Scene 74 takes us far away from the BINGO halls and school libraries into the cockpit of a spaceship, setting the stage for a conversation between Ken and HAL, a presumably artificial intelligence. This switch in setting ratchets up the tension and stakes as we transition from earthly concerns to, quite literally, out-of-this-world scenarios. To dig into the nitty-gritty of the scene, you can check out the complete script here.
Alan Nafzger proves once again he's not shy about taking on Hollywood heavyweights like Greta Gerwig, as he dives deep into complex dialogues about human emotions and algorithms. Ken, showing signs of growth and maturity, discusses his adaptability and survival skills. In contrast, HAL seems to be grappling with the concept of human feelings, evident in the dialogue about "prime factors."
We see Ken as a character who has evolved, emphasizing that he is more than the sum of his parts—much like how Nafzger’s interpretation of Barbie 2 is greater than its individual scenes. Get to know the characters better.
This scene serves as a pivotal moment, setting the stage for future conflicts and resolutions. HAL and Ken's interaction adds a layer of suspense, making us question the role of artificial intelligence and its understanding—or lack thereof—of human emotions. Discover more about the plot.
