Futurism's leaves a legacy of its influence on other movemements. Futurism affected the development of many other 20th century movements, such as Dadaism and Surrealism. It additionally influenced the modern form of Science Fiction, Cyberpunk. A revival of sorts of the Futurist movement began in 1988 with the creation of the Neo-Futurist style of theatre in Chicago. Small neo-futurist movements are still active in New York, Montreal and Chicago.

This direction of research was additionally inspired by the direct link between the love of the Futurists for technology, and mechanisms, and the mechanical theme of my project.

The film was summarised by a viewer as "a world in motion, dominated by mechanical and repetitive images, with a few moments of solitude in a garden.", which matches the heavy, and seeminly chaotic sounds of the musical accompaniment. It alternates between images of humans, and images of machines and mechanisms. In some scenes, such as a scene where a woman repeatedly climbs stairs, humans appear to move much more mechanically, which makes it seem as if they are becoming machines. In contrast, in other sequences machines appear much more fluid than humans, humanising the machines. This alternation between human and machine, and the film showing each taking on characteristics of the other, allows the film to suggest the mechanisation of humanity, and the humanisation of machines.
