Finally finished, it is undeniable that this is a magical drama, which has carried out the thinking of AI vs human, and extended the deep thinking of "Who am I? Who is the Creator?". But the show has come to the second season with many problems, including rhythm, logic, etc. This is the first time to write a long review. There are problems such as messy, sloppy and subjective. Welcome to discuss.
The mutual testing between Bernard and Dolores is something I am deeply impressed by, like two Alpha Go pecking each other. The particularity of Dolores is also set very deliberately. The director told us that she is special not only that she is the first host, but also because she will learn the creator's behavior in the process of being created, so why is she the only one who observes it? She is not the only one in the original host. I feel that the director lacks foreshadowing, and only blindly instills the concept of "Dolores is born to be the savior of AI", which is really lazy!
This paragraph is followed by Teddy's suicide and Mave looking for her daughter. I can't help but sigh that even AI is hampered by this after gaining emotion. In this respect, it is no different from human beings. But Teddy's process from his sudden awakening to his sudden conscience discovery was too hastily arranged. The whole one-tool man only lived to help Dolores perfect his emotional area.
But every time I turn to the design department and QA of the headquarters, I am very puzzled - why is it always empty? Monitoring is also like a display. A company with such a high level of technology should have a biological data monitoring system that can distinguish other abnormal behaviors of non-employees. Whether it is the first season or the second season, the vacancy in security and prevention and control is more like a hard concave by the director, actively providing space for the follow-up plot.
Mave taking the bison out is the second most impressive scene for me. But I don't agree with her later statement "I saved myself", because even if she tries to sense the surrounding hosts by herself, she still needs the power of others. A casual mention: Are villains really easy to die of talking too much?
The scene of Mave in front of the gate of the virtual world is full of religious overtones. As the first awakener and thought transmitter, her whole body is full of divine colors. (But it stands to reason that she can change her wishes after Clementine's death, so as to save more hosts. I still think this is just a far-fetched setting made by the director to create a corpse floating in the sea)
There is actually a problem with Dolores and the man in black. The man in black can choose to shoot the head instead of shooting at the same small body of the robot. Children who beat zombies know that they will get headshots, not to mention that as a big boss, he is fully aware that the unit cognition of AI is stored in the brain instead of the lungs. It feels that the director of this section manually weakened the fighting power of the man in black compared to the first season in order to export the story of Dolores entering the forge. The man in black who was knocked out by Dolores didn't work anymore, so what's the difference between him being knocked out in another position?
Hale is a character I don't like very much. The director seems to be particularly bad at creating strong female characters. Whether it is the former QA boss or Hale, they both look more and more empty. , every decision was made by chance, not as charismatic as Bernard's men. (I still like POI for female characters)
As for Bernard, I don't think his character charisma is built. I believe he's a gentle man, but I don't think he's a widower. However, in the tenth episode, he is particularly indecisive when facing Dolores. After judging what he should do, he still spends a lot of time watching Dolores destroy the console and destroy the pump, and then kill her. I don't need to convince me that he is reluctant or is still breaking up, I think the director just wanted to save time to create the shocking picture of the corpse floating in the ocean at the beginning of the second season.
After watching the second season, my disappointment with human beings could not help but permeate to the extreme. Combined with the recent epidemic and various events on the Internet, I feel that it is time to resume work or destroy it.
But whenever I'm so disappointed, I can't help but think of Disney in Orlando, where there seems to be no negativity, just good things. The Delos company spied on all visitors in order to extract data on real people, so what if Disney spied too? If so will record all happiness?
