After watching "Future Machine City" on Netflix, Chen Xiaochun sang inexplicably "I like you. It is my exclusive memory. No one can take you from my body..."
I have to admit that AI has become an irreversible trend in the world today. As a sci-fi movie, "Future Machine City" takes this trend to the extreme. Everything is AI, a toothbrush robot incarnate as a Kung Fu master, a cute instant noodle robot, and a comb that can sing and create a hairstyle. Robots, commuter robots carrying people flying in the sky, business assistant robots that do everything in their work... But in spite of this, this animated movie based on the concept of "sci-fi" and artificial intelligence, ostensibly tells about humans and intelligence. In the future world where robots coexist, the contradiction between the two species is essentially still a story about emotion and growth.
The story of "Future Machine City" is not complicated: a new robot 7723 that is about to be used to save mankind will meet the rebellious girl Su Mai by chance. A middle school girl with indifferent and lonely character and a powerful robot have gradually become important to each other. However, the good times did not last long. The big BOSS with the dream of destroying mankind tracked the whereabouts of the robot 7723. After many obstacles, in the end, 7723 and Mai defeated the big BOSS and accompany each other again.
Every frame of the whole movie is very beautiful, and the color and detail processing can show the intentions of the production team. The movie posters used two colors ingeniously, and cleverly used the warm and cold water surface to show the two states of the characters. The warm color implies a beautiful companionship, and the devastation in the cold color shows contradictions.
The background music in the film may be cheerful, sad, or tense. It has a sense of substitution and breaks through and restricts the plot, forming a kind of tension. Generally speaking, the scene and the background music that is just right and enhances the atmosphere of the film also adds a lot to the film. Although the storyline is slightly thin, and there are several bugs that hinder the film, such as the super awesome research and development of 7723 Dr. Mi, who was killed easily and without warning; for example, the villain’s personal settings are not well laid out and lack logic. , The reason for the destruction of the world is very far-fetched; for example, the Chinese elements that are forced in but are not harmonious. However, the warm core elements of this movie still touched me, and that is-about companionship and memory.
In "Future Machine City", Mai's father left when she was a child, and her mother was unable to face the breakdown of the family, indulging in the short-term comfort of robots, neglecting communication with her daughter Mai, and neglecting the care and care of Mai , And only a dog named Momo stayed with her. This makes Mai a rebellious and indifferent girl. This part is actually very reflective. A lot of human daily communication and emotional communication are cut off by the highly developed technology. While the machine facilitates people's life, is it also constraining people's emotions?
The beginning of the film shows that Mai is very disgusted with robots. When I watched it, I found that Mai only hated the robot that draws his mother’s attention away because he was too eager for his mother’s attention and company. He hated this robot that even made instant noodles into a robot. Icy world.
The appearance of the new robot 7723 in wheat's life is purely an accident. Seeing that after a brief meeting and parting, 7723 broke through the obstacles and followed all the way to Mai's home. It reminded me of a sentence: In order to be by your side, I am willing to make every effort. When I saw there, I began to suspect that the friendship between 7723 and Mai is definitely friendship, isn't it love?
Of course, this is not the point. The focus is on the theme of "limited memory space", which is really new in artificial intelligence sci-fi movies. In "Future Machine City", 7723 must delete a piece of memory every day to ensure normal function. As there are more and more memories with Mai, 7723 becomes more and more difficult when choosing to delete memories.
In an accident, Wheat learned the secret of 7723 deleting memories. The conversation that took place in the garage made people see tears. Wheat asked 7723: "How do you know which to keep?" (How do you know which memories to keep?) Faced with the memory fragments in front of me, 7723 replied: "I keep important ones." (I keep important ones.) And in all important memories, there is wheat.
When Mai saw that he first met 7723, that was not a good memory segment, and begged 7723 to delete it. After 7723 agreed to delete, Mai asked cautiously: "Does it hurt?" (Does it hurt?)
"I don't know. Once it's gone, it's nothing, like it was never there." A seemingly soft but very hard punch hit people's hearts. Memories are very important to everyone. Pieces of memory, put together, define who we are now, and it is the proof of our existence in the world. Once you lose your memory, it's like you've never lived before.
"If you have to delete a memory every day to survive, how would you choose?" The setting in this video is like a cruel torture. If there is a person in your heart, any memories related to this person, those time spent together, have left indelible traces in their lives, how can people bear to erase them?
What's more cruel is that no matter how important the person is, one day, he will leave him. At that time, only the memories related to him/her will accompany him. It's like the classic line in "Evil and West Poison": "I once heard people say that when you can no longer have it. The only thing you can do is to let yourself not forget."
7723 chose to delete his weapon system in order not to delete Hemai's memory. In the underground waterway, 7723 explained to Wheat the reason why he could not use weapons. However, Wheat was still taken away by the villain because of his mother, and turned to 7723. She left 7723 and went to the IQ Robert Center alone to fight back, hoping to rescue her mother. Not surprisingly, despite being misunderstood and slandered by Wheat, 7723 still went to help.
In the film, the scene of the fight in the IQ Robert building, with background music, is very cool. It is especially worth mentioning that the dialogue between 7723 and Mai during that fight perfectly interprets what is called "Loyal companionship".
Wheat refused the help of 7723 and shouted "I've been doing it my whole life."
The somewhat guilty but persistent 7723 said: "You're not alone. A lot of people let you down, but you're not alone." (You are not alone. Many people let you down, but you are not alone. )
The wheat who has lost his reason roared: "If i'm not alone that means i've brought you down into my garbage life, Is that really where you want to be? Pulled into my life like garbage, is this really where you want to stay?)
"Nowhere else." (Other than that, there is no other place.)
Yes, I don't want to go anywhere except by your side. Everything related to you is my most important memory, and your side is where I want to be the most. A science fiction movie shows this pure emotion to the fullest, which makes people move and admire.
I have always held a very neutral attitude towards artificial intelligence. The development of science and technology to this day has indeed changed the world, and at the same time has affected human emotions to varying degrees. An undeniable impact is that the function of emotional communication between people is gradually degrading, and it is replaced by people and machines. Long-term companionship. Mother Wheat’s high dependence on artificial intelligence is just as much as many of us now rely on mobile phones and computers. "Future Machine City" cleverly designed these practical issues in the story, presumably it also hopes to arouse everyone's thinking and reflection.
In "Exclusive Memories", the phrase "I'm sorry, no one has a time machine, it's over, there is no room for negotiation." It's like our time. No matter how advanced AI is, human beings cannot create a time machine, and we will not be able to go back to the more simple and humane era. However, as it is written in Yi Shu's book-everyone still longs to be loved and loved. No matter how advanced technology is, people's hearts will remain unchanged.
