Film 4: New Media
I don't really see echoes of 'Bendito Machine III'. Rather the imagery "War of the Worlds" and the message is the "Terminator" series. There is no ambiguity. This is a dystopian future in which the machines have taken over. They roam the landscape for an undefined reason but the cut to the TV remote suggests that humans are now hiding indoors and the world outside is the domain of the machines. The tumbling balls of steel are reminiscent of tracking drones or some such thing further reinforcing the idea that it is the machines that are in control. Overall I see the message conveyed being one of the ultimate consequences of perpetually producing technology with no thought for the future.
