AI Theme Film created Great Discussion in Cannes

What comes to mind when Hirokazu Korean-eda says? Most likely stories that focus on the inner world of fragile family relations, quiet dramas and characters. That’s why Sheep in the Box When the first announcement of the “Kore-eda artificial intelligence?” he paused.

What is interesting here: The director does not actually change style, only expands its focus. So again there is a family, there is still lost but this time enters artificial intelligence into the work. And this combination strikes harder than expected.

This movie from my angle is sitting in a separate place in the “pay intelligence cinema” because the technical show goes through emotional manipulation rather than. This is the most critical point that distinguishes film from others.

What Does Sheep in the Box Tell?

The story opens from a rather annoying place. Think of a couple that loses their children. And then a company offers them:

“We can create digital copy of your child. ”

At this point, the film could slip into a classic science fiction. Home Korea-eda not. Very much to tell the process technically, it focuses on the weight of the decision moment. The process of "recoming" the child of the couple is actually a matter of data. Old videos, audio recordings, messages... All come together and come up with an artificial personality. This is not completely impossible when you look at today. Even surprisingly close.

At this point, the tools we use today are actually to see how close it to the scenario in the movie New Age in Artificial Intelligence Avatar: HeyGen Avatar V Comes! Look at the content titled is a good reference.

Because the described system here is only able to create digital twins with a short video data, and this avatar can talk over text. Moreover, details such as mimic, lip synchronization and speech rhythm are included in the model. This clearly shows that the idea of “creating the person digitally” we see in the movie is no longer fully fiction, the parts are used actively today.

Keeping Flat with Artificial Intelligence: The Role of Story

The movie plays a lot of psychology from technique. And I’m talking open, it’s the most powerful place. Artificial intelligence is not a tool here, not a trigger. It becomes something that extends the flat process, blurs and blocks completely in some moments.

The idea of digital mortality (maintenance through data) is discussed for a long time. But this movie does not novelize that idea. On the contrary, it offers a rather annoying reality.

Think about it: If someone you lose is still able to talk with you, you are really considered to lose it?

Here the movie is exactly inside this problem. And it does not give an easy answer.

Why Was AI Theme Film?

Artificial intelligence for the last few years is already in the center of the agenda. But there were two ends in the cinema: either dystopian (earing darkness) or romantic technology narrative.

Sheep in the Box This stands in one place between two ends. What is completely dark nor full of hope. More “what do you feel?” questions.

This approach directly captures the mass that lives in the interior with technology. Because it’s not a far away from what is described here. A little advance of today.

Is Artificial Intelligence Cinema In A New Phase?

Before All (o – movies) or Home We’ve seen examples such as (yapay human – movies). But they were focused on more people-pay intelligence relations. The new wave is different: No matter is associated, not to replace.

So artificial intelligence is coming from being a partner, one is turning to something “ground”. This is a much more sensitive space.

This change is critical in my opinion. Because technology goes to this direction in real life. Voice cloning, image generation, personality modeling... They all combine a fairly close picture to the scenario in the movie.

One of the most striking layers in the film is moving through the remanufacture of sound. The child is not only the image, but the voice is also rebuilt, and this situation attracts the audience directly to an ethical cavity.

To see the opposite of the real world at this point ElevenLabs’s Revolution in Voice Clone content offers a highly critical reference.

How Much Is The Technology Real Life in Film?

Short response: Jesmen is possible, but missing.

Today, artificial intelligence models can mimic the voice of a man quite realistic. In the same way, it can create its face, mimics and speech style at a certain level.

But the critical thing that is missing is: context.

So the model can imitate you, but you can not capture exactly what you are doing. The movie is back here. The feeling of reality increases as data increases but at the same time artificiality becomes more visible. This is a very thin line.

Turkey Perspective: How Much We Come To Such A Technology?

There is no product in Turkey but there are parts used.

• Access to audio cloning tools Home

• Image production is common

• Chat-based AI already in life

A theoretically similar system can be installed when they combine them. But the ethical and legal side of the work comes into action here. If you need to talk open, the regulation in Turkey (social regulation) is quite behind this speed. This creates gray areas.

Can Korean-eda Move This Story in Cinema Language?

This is controversial.

The minimal expression of Korean-eda works incredible in some scenes. Especially in the first contact moments with artificial intelligence of characters. But the pace for some viewers can stay more slowly. Because the movie tells about a story of technology, but it is actually a completely internal trip.

Why did criticize?

IndieWire review close to the film. Basic criticism: The idea is strong but the place of expression is messed.

On the other side there is a very boldly smeared audience. It’s important to tell the idea of making emotional bonds especially with artificial intelligence.

AI and Human Feeling: What Does This Film Tell Us?

This is where the movie hits. As artificial intelligence develops, we always come to the question: “How real?” But this movie asks another question: “Do you need to be real?” If something feels one you lose, it’s important whether it’s true? This question is not technical. Total man. And so Sheep in the Box not only a AI-themed movie. It is also an experiment that shows the most fragile state of our technology.

Last Note: Can Be Used in Turkey?

There is no one-stop technology in the movie. But there are parts and accessible. That’s not the matter “do it?” and clearly when it comes, we’ll do the same of the discussions you see in this movie in real life.
