Though he admits from time to time he gets caught off guard and lets his true feelings show. "So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised ![]() Roboto dwells within the more logical brain. Kilroy is the flesh and blood of man, Mr. Here he is telling us that while he has feelings, his mind has full control over them. "My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M." Mr.Roboto is telling us that he is in fact an alter ego, not the persons real self. "I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin" His alter ego is common amongst modern men to this day. Modren likely is a play on the word modern. Parts made in Japan is used for story continuity. "With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man" Roboto is perceived as cold and uncaring. "You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin" This is likely a moment of self-awareness by Kilroy. My theory is that Mr.Roboto is actually based on identity issues. They will modify the circumstances to fit a storyline. Writers tend to base their work off of personal experience. I suspect there is more to it than meets the eye. Now everyone can see (secret secret I've got a secret) To throw away this mask (secret secret I've got a secret) The time has come at last (secret secret I've got a secret) Machines to save our lives, machines dehumanize The problem's plain to see, too much technology I want to thank you, please, thank you, oh yeah So no one else can see (secret secret I've got a secret)įor helping me escape to where I needed to Who hides behind a mask (secret secret I've got a secret) I am the modern man (secret secret I've got a secret) I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M. I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin With parts made in Japan (secret secret I've got a secret) Machine or mannequin (secret secret I've got a secret) I'm recommending this film, not because it's a US romance set in the Far East, but because it shows, wonderfully, a Japan that seems to be lost now due to Westernization.You're wondering who I am (secret secret I've got a secret) Sure, the actors are not of the highest caliber, they seem to come from summer stock and dinner theater, but they do make the most of the hippy dippy dialog pretty well. After the mind relaxes and the eyes adjust, it's like looking out a window into a fascinating world in a time long past. What a wonderful world it would be if all films were made in 3D versions, without gimmicky things being hurled at the audience every few minutes. It's an odd film to begin with, but the fact that it treats it's 3D photography so matter of factually is downright fascinating. This film plays more like a travelogue with a romantic plot thrown in to keep the audiences attentions. While Arch Oboler is not a great filmmaker by a mile, the fact that he made his features in 3D makes him a very notable director. "Bawana Devil" was made in the 1950's, "The Bubble" (aka "The Zoo" - aka "The Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth") in the 60's and this one in the early 70's. "Domo Arigato" is a 3D Spacevision film made by Arch Oboler radio thriller pioneer ("Light's Out!") and (most important to this subject) director of the first 3D film widely released in the United States, "Bawana Devil". It's impossible to call something the (blank) version of (blank) when what you're comparing it to was made first. See, the first thing I noticed about the alleged review on the main page, are the words: "70's version of "Lost In Translation".
