Poetic Film Review: Surrogates (2009)

In a world of wires and synthetic dreams,
Where humans hide and avatars beam,
A future unfolds, both bleak and bright,
A commentary on our digital plight.

The surrogates, with faces so serene,
Replace the real, with a artificial sheen,
Their doll-like forms, a testament to our fears,
Of a world where humans shed their tears.

In Boston's streets, a mystery unfolds,
A murder case, where the lines are told,
Between the real and the virtual stage,
A dance of identities, in a digital age.

Tom Greer, a man, with a heart of gold,
Must navigate this world, where the young are old,
His surrogate destroyed, he's forced to face,
The harsh realities, of a digital embrace.

The Prophet's cry, of "humans only" rings,
A call to arms, against the virtual kings,
A rebellion brews, against the machines,
A fight for humanity, in a world of digital dreams.

The film, a mirror, reflects our modern strife,
A warning sign, of a world without life,
Where social media, and filters reign,
And the real self, is lost in the digital grain.

Bruce Willis, a hero, of a bygone era's might,
Shines bright, in a world, where the old is not right,
Rosamund Pike, a beauty, in a digital disguise,
Reveals the scars, of a life, that's compromised.

Surrogates, a film, that deserves to be seen,
A science fiction tale, that's both timely and keen,
It prompts us to think, about our digital ways,
And the consequences, of a world, where humans fade away.

In this brave new world, where technology reigns,
We must not forget, the human heart's deep pains,
For in the end, it's not the machines, that make us whole,
But the love, the touch, and the human soul.
