It is undeniable that the heroine's character has certain shortcomings. But there is a lot of criticism about the behavior of "destroying robots" in film critics.
I haven't seen anyone mention a scene in the film: the future city already has the economic and technological foundation and cultural atmosphere of quality education, but all the students sitting in the classroom are interacting and playing with the robot, and the robot teacher who is lecturing also sits and watches. The children are either wearing virtual reality glasses playing games with intoxicated faces, or pulling the robot to jump up and down, but the rebellious wheat is relatively serious in studying - trying to listen to the lectures and showing disgust and contempt for the actions of the surrounding classmates.
That moment, though brief in the movie, immediately evokes associations like stone fire. I think of the bloated and inactive puppets in the spaceships of "Robots", and the drunken human batteries in "The Matrix". I don't know how education is divided into classes here, but in short, there are only two possible outcomes of education in the film: all people are ignorant and human development goes downhill; Classes are formed naturally. From the ruler's rational understanding of development, the latter seems more likely. ——This is like a "Brave New World". In the embryonic period, people's dignity is determined to maintain stability, and then all people are paralyzed by indulgence and pleasure, turning into lust for walking, until they are inhuman.
Perhaps because of the fear of the dark style, or because of certain confidence in the future, the film does not see other symptoms of a high-tech utopia at the whole social level (not counting the final self-destructing robot - an abnormal conspiracy). If the film reflects this more fully, perhaps wheat's so-called sabotage will be more like an act of rebellion against utopia that has not yet been conscious. Of course, this requires dealing with the contradiction between human-machine friendship and dystopia.
It may be more meaningful if Baoman can properly put down the box office of the younger age group and shoot a warm dystopian work.
Ps: Personally, I still believe in science more than politics, so I prefer "1984" in dystopian works.
