Are the robots killed by 7723 without life in the animation?

After watching "Future Machine City", my biggest feeling is to be angry, very angry, the more I think about it, the more angry, lethality = "villain angel" + "crazy alien"

The following contains a lot of spoilers, only representing personal views

At the beginning of the film, a few lines of words are typed out. The font is well-known as the dull Song Ti, and it appears on the screen without special treatment, so it can't arouse empathy, and it can't create a beautiful memory point.

When the AI ​​world was initially revealed, the robots played with some language stalks, and the structure and plot of the virtual world surprised me. The combs, instant noodles, and toothbrushes until the police are all cute and amiable after all AIs are what they looked like in an imaginary composition written in elementary school. When everything is mechanized, and when robots are sexualized, Wheat feels that he has lost communication and vitality, and travels between home and school lonely and rebelliously. These all moved me.

But when 7723, a robot called "imperfect but certainly just" by the scientist, appeared, in order to return the bag to the wheat, it easily hacked and killed the police, blasted road vehicles at will, laser beams and guns, and seemed to destroy inanimate bodies like cutting fruits. Destroying those robots that are just maintaining normal order. Did the producer forget the worlds created by this structure, and forget that they are alive?

The subsequent development of the plot made me feel angry, disappointed and questioned about Mai and 7723. If the wheat used 7723 to teach several schoolmasters just to resist, but they ran and played in the city on the street together, they chopped and chopped in half when they encountered garbage robots, and bombarded them with laser cannons when they encountered the postman robots. Cheers and laughs, and become the most precious memory of happiness and friendship between both parties. I don't know if this can be a precious memory, or even if it is happy. After seeing the distorted and meaningless zombies, Hayao Miyazaki was angry at the producer's disrespect for life. And I also want to ask the producer of the future machine city the same question, whether these hacked and rendered as happy clips violate the value of life and the concept of animation.

And after being angry with this value, the plot is flawed and I can't ignore it. Even though the logic of the whole story can be interoperable, it is too reluctant to confuse the audience, that is, it lacks roughness of polishing. After the robot was made, he followed Mai and regarded her as a precious friend; the story of father and mother is not clear. A good story is that although the story is not explained but the window is left, the story is obviously closed after the story is finished, so it is also There is a lack of thinking points and extension points; scientists die easily, robots will suddenly destroy humans, and fights only choose football fields, urban centers and other prosperous areas...

This lack of roughness is also reflected in the lines. Friendly exchanges, but there is no dialogue that can trigger thinking or have a sense of beauty. Some are just empty and pale words such as "I like you, I want to be with you forever, and I cover you." Two-thirds of the laughter in the whole film comes from the language stalks of the robots. Internet language is frequent, and the pale routine language is pronounced with the machine sound, creating cheap and extremely boring laughs.

Future Machine City is an animation, which means that at least part of its audience is children. Momo is the cutest puppy in the film and the most popular character in the film. But half of its laughter comes from full of swear words, the constant appearance of "Your uncle! What are you doing to provoke me" in the film, etc., although it does not hurt in the eyes of adults, it is also in American blockbusters. Often fuck in series, but it is a feature film, not a cartoon. Children don’t understand the Internet language of other robots, but what they hear in the cute buns is grumpy and rude. This is a laugh in the film, it’s cute. Sorry, what I don't want my kids to see in the cinema is that they treat hacking as happiness and rudeness as cute.

In general, the future robot should be a qualified domestic animation. The image design and soundtrack can be seen in the shadow of American animation movies, but the values ​​are indifferent to life and the lack of polish in the plot lines makes me really It is impossible to make a qualified evaluation. To make a movie or make an animation, first of all is to feel life, so that the audience can resonate and become better.
