Don't be persuaded by low scores and translated names

The score of 6.8 is true and I don't understand

Look at the factory logo and the beginning, you know that it is an unpopular minority

And the huge impact of the reversal at the end makes me unable to deny that this is a masterpiece

The lonely hero of the snowy air base robot has a good tone at the beginning and has a taste of sci-fi thriller

Later, after reading the introduction of the team, I realized that this familiar feeling is called "Moon"

The previous part is indeed quite mysterious and the plot is clear without a click

But when J2 talked about having a dream, it almost became clear

Will a robot dream of a scumbag? (

J2 really thought it was going to be a thriller when he untied the tape

As a result, I bid farewell to J1 and left the little robot I found, and walked towards the center of the lake alone.

There is no ripple left on the water at the end

It’s really touching here. I never thought I could be moved by suicide like a robot.

At the same time, the portrayal of J1 is relatively clumsy and can’t speak, but he has been waiting for the male lead in the rain without going back.

All in all, the explanation of the ethics of science and technology is also obvious. The three generations of robots are part of the life of the male protagonist’s wife in a sense, but they also have their own consciousness and even feelings.

Otherwise, why J2 suddenly fell down and the hardware was completely fine, but she said, "That doesn't mean it's okay."

This is cruel to them anyway

Of course the magic of the whole film is the final reversal

The chip has been transplanted. The crisis is also inexplicably like it has never happened. Why does the phone still ring?

The host picked it up. Why does the wife know that this is the last call? Why can she contact the real archives company again?

What's the matter with the child's voice?

When I saw this, I thought the world inside was too real and complete to give birth to a child. You can contact the company.

But when the picture gradually becomes digital and fuzzy, the sense of shock is difficult to erase in a short time.

No wonder the safety system of the laboratory always has inexplicable problems

No wonder he has never been able to actively contact his wife but his wife contacted him

No wonder even his communication with company personnel had problems at the end.

It’s no wonder the male owner’s memories after the car accident never appeared

This reversal also leads to the second theme, our attitude towards passing away

Obviously J3's words are for us to answer "she is dead"

Maybe it’s still a cliché: letting go is the best gesture, even if it’s goodbye

After all, even if the memory and thinking are preserved, there will always be a day when it will fail. There will always be a day when we say goodbye.

We will all experience the day we can only say goodbye

Of course, this kind of reversal does somewhat eliminate the theme of the first half. The two themes will also appear a bit complicated and each other is not highlighted, but they still have a strong depth when they are explained separately.

Maybe the director is too ambitious and wants to talk too much.

As for whether the relevant topics have been mentioned by the predecessors and a lot of reference and tribute, there are not many films and can not be judged, but the impression of itself is already good.

The image language is also very good. In addition to the snowy air base, there is also Japanese and a slight cyberpunk atmosphere. It seems that the quality of the whole film can be roughly seen from the lens.
