Innocence as a Simulation of the Chinese Room Experiment

Post by Sergeant X »

Only real evidence for this is that the machines at the beginning and end speak Cantonese.
That and that, thinking back on it, the whole film looks kind of like a puzzle box -
the idea is that Oshii, the director, inputs the information, which we are supposed to translate.
Of course in some ways like all art is like this but for some reason this film just seems especially so -?

Does anyone know what they are saying in Cantonese? That'd probably be a good place to start.[/i]
