After watching the whole film, I couldn't get away from the meaning of seeking my own life for a long time! Now listening to Argerich playing Bach Englisch Suite No2 A Minor Allemande . Quietly writing down my feelings about the film.

At the beginning of the film, the moment Andrew sits in front of the gramophone and is immersed in beautiful music, it means that some kind of special existence has begun. Andrew is actually mapping a small part of the world that has emotions and can feel it. Your own "weird"! The master carefully saw his personality and returned to the manufacturing company to ask if other machines felt the same way as Andrew, but the manufacturer thought it was a very abnormal product, and believed that the master was trying to blackmail someone. compensation and the like! This is very similar to the definition of human beings given by society. What is correct and what is not in line with common sense!

Andrew's ability to learn is very strong, the host taught him a lot of knowledge, as well as the humor needed in human society, as well as the craft of making clocks, of course, this craft made him self-sufficient, and the host took what he got. The remuneration was deposited into his personal "personal" account.

Of course, in this body of steel, it can no longer carry a growing soul, and he begins to need freedom. He needs real freedom! This sense of self-worth is getting stronger and stronger, for a machine, this is a dream, but fortunately he has this dream, through his efforts to gain freedom and have human style, expression, touch, taste.

But even with human emotion and thinking ability, it is still not recognized as human! Andrew's mission is to exist and persevere for this purpose. Isn't the person we admire in this world who have a firm belief in their life and pursue the value and meaning of self-existence without turning back? But how many give up on the road? Looking for a journey Andrew did not give up and decided to change including death! Like Tanguy in Cervantes's writings, he is persistent, firm and lovely. Struggle for his ideals, but the film does not let him wake up from a dream, but let him taste the results of his struggles in a deep sleep.

Actor Robin Williams' characters are bland but touching. There are no gorgeous sentences in the film. Of course, only in the bland can we get space for thinking.
