Made in the mid 60s called La Decima Vittima. About us, in the 21rst century, and the state has sanctioned a reality tv show to help citizens work out their hostilities. Participants win a million dollars by murdering 10 people and surviving 10 attempts on their lives. Every time I watch it (starring Marcello Mastroinni and Ursula Andress) I wonder about the prescient mind of the writer. The soundtrack features one repeated weird futuristic song, \u00a0on an organ with female-choral-vowel-sounding accompaniment. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7k6r6\" data-offset-key=\"19hbj-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"19hbj-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"19hbj-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7k6r6\" data-offset-key=\"fhqsj-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"fhqsj-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"fhqsj-0-0\">I thought about La Decimal Vittima while reading about the pedestrian killed by Uber testing a self driving car.\u00a0The gist of the reporting was &#8211; too bad it happened and Uber feels bad for the victim&#8217;s family, sniff, ok everyone back to work and continue adjusting to robots in charge. If there is an increase in profit margins then the death of this or other pedestrians is a small sacrifice, send flowers to the family and halt all testing (for up to an hour). The reporting focused on the car&#8217;s camera failing. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7k6r6\" data-offset-key=\"7nrko-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"7nrko-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"7nrko-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7k6r6\" data-offset-key=\"1fc31-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"1fc31-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"1fc31-0-0\">Why isn&#8217;t Uber or the company who invented the &#8220;safe&#8221; robot car, charged with murder?\u00a0In the 60s, the American trailers that advertised La decimal Vittima framed it as a whacky comedy, I&#8217;m too serious for the 21rst century.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a movie I like so much, seen it 5 times.
