1. Who is the creator?
The first scene of the film is intriguing: Professor Hobby is expressing his own high-level theory in the room, and outside the window is a sculpture symbolizing the company (the image of an abstracted person, perseverance and strength, appears many times in the film), and the strong light makes It appears dim and sacred. I can't help thinking of medieval Gothic churches, towering spires, and light shining through colorful glass, highlighting the majesty and religious authority of the church. People pray and confess religiously... and at this time, human beings take their place. , Become an idol of worship. In this interesting composition, the image of Professor Hobby is always clear and clear, while the sculpture in the depth of field is vague and insignificant. Professor Hobby's bright forehead and deep eyes always remind us: In this era of highly developed technology, human beings are overwhelming and powerful everywhere on the earth.
In such an era, who is the creator? God? No, Nietzsche declared its death as early as Nietzsche, science has deciphered everything, the world has lost its magic and mystery, religion has lost its sacredness, and mankind has abandoned awe. When human beings feel their own power, they require themselves to play the role of creator. Isn't Professor Hobby a typical one? He wants to make Mecha who knows love. At the end of the film, David found countless himself on the assembly line in Professor Hobby’s office. It says "At last---A love of your own". I don’t know that I have a heart of self-love. What is the difference between Mecha and human beings. But are human beings qualified to be the creator? Let's enter the Flesh Fair to take a look.
2. Flesh Fair
This is a bizarre world that combines the ancient Roman Colosseum and modern rock concerts. Just as there are people who oppose globalization today, there are also many who oppose the abuse of Mecha in that era. Human beings are strongly aware of their own crisis. Technology is a sharp double-tenacity sword, step by step to dig its own grave for mankind. People who have seen the doomsday but are unable to return to heaven meet in despair, get unnecessary pleasure in the crazy slaughter of Mecha, and enjoy the last carnival.
Look at the Mechas in the cage, they beg for mercy and comfort each other, and then look at the indifference and clamor of Orgas of all ages on the stage in the face of cruel shelling, slashing, and five horses, I don’t know how to say "I think mecha is more humane." "Is it ridiculous, but this is how flesh fair feels to me. If the Roman Athletic demonstrates human power in addition to the blood, then this is the slaughter (destruction?) of humanity. Technology does not give people truth, goodness and beauty. The world of omniscience eliminates human piety and awe. In fear and confusion, the nature of evil is exposed to the full. However, the brutal destruction of mecha is in fact futile, even joe is aware of it. "When the end of the world comes, what’s left will be us mecha, not humans."
Thomas Kus believes that technology is not constantly improving, and constantly guiding human beings to the greater and greater truth, but just constantly problem found. I was thinking, what do humans do when there are too many problems to solve? Not only will human beings fail to become the creator of the world, but they will also lose the entire world.
3. The meaning of David's suicide.
I dare not confirm whether David's jump into the deep sea is considered suicide, but if I misunderstand this, it can lead to an interesting topic.
We can first explore the possibility of human suicide in that era. If we define suicide in the general sense as the final impact on the meaningless borders of the ambiguous world (by Liu Xiaofeng), we can exclude suicide caused by accidental disconnection of secular things. What we want to pursue is whether the people of that era still have the value beliefs on which they can settle down. It is conceivable that at that time the belief and value basis of near-agent thinking, both God and rational science have been subverted, and it is impossible to be convinced of their own value by pursuing artistic aesthetics. People no longer think about the existence of meaning in the world, but use nothingness. The capital of lust and desire, Rouyh City, is a true portrayal of that era.
Since humans no longer seek death, David's suicidal behavior as a robot is even more meaningful. Can we think of David as a condensed and portrayal of human history? He was created for the same purpose as God created Adam for love; he was entered into the program by Monica, so finding and obtaining maternal love became his ultimate goal; also as the Bible says, he must suffer exile and hardship, even Experiencing death is a process of self-salvation. In the end, he prayed devoutly-mankind has only come to this point at present. It's just that Spielberg added a bright tail to it, making David's dream come true.
David's jump into the sea was his new life. Before he was captured, Joe shouted: "I am, I was." Mecha secretly reached the end in his own pursuit. Does this imply the demise of mankind or hope? We will all have our own readings and answers...
