To be honest, there are a lot of places that I didn't understand after reading it. After reading the analysis of many people, it is generally understood. Combine the analysis of other friends to talk about this movie. Absolutely spoilers, I recommend watching it after watching the movie. First of all, let me say a conclusion of my own, it is very likely that human beings are extinct by robots. A minute ago, I was going to say that humans play to death by themselves, and then the robots in the nursery base will automatically activate. Later, I thought wrong. If the preset is that the machine will automatically activate after the complete extinction of human beings, how can it be judged that human beings are completely extinct? Later, it turned out that the second woman had also seen other survivors. So the truth is that all robots have only one consciousness, which can be transferred to any robot at will. It almost wiped out human beings, at least it was not a climate, and only then did it activate the robots in the nursery base and possessed them to start their own new human cultivation plan. As for the robot's purpose of destroying the world and raising babies, it is still preset by humans, and cherishing human beings is better than everything else. However, human beings began to be selfish, infighting, and tossing around. The robot sees the end of this group of humans, which is the failure of the species and its self-destruction sooner or later. So the robots do it themselves, wipe out the old human beings, and cultivate new human beings by themselves. In its calculations, there are far more new humans growing up in the new world than the old humans it exterminates, and it's worth it. This is also the test done by the little girl in the movie, one person and five people, which side is more important? In this trolley problem, the robot has no moral baggage, and it gives a utilitarian answer, that is, as long as there are more new human beings, so what if the old human beings are destroyed.

There is one question that I only remembered after watching the second half, and that is why the little girl is size 3, 1 and 2? And more than 10,000 days and more than 30 years have passed, how come the little girl is only a teenager? As the plot progressed, I learned that No. 2 failed the test and was burned, and No. 1, the second female, was secretly protected by a robot and wandered outside as a reserved test question. Looking back at the first few minutes of the movie, from the extinction of human beings, the activation of robots, the beginning of the parenting plan, and the growth of the current little girl, during this period, the growth experiences of No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 were integrated together (personal opinion, not careful Look back).

Say number 1. No. 1 is a failure, from the point of view of later adulthood, selfish, suspicious, utilitarian. Trick the little girl to take her out and threaten the robot by hurting the little girl. After going out, he slowly recovered his nature, selfishness and indifference. As for the reason for taking the little girl, one is the need to escape, and the other is the fear of loneliness. She fits the characteristics and inferiority of the old human beings that are extinct by robots. Therefore, No. 1 is a failed product. The memory of the past was removed by the robot, and it was cast to the human survivors. First, it was secretly monitored, and the second was reserved for other new humans as test questions. Finally, after No. 3 took the lead, the No. 1 mission was completed and was destroyed.

Let's talk about some metaphors. I am a mother, not only is the robot is the mother of the new human beings, and I am heartbroken to cultivate five good young people; it is also the training process of a qualified mother of the new human beings. Only the No. 3 who is selfless, dedicated, loving and loving the earth is suitable to become a new human being. human mother. And it is impossible for the robot itself to become the mother of a new human being, and the species is not suitable.

After reading the analysis of some friends, I interpreted the position of No. 3's mother from a religious perspective. I don't understand it very well, so I will quote it briefly. No. 3 is the Virgin Mary who has no original sin and will be responsible for nurturing new human beings and building a new world.

As for the future direction of the story, it is estimated that it will be the beginning of a reincarnation. Simple No. 3 has experienced the destruction of the beautiful childhood given by the robot mother, and the deception of the adult woman No. 1 has not changed her original intention, but it is hard to say whether it will affect her psychology in the future. And when the robot handed over the power of the baby care base to her, facing the embryos to be bred, the background music at the beginning of the movie reminded her that she would one day embark on the path of a robot mother, and she would not be afraid of future children. do they test? Hard to say
