stupid human

I haven't seen the old version of "Robocop", so when the protagonist "successfully operated" and took off his armor for the first time to show his remnant body, the exposed cyborg brain and cyborg lungs with clear blood vessels were quite shocking.

The plot setting of the movie is nothing new, the only thing that impressed me was this scene. The visual impact of this mechanical body and human brain is so strong that the other intense gunfights in the film can't excite me at all.

Strangely enough, this image reminds me of the famous Sphinx (the Sphinx). At first glance, they are like monsters, but they have special existence value.

People in this film are still quite repulsive to robots. I don't know if I was worried because I watched "Terminator". So it is better to put a human head on the machine than to improve the IQ of the robot. Unfortunately, the human brain also degenerates. After the male protagonist is old, if unfortunately he is demented, wouldn't this body be scrapped? The cost of maintaining social order is really high!

In fact, the profession of "warrior" itself is quite mechanized. Just imagine how much impact a sentimental person will receive on the battlefield! Whatever the righteous reason, killing another life will always leave its mark on the mind.

Smart human beings, instead of spending a lot of time and energy on how to win in war, why not work harder to make the world more peaceful? Come to think of it, the human brain is sometimes not much stronger than the machine brain.

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.
