On August 11, 2014, Robin Williams, 63, chose to hang himself and leave the world forever. The former comedian is no longer, and the regretful silence is helpless. Inventorying and recalling the many classic works of this excellent actor during his lifetime, my favorite is the sci-fi movie "The Machine Butler".
Robin Williams interprets a unique and emotional robot, Andrew, with his unique style and comedic elements, and the superb acting skills do not see the sense of inconsistency in acting as a robot as a human being. (I really don't understand how Robin was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for such a role)
Back to the topic, the setting of the story background is very avant-garde, and robots have been able to mass produce and serve humans. When the Martin family ushered in the fourth-generation new housekeeper of technological change, Andrew, the first thing to show was strangeness and doubts. Can something assembled with metal parts really get along with them and serve them? In his attitude towards Andrew, the enlightened father showed care and tolerance. He placed Andrew who had just arrived in the basement and politely asked, "Got everything you need?" Before leaving, he took the initiative to say to Andrew. Good night and tell Andrew to return with good night. After discovering Andrew's hand-made Trojan horse and intoxicated with the phonograph's melody, his father Richard could no longer regard Andrew as a decent robot. When the boss of Bei'an Company proposed to recycle Andrew, his father refused. His reason was very simple. "There is no price for individuality" (individuality is priceless) can be said that father Richard's tolerance and help to Andrew is the first driving force for Andrew to recognize the world and embark on the road of becoming a human being.
From when Andrew took the initiative to carve wood into a wooden horse and gave it to the second lady just to get the second lady's forgiveness and understanding, the second lady was full of joy and gave him the toy dog "Wang Wang". The money was handed over to Andrew, and when she asked Andrew for advice on marriage, the second lady always put Andrew in an important position. At the same time, the second lady is also a relatively heavy character in the film, which plays a key role in Andrew's enlightenment of human nature and the expression of love desires.
who I am? Where do I come from? What is my mission? This is not only a question raised by the protagonist of the robot to himself, but also a question raised by human beings themselves about the development of their own race and the meaning of their own existence.
What touched me the most was the end of the film. After 200 years of hard work (really good nb, 200 years), Andrew was finally recognized as a human being, and as the plug was pulled out, Andrew ended his life contentedly. All my life, it reminds me of Coffey in the film "Miracle in Green". He was born a monster, but he exudes the brilliance of humanity everywhere. And Paul, immortality is an unbearable pain for him.
Speaking of the last, a very classic sci-fi film with themes and ideas, paying tribute to Robin Williams.
