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.

RoboCop quotes

  • Tom Pope: I give you Sergeant Jack Freeman, masculinity incarnate. Led Pittsburgh SWAT for five years, now confined to a wheelchair.

    Liz Kline: I think I can see the appeal.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: No.

    Tom Pope: What? Why?

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Well, check the psych evaluation. He's far too unstable.

    Tom Pope: He's trying to say that he has a temper.

    Dr. Dennett Norton: Have you any idea what we'd be putting him through? The psychological strain requires someone emotionally balanced. We have to be scientific. I mean, we're not exactly selling a soft drink here, are we?

  • Alex Murphy: [to David] Now give your mom a kiss.

    Clara Murphy: Good night, baby.
