‘964 Pinocchio’ One Of The Most Disturbing Film

‘964 Pinocchio’ One Of The Most Disturbing Film

The film was released in 1991 and is an adaptation of the titular character that is not a wooden puppet but a humanoid sex robot raised in a factory but kicked out of the quasi-dystopian world when he fails to perform. His memory erased, Pinocchio serendipitously falls into the care of a criminally insane, memory-wiped, homeless girl. Meanwhile, the corporate entity who manufactured and sold him plots to kill him because of his malfunction.  The film flirted with the idea of Pinocchio having real feelings and emotions but ultimately skated around the issue by having him “malfunction” and go insane, killing his love interest before being killed himself. The film is one of the most disturbing I have seen and is frequently revisited by the public and critics.

What is the film based upon?

The film is based on the story of a mechanical cyborg sex slave, who was manufactured in a factory and sold to the highest bidder. The film is an allegory of what real life would be like if we ever became more permissive and allowed robots like these to be built. This movie explores the ramifications and consequences of such technology. The story takes place in a dystopian future where city streets are full of genetically engineered and manufactured creatures like this one. The main focus of the film is Pinocchio’s “964” the sex slave. who is thrown out onto the street by his owners because he isn’t functional? He is then befriended by a homeless amnesiac girl who has been genetically manipulated to be able to survive on her own.

Why should I watch this film?

This movie is an independent sci-fi drama. It’s pretty disturbing, but it’s got a good story. I would recommend this film to anybody interested in viewing strange films, even if it may not be your cup of tea. I’d seen this film in a movie discussion class, and it was just fantastic to see what people’s opinions were on the subject. It was about a sex robot that couldn’t stay hard and his subsequent adventures on the streets of New York. The film is full of violence and nudity, so if that kind of stuff grosses you out, then this movie isn’t for you. 

Who can watch this film?

This film is intended for mature audiences. If you are under the age of 17 we don’t recommend that you watch. There is a lot of sexual content and violence in this film. You would likely find this objectionable.
