol. It's evident in our post. That meme is better suited for "Koice and post shifting be like" ![]() |
KoiceReloaded must be taking the piss. Initially, your point was hacking for Searching, when I told you to show me the hacking in Searching, you started twisting your reasons, reeling out new excuses like CCTV surveillance, digital surveillance etc. Telling me about main theme and fake theme. LMAO. You're funny. ![]() |
KoiceReloaded:Bring links that says the primary theme of any cyberpunk movie must be hacking and espionage. |
KoiceReloaded:How does digital surveillance with CCTV equates to hacking? And was espionage and hacking the main theme of Searching. Where is it written that espionage and hacking must be the central theme of a c movie before it becomes a cyberpunk? What brand of weed have you inhaled this night, senor Koice? The shii is too strong. Quit it. ![]() |
Ishilove:No o. Na joke o. ![]() |
KoiceReloaded:How To Get Away With Murder had hacking, spying on people, digital surveillance, cloning of phones in it, therefore it's a sci-fi, a social science sci-fi and a cyberpunk series. Buwahahaha. KoiceReloaded has lost it. ![]() Brethren, what we're witnessing now is what Thanos described when he said, "you're not the only one burdened with knowledge," to Ironman. Too much movie knowledge has made KoiceReloaded go bonkers. He needs your prayers. ![]() KoiceReloaded is in the Get Out movie situation; something has taken control of account/sense of reasoning, while he's locked away in his subconscious, crying for our help. Hang in there, Koice, help is on the way.

"Rebellion against large corporations and established organizations is a key aspect of cyberpunk. As such, main characters are often portrayed as alienated and marginalized by society." Where was this part in Searching, ehn KoiceReloaded? |
KoiceReloaded:You're confused honestly. I said show me the hacking in Searching and you're bringing up more words. Only you - hacking, digital surveillance, espionage, electronics, electronic espionage, main theme and non main theme. Even Nigerian leaders don't twist as much as you do. You'll soon include Nairaland to your plethora of examples.
|
KoiceReloaded:You're shockingly shooting yourself in the foot. From one of the posts you highlighted "Cyberpunk's protagonists are hackers, rockers, and other cultural rebels, clinging to a cult of individualism in a culture characterized by corporate control and mass conformity. These protagonists are adept at appropriating the materials of popular culture and making them speak to alternative needs and interests; they also know how to tap into the vast digital database to access information about corporations and their secret conspiracies, or to spread resistant messages despite powerful mechanisms of top-down control." Show me where the emboldened happened in Searching. Being a hacker but not in the setting described in that highlighted part, doesn't qualify a movie to be cyberpunk. None of what you highlighted happened in Searching except that there's use of computers or surveillance. If using camera makes films, cyberpunk, then every romance movie out there with as much as use of a phone becomes cyberpunk movie as well. Strike Back and 24 had computers and hacking in them. Don't know what you're on about. Is hacking the main theme in Searching? It's no longer about hacking but now about it being the main theme or not. Oga, stay one place and stop bending your points anyhow. ![]() |
BTW, KoiceReloaded, can you kindly point out the hacking that happened in Searching. I'm curious to know where the hacking came from. |
KoiceReloaded: Cyberpunk is often described as "high tech and low life" - a dystopic world, in which hyper-capitalism (or the corporate state) has created a tiny upper class and a massive, disenfranchised lower class. This lower class is inhabited by sleazy characters who have limited access to the technological advances that have benefited the upper class, and so the poor masses are forced to find their own improvised versions of these tools. These improvised resources generally include jury rigged cybernetic enhancements, which is where the "cyber" part of "Cyberpunk" comes from.https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/114587/what-separates-a-cyberpunk-setting-from-a-futuristic-setting See highlighted, where are those parts in Searching? One minute you dismiss the hacking and espionage in Strike Back and 24 when I trying to point out the error in your assertion, next minute you're using hacking to categorize Searching as cyberpunk. You can't eat your cake and have it. Searching can't be classified as a cyberpunk. Impossible!! Even if you remove the futuristic angle, other branches of cyberpunk rendered your argument invalid. ![]() |
Seunpaul01:The inspector's son who's been using a fake picture of Hannah to stalk the girl on Youcast as fish_chips is the owner of the fake site because the Funeral Association still had the fake pic of the model. |
KoiceReloaded:With the involvement of electronic devices, suffice it to say every modern film with people making use of phones, automatically qualifies it as cyberpunk. LMAO. Try another excuse. ![]() There's no futuristic setting or advanced technology that's out of the ordinary. If you continue in this path, na to dig your E-grave remain. ![]() |
KoiceReloaded:Oya, Dig your way
|
alexistaiwo:
|
KoiceReloaded:No matter the shovel, there's no way can dig yourself out of such an appalling blunder, not when Jerome is around to call you out. ![]() |
KoiceReloaded:
|
alexistaiwo:I'm afraid of an unknown character on the Internet? How old are you again?
|
samuelchimmy:Searching doesn't belong to cyberpunk subgenre of sci-fi. I doubt you understand what cyberpunk is all about. |
alexistaiwo:I was just joking. |
KoiceReloaded:You're trying to pit me against TissuePaper_ by making a mountain outta molehill, your plan will not work. ![]() |
KoiceReloaded:From 'synopsis expert' to 'synopsis machine' LMAO. ![]() I think Oyetpel did a shoddy job compared to TissuePaper. With Oyetpel's, there's still something to look forward to in the movie. But with TissuePaper's analysis, one can tell everything that happened in the film, scene by scene. It's like watching the premiere of the movie. The analysis be like project work. ![]() |
KoiceReloaded:Oyetpel don suffer for your hand. LOL @is on standby.
|
TissuePaper, I've not watched the said film, hence I didn't read your analysis because it's filled with spoilers and will ruin the fun for me when I finally decide to watch it. Can't comment on your analysis for now. |
Iyajelili:Mid-season break. |
KoiceReloaded:You must have not watch Sorry To Bother You. The driest comedy I've seen in a while. |
KoiceReloaded: KoiceReloaded: sod09:Who dey follow una shine teeth?
