On the technical setting alone, I personally feel that there are several flaws in this film.

Regarding the analysis of human nature, there have been many expert comments. I am just analyzing several major flaws from the perspective of a sci-fi fan.

1. Smell and touch problems

The real people in the film are basically wearing a pair of glasses on a reclining chair and have several nerve contact units in their heads. But from the film, there should be basic vision and hearing. Nerve units may be external control of body manipulation instructions. No mouth-nose external device in sight. There is a strange place here. ——There are still phenomena such as nightclub appointments, drugs, and rape in the movie, which shows that robots can also transmit tactile senses, but the protagonist plays a big jump and rushes to catch thieves, which is comparable to Superman. This makes no sense. For example, the impact of the female villain's jumping off the bus is unbearable for normal people's pain nerves.

Personal brain supplement: maybe there is a built-in plug-in that can freely adjust the sensitivity of tactile nerves, just like some online game novels. But for taste and smell, I really can't think of how a bunch of mechanical cooks, bartenders, perfume pharmacists work.

2. Regarding the army,

this is the most nonsense and outrageous thing to me. They have invented a fully automatic mechanized bionic human body. Why is the mechanical army still obsessed with human body shape? Not playing real CS again. Not to mention Gundam, bionic military spider robots are better than humanoids from a purely military point of view. In fact, the technology has really reached that stage, and I feel that it is not very important to maintain the army or not. The war at the national level should be more at the level of data and information warfare. If it is purely domestic security, a few mechanical police and network monitoring will do it.

3. The robot in the consciousness synchronization and memory transfer

film has obviously reached the level of remote consciousness synchronization control. (The principle of technology is unclear, so it is considered a black technology. In some places, the performance control level is quite fine, and the robot OOXX can be used.) The robot also comes with a memory chip, but the performance in the film seems to be only some video data backup, far from Not to mention the issue of conscious copying. ——This is what makes me complain the most, Nima, the consciousness has begun to be synchronized and remotely controlled, and it is only one step away from the copy of the real person's consciousness. This is the rhythm of eternal life! After 99 steps have been taken, this last step has shrunk. I don't know if the screenwriter dared not write it, or I didn't expect it to come out.

4. About children

There are almost no children in the film, and the only scene seems to be a few children playing baseball. Advertisements for the sale of children's robots have also appeared on television. Children have a metaphor in this film, representing the continuation of human beings. The protagonist and the big boss's son are both dead, which is also a hint. This is a very interesting topic. If 90% of people use proxies, how do they treat children in the family? Or children have been brainwashed since childhood, and their parents are beautiful girls who will never grow old? At the beginning of the film, it is said that this technology has been developed and popularized for 14 years, and the country has not solved such a big social problem for more than ten years? This is the only place in the whole film that feels the most distorted. It's hard for me to imagine a bunch of adults who don't even care about their children and play live cosplay with all their heart.

These are some of my personal confusions, but overall this film is very inspiring. For the future bionic technology, it can be regarded as a kind of sand table simulation, which is used to warn the world.

    In the end, the scene where the agents rushed to the ground and fell to the ground was the highlight of the film +1
