Before I went to bed last night, I thought it was a 3-star movie. I woke up in the morning and recollected the ending and thought I should add 1 star. This is not a slow-paced and fresh film about the friendship between humans and robots. Throughout the story, the robot has never performed an AI higher than the programming level. From the beginning to the end, it just executes the program and makes the most beneficial choice for the owner. At the end, the old man saw that everyone had the same money as his former robot friend, and eliminated the possibility of people mistakenly thinking that this was a human-machine friendship, so that the viewer clearly realized that the core of the story was The crisis of old age, nothing else. How does one face aging? The clues given in the movie are: functional decline → broken memory → loneliness → defensive stubbornness → accepting aging → letting go of defense → facing loneliness. In real life, it may vary from person to person. What prompted me to write a long review was a part of the movie: my daughter lives with her father at his father's house, but my father always wants his daughter to leave so that he can activate the robot before becoming a snitch. ——The loneliness of the elderly cannot be solved by the company of their children. It is what you have to face when you are no longer part of the social function. Everyone's loneliness as an individual. I never realized this until I was reminded by this movie. The "filial piety" advertisements on TV always imply that the elderly need the company of their children (and the subtext is that the state does not intend to be responsible for helping you in the elderly, especially for parents with only children, which is cruel at the national level), in fact many The old man may also be affected by this suggestion, eager for the company of his children like a hungry man to the point of sorrow. Once the children really live with them, they make all kinds of demands, like evil spirits that can never be satisfied. This is actually passing on the anxiety they have in the face of loneliness, transforming intrapersonal contradictions into interpersonal contradictions, which can only form a vicious circle in the end. So, face loneliness yourself, after all, loneliness is a matter of one person.
