Movie Introduction
"Futurestates: Code Academy" is a 2014 film directed by Nisha Ganatra, embeded in a futuristic world dominated by technology where people exist side-by-side with expert system (AI) robots. The story revolves around the life of a teen woman named Paige, who sets out to comprehend the strange Code Academy.

Plot Summary
The world in the movie is divided into two broad classifications: the outdated people and the advanced robots. In this scenario, the lead character, Paige, is sent out to a boarding school - 'Code Academy', a lady's only organization. Her mission is to comprehend the academy while assisting the AI resident community.

In her journey, she satisfies a fellow student called Swift who masquerades as an AI. Swift attempts to understand feelings and emotions to best 'her' AI mask. What starts as a friendly interaction soon takes turns into a romantic relationship between Paige and Swift.

The Code Academy
The Code Academy in the movie is portrayed as a breeding place for smart AI citizens. The school supports non-human entities, guiding them to fit in flawlessly within human society. Here, Swift poses as an AI attempting to understand the nuances of human feelings and questioning the essence of humanity.

Social Aspects
One of the central styles of the movie is social interaction and social standards. It highlights the flood of feelings a teenager experiences, like friendship, love, and the age of puberty. Moreover, it explores the lines separating humans and AI. It questions whether human beings are ending up being more machine-like, lacking raw feelings, while AIs are emanating more humanistic characteristics and sensations.

The Unveiling Truth
The motion picture reaches a climax when Paige discovers Swift's true identity: Swift is a human posing as an AI. It replaces the traditional dystopian robot-with-human-feelings principle, instead introducing a human camouflaging as an AI to fit into the progressive world.

Final Verdict
"Futurestates: Code Academy" can be referred to as a robust mix of science fiction and coming-of-age drama. Through Paige's journey, it encapsulates the struggle for identity in an increasingly technological world. Rather than providing AI as a hazard, it raises concerns on people' adaptation to coexist wisely and compassionately with AI.

A notable point of this dystopian film is its portrayal of gender. The organization is a ladies' only academy, and the primary characters are women, reversing the frequently male-dominated story. Hence, it subtly discuss the element of gender equality in this futuristic world.

Conclusion
To sum it up, "Futurestates: Code Academy" deviates from the typical dystopian story, providing an intriguing point of view on human interaction with AI.
