The movie of 2014 seems to be outdated today. In this way, people's expectations and fears for the future and robots have always been the same and have never changed.
Robots have been fascinated by humans since they had this concept. Various books and movies emerge in an endless stream. Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics seems to be perfect, but he also puts forward many loopholes in his short stories. On the one hand, people yearn for the large-scale application of robots to bring humans a higher level of quality of life; on the other hand, they strictly guard against the boundaries between humans and robots. Non-human races will have different hearts. Even robots created by humans are also born. From that moment on, it exists as both the enemy and the servant of mankind.
Robocop's storyline isn't too new, referencing robots to warfare and everyday guards. The film's good focus is to match the political hotspots in the United States today, and the seemingly flawless events feel real and believable, without the slightest feeling that this is a cool, high-tech movie of the future. It is precisely like this that it gives the audience a larger space for thinking: the meaning and value of the existence of Robocops, and whether human beings need Robocops to protect their own safety.
On the one hand, this film makes people think about the existence of robots, and on the other hand, it is also a reflection on the current political system in the United States. Businesses can manipulate public opinion, which in turn affects the mayor and the Senate through votes. Numerous factors terrifyingly point to the fact that as long as you have a deep understanding of this political system, the ability of an individual can override the entire society. Then if there is a criminal genius who packs criminal thoughts into a perfect plan and obtains the will of the whole people, wouldn't the whole world be in danger.
The rhythm of the film itself is tense, the actors are eye-catching, and the shootout scene is not too eye-catching. It is a relatively good popcorn movie.
