Story In a fictional future, people begin to use robots on a large scale to serve society and daily life. At the beginning of the film, the host purchased an artificial intelligence-based home anthropomorphic robot from Bei'an Robot Company for his family, named Andrew. It can not only communicate freely with people, but also help people with various manual labors and serve as servants. people and housekeepers. The male protagonist is a family of four, a couple and two daughters, which the editor calls "the big princess" and "the big princess". At the beginning, except for the male host, the whole family was not used to this big guy being around all day, but slowly Andrew's serious and caring service made the hostess like it too.
In the film, Andrew gradually shows that it is different from other robots. He seems to have autonomous consciousness, and treats everything more like a person, with emotional performance. Accidentally broke the little princess's beloved glass horse, the little princess was very sad. It picked up dead wood from the beach, studied and carved books by itself, and made a wood-carved horse for the little princess. The little princess liked it very much and showed it to the male host. The male host keenly discovered Andrew's special features. It is important to know that creativity and art are unique to human beings, and important manifestations that distinguish humans and machines. The host took Andrew to the company for inspection. The company found out the seriousness of the problem and suggested replacing a new robot as compensation to destroy Andrew's brain, who had self-consciousness. But the host was firmly opposed and threatened if the company dared to hurt Andrew. The brain processor and memory will go to the law, and to give Andrew a more anthropomorphic appearance. Since then, Andrew has started continuous evolution and development.
Andrew began to listen to music, paint and design handicrafts, and his status in the family gradually ceased to be a tool and became a member of the family. I have to say that the master is a very discerning master, he gave Andrew more time to let him do what he likes, and began to try to give him his own ancestral craftsmanship - making clocks, due to Andrew's superb design and precision Assembled, Andrew's timepieces sold for a lot of money.
Andrew became more and more like a person with his own mind and consciousness, and he became more and more like two equal friends when talking to the host. As the years passed, one day Andrew proposed that he wanted to have his own account to save the clocks he sold, and it was no longer a household appliance belonging to the male owner, and he wanted to move out and live in a house of his own design. It seems that he is already pursuing the existence of an independent "person", and the hero is broad-minded, full of miraculous awe, and kindly allows it, hoping that it can live freely according to its own will.
During this period, there were also unspeakable feelings between Andrew and the little princess who grew up. Sometimes the little princess would involuntarily have the kind of complex male and female feelings that only humans have to Andrew, but although Andrew began to wear clothes and went to Bei'an Company updated a more anthropomorphic appearance and rich facial expressions, but the little princess knew that she and her beloved Andrew, this robot could not be combined in the end, and Andrew also watched the little princess finally marry and become a mother, The third generation of the little princess was born. Watching his beloved little princess marry someone else, Andrew couldn't calm down in his heart. He was jealous, sad and resentful. What a complicated human emotion.
With the passage of time, the male host has grown old, and Andrew, who has become a member of the family and is independent, holds the hand of the former owner, now a relative and a lifelong friend and teacher, and accompanies him when he finishes his life. Last ride. Regarding the disappearance of life, the return of the soul and the short but precious time in life, Andrew has countless doubts in his heart, and he wants to find the meaning of life. So he resolutely left its relatives and her little princess, and went to every corner of the world to find a robot that has the same human consciousness and mind as it. After many years, it still has no harvest. Until by chance, he met a down-and-out super-machine-making genius, and Andrew invested him in his research. It was convinced that it was the only robot with human consciousness in the world. people.

The little princess' girl, the little princess, has also grown up, and has inherited her mother's excellent qualities and almost identical appearance. God seems to have given Andrew another chance. He and the little princess also fell in love. It seems to be making up for the previous generation. It is a pity that it is impossible to combine. After so many years of transformation and upgrades, Andrew has become more and more human in appearance except for his brain and essence. He can cry, breathe and have skin, and even enjoy the joy of the sexes between men and women.
In order to become a real person, Andrew went to the court to ask the law to recognize that he was already an individual. This is the rarest case in human history. After deliberation, the justices believed that it could not be regarded as a human being because of its infinite life, and rejected it many times. At the request of Andrew, Andrew constantly remodeled himself, replacing human muscles and tissues, replacing mechanical parts. It and the little princess have been married and lived together. This process has lasted for many years. With the continuous research and efforts of talented scientists, it gave up its infinite life and became an aging and sick person. In order to stop watching the people he cares about and love disappear from his eyes and die before his eyes, he wants to end this pain and exercise his rights as a person, the right to life and death, and life has the characteristics of ending.
At the end of the film, Andrew holds the hand of the little princess, full of weak and dying whispers, he finally ushered in the final recognition of the law, Andrew is a real human being, how many years has he waited to change How many justices have passed away and sent three generations away. At the last moment of his life, he walked peacefully in front of the little princess and closed his eyes forever.
