not good-looking

(I don’t know how long it has been on the hard drive. I thought it was a sci-fi film with a special theme from an island country. I didn’t expect that the title of Colombia’s goddess shocked me. This style of painting is full of the sense of the times from the last century)

Tear off the sci-fi and fantasy coats respectively, and compare this film with Brad Pitt's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button from the perspective of a personal saga, and find that it is not as good as the latter. The robot is set to experience a span of about 200 years for four generations in the story, and the film is only about 131 minutes long, but it also tells about the freedom, love, The three complex themes of life are really overwhelming.

After the middle of the movie, the more I watch it, the more sloppy and rushed the performance becomes. Even as a sci-fi film, such a long narrative span is not necessary. At least in the movie, it is seen that Robin Williams, who is already mature and short-statured and nearly half a hundred years old, is in love with the fourth-generation little "Second Lady" It's very inconsistent. The first time the robot looked for the second lady, it said that it was because your great-grandfather died and your grandmother was old, so I wanted to chat with you. I find it strange that the robot has a deep relationship with the second lady, so if you want to show love, let the two fall in love at dusk. To write to death? So what I feel is not a robot exploring love at all, but a sexual desire for young men of the opposite sex. This is the curiosity brought to the robot by the first-generation male protagonist. When he becomes a human, he must try it. Therefore, what the movie actually shows at most is the physiological instinct of human beings, and it is not love at all.

In addition, when Robin Williams presents the robot identity in his own image, it is not as good as the performance of the robot appearance under the special effects. Although I want to understand that his performance is limited by the identity of the robot, I still feel obvious performance stiffness. This is not from the stiffness of the robot but from the stiffness of the actors themselves. The rivalry between Williams and the second lady It's like the two of them are arguing against the lines, which is very inconsistent and seems very unreal.

Robin Williams committed suicide a few years ago, no disrespect, that's just for this movie.
