Seven years past reality and ideal America

To be honest, it's a bit surprising to see how low the rating is, for me it's a very good popcorn movie, and it was produced in 2014 with this level of special effects. Physical texture light and shadow are very realistic. The civil and military operas alternated, and the small climaxes came one after another.

More importantly, it gave me a glimpse into the broken American dream.

Movies are full of American ambitions, and now the decline of reality is also reflecting the consequences of these ambitions: the world acts as a world policeman, but it is actually colonizing other countries, the country is said to be the capital of freedom, but it is flooded with drug violence and crime, Black and white are at odds with each other, the media acts as the mouthpiece of capital, and the weak bills can be defeated by marketing. The capitalists’ double-edged swords are full of interests behind the human righteousness... 2021, the bad is worse but the good It's almost exhausted. The background of the film is 2028, which happens to be another seven years. In the imagination of Americans, at this time, outside the walls of the high-tech factory are Chinese rice fields, and the workshops are full of Chinese laborers making American war-colonial machines.

Of course, the film focuses on the depiction of human nature, which is also worth thinking about. But in the contrast between the American world depicted in the film and reality, it seems powerless and mostly stylized, falling into a rut. For example, to describe human nature, you have to live an X life. The beautiful wife has gone through such a long time of life and death, but she is still sexy and beautiful, and it is a pity that her strong side is about to be covered up by her appearance. The capitalist boss made a reasonable decision at the beginning, but later he forced the protagonist to destroy his humanity and forcibly prevent him from reuniting with his family.

In short, it is a rare and very realistic one in the cool film, I think.

    The main point to watch is the development of the story and the debate involving machines and human souls, but after all, it is a mainstream commercial type of positive energy film. At the end, the big boss was shot and killed and his previous remarks are really the most abrupt and the least in the whole film. The reasonable place is to match the positive energy of Nima's mainstream business types.

    The screenwriter showed the American-style sympathy and conceit that others are foolish through the plot and dialogue. The male pig skin is good but not attractive, the setting of the daughter-in-law is simply superfluous, so that the child's role is much paler. The most disappointing thing is that the original western-style gun closing posture is gone, and there is no sense of desolation of a lonely hero. What the fuck is the soundtrack. . And, I was disgusted and cried 555 by the main theme of the United States. .

RoboCop quotes

  • Alex Murphy: Holy Christ, there's nothing left.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Your body may have gone, but you're still here.

    Alex Murphy: That's not even my brain.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: We had to repair the damaged areas, but we didn't interfere with your emotion or your intellect. Do you... do you understand me, Alex? You're... you're in control.

    Alex Murphy: I'm in control?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Yes.

    Alex Murphy: Okay. If I'm in control, then I wanna die. Just unplug whatever it is keepin' me alive and end this nightmare.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Now, say I did that - w-which is, as a doctor, would almost be impossible for me, but... but say I did. Wh... w-what do I say to your wife? What does she say to your son?

    Alex Murphy: That it didn't work. That you tried. Somethin' went wrong. You did everything you could, but I died.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: So after all they've been through, all the pain, all their hope restored, we would just rip that away? Your wife loves you, Alex. She signed the consent forms herself; otherwise, you couldn't have undergone the procedure. She loves you and she gave you a second chance. I need you to take it.

    Alex Murphy: I don't wanna see myself like this again. Ever. And the same goes for my family. Just put me back in.

  • Liz Kline: Dr. Norton, how... how is he doing this?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: His software is faster. His hardware is stronger. He's a better machine.

    Liz Kline: But you said humans hesitate.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Only when they're making decisions.

    Liz Kline: He's not making decisions?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Well, yes and no. In his everyday life, man rules over the machine; Alex makes his own decisions. Now, when he engages in battle, the visor comes down and the software takes over, then the... the machine does everything. Alex is a... he's a passenger, just along for the ride.

    Liz Kline: But if the machine is in control, then how is Murphy accountable? Who's pulling the trigger?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: When the machine fights, the system releases signals into Alex's brain making him think he's doing what our computers are actually doing. I mean, Alex believes right now he is in control, but he's not. It... it's the illusion of free will.
