when man becomes machine

In fact, I saw the old version of RoboCop when I was a child, but I was too young at the time. I just thought that becoming a RoboCop was very handsome, very powerful, invulnerable, heroic and mighty. Until I read the new version today, I have some additional understanding.
The theme of the whole movie revolves around machines or humans? Is the current Murphy a machine or a person after the transformation? I think this question is worth arguing about. First of all, his body composition is already the majority of machines, and his body composition only has a face, brain, lungs and a palm, but you can't say that he is a machine , because he is preserved as the most fundamental things of human beings-thoughts and feelings, which are the most fundamental things that distinguish human beings from other animals and plants. But you can hardly say that he is a person in his life. The normal life of a normal person should be like this - a career (even if it is not a career, at least a job), and an emotional sustenance - family. But the second half of Murphy's life will be pure work, which means that when his other police colleagues come home from get off work to enjoy the warmth of family, he can only stay in the cold laboratory and take his own rest-maintenance and Maintenance, and mental rest? Maybe Murphy can no longer enjoy family life. In this regard, the nature of his life, the quality of his life, is actually no different from a machine. The basic maintenance and maintenance of his body is only to make the machine live longer and work. longer.
In fact, Murphy has been switching between humans and robots throughout the film: as a human Murphy defeated the robot warrior and passed the final test, but was entered into a large number of criminal records (especially those who saw himself killed). Surveillance video) His emotions were affected and the system collapsed. Dr. Norton applied drugs to deprive him of his emotions and forcibly turned him into a machine again, but in the end he returned to human nature because of
his son ’s depression (personally, I think he can override the priority of ordinary cases and investigate his own case first.) is to restore humanity), including the final shot at the boss, where humanity prevails over the machine. Of course, the film does not completely deny machinery, at least Murphy, the Robocop, has uncovered the police chief hidden in the depths. No matter how legal a society is, it cannot avoid corruption caused by human nature (greed), perhaps, A machine without emotion or desire is the most impartial enforcer.
In addition, I want to talk about the Omni company in the show. I think their behavior is explaining the face of a real businessman - mercenary, including transforming Murphy, using him to advertise and promote laws that are beneficial to their company, including the last thing after the exposure To try to cut the weeds. It is an irony that the boss finally died of the proud product in his eyes.
Personally, I feel that the theme of the whole film "Robocop" is not lost, but the whole film can hardly be called a classic. Sometimes I feel that several villains died too quickly, and the fighting scenes make people feel It didn't reach the climax it should have, but it ended. Is the pace too fast? Or am I responding too slowly? In short, the film is generally good, but the details (especially the battle plot) need to be improved.

    Very bland, and several key adaptations were unsuccessful, especially the setting of the company, which is inexplicable. In the end, there is no opposition at all between the pros and the villains - what a good setting for the company to cooperate with the gang behind in the old version. The essence of RoboCop is harsh law enforcement in a corrupt and chaotic city, and at the same time full of emotion, and the new version of the story is very boring and the characters are not established. Barely give 3 stars.

    Haven't seen the original. This version is not just a half-human, half-machine struggle, but also a struggle between the director's ambitious camera shots and characterizations, and the car chase scenes and shootout scenes that compromise the box office. Abby Cornish goddess full marks! Finally, Uncle Gary's dynamic picture in the newspaper dreamed back to Harry Potter!

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.
