Love, Death and Robots Season 2 is out. Compared to the first season, the storyline is much weaker, and of course, the length of the film is much shorter. But the animation is still superb. After watching the second season, go and change the four stars of the first season to five stars. Full season spoilers:
Episode 1 "Automated Customer Service"
A fully automated society means that machines will help you with every job, including telephone customer service. If you really want to find a human customer service, please wait for more than six hours. After all, it is fully automated. The aging population is getting worse, and the plot takes place in a retirement city. It is said that there are really similar retirement cities in the United States. When the vacuum robot is used as a pest or intruder to clean up. What can you do? Fully automated customer service is useless and only allows you to purchase upgrade services. After the robot attacking you is damaged by you, the network will automatically publish all your information to the whole network, so that the robots of the whole network will hunt you down until your DNA disappears from the surface of the earth. This reminds me of cyber violence. The indiscriminate exposure of some netizens directly leads to the social death of some innocent people.
Episode 2 "Ice"
The only 16-year-old boy in a hundred light-years who has not been transformed is his brother. All the people on this planet have been transformed into higher, faster and stronger, similar to Superman. What has not been transformed becomes an outlier. The older brother is playing a running game with his younger brother and a group of teenagers. The older brother who has not been transformed is naturally inferior to the younger brother and the group of teenagers. The younger brother allows him to integrate into this new environment by faking an injury to allow him to unleash his potential. I want to show the brotherhood, but the story is too short and not very interesting. On the contrary, the last ice whale jumping out of the sea is extremely beautiful. The animation is awesome.
Episode 3 "Assault Squad"
Humans can live forever through the treatment of joy, but the living environment is harsh and space resources are limited. If the old man does not go, naturally there will be no living space for the new man. So childbirth is not allowed. Which would you choose between eternal youth and reproduction? It seems that there is no need to answer, the vast majority of people choose the former, the latter behavior is not allowed, so reputation is illegal. Children are going to die. In the play, a mother said that she has lived 218 years and has seen too many people with empty eyes, but only the eyes of children are bright. It's selfish to let yourself live forever, but isn't it not selfish to bring your child to such a disallowed and harsh environment to satisfy your own desires? Whether it is necessary to reproduce offspring can make life meaningful, and it is meaningless to spend decades to refine one's artistic attainments. This is a benevolent thing. Some people said that this episode was spawned, but I really didn't see it.
Episode 4: Snow in the Desert
Day and night are reversed, nocturnal activity, daytime sleep, this is not the earth. The body of the protagonist Snow will produce a special release of gonads, which can regenerate cells and immortalize them. So he was hunted down by bounty hunters, and someone offered a bounty for his testicles, just for immortality. Snow's wife committed suicide because she could not accept that she was getting old and her husband was immortal. Snow has lived alone on this planet for decades, evading pursuit and ordering a fruit from the earth from time to time: strawberries. In a chase, I met the heroine, a robot with a synthetic body and ceramic bones, but a human spine and nerve tissue and brain (I don't know how to name this species). The lonely souls of the two defeated the enemy together and lived happily together.
Episode 5: Tall Grass
At 0:40 midnight, the boiler was running out of power and the train stopped. The man with glasses got out of the car and smoked a cigarette, and saw the grass beside the track flashing fluorescent light. Curiosity makes it. Drill into the grass to find a source of light. It turned out that the fluorescent light was emitted by an evil ghost, and he was chased by the evil ghost. The train did not wait for him to start, and his life was hanging by a thread. The conductor came over with a torch to save the man with glasses, and finally the two caught up with the train together.
The last dialogue is kind of interesting.
"What are those things?"
"Most of them were once human, in my opinion. Maybe some got lost while crossing the plains. Maybe others got off the train in the wrong place. I can't tell."
"This kind of thing... happened before or?"
"It happens every now and then. The train always loses power as soon as it gets here. And then there's a door that opens. I guess it's a door to other worlds."
In the course of life, many people get lost or get off at the wrong place because of some temptation. Going off track will never come back.
Episode 6 "The Whole House"
On Christmas Eve, my sister and brother were woken up in the middle of the night by the sound, thinking that it was Santa Claus coming to deliver gifts, so they got up and wanted to see what Santa Claus looked like. What he saw was a hideous-looking monster. The monster spit out the two people's Christmas gifts and told: continue to be a good boy. The younger brother opened the gift and found that it was exactly what he wanted. If a good child can get the gift he wants, what if he is not a good child? The two siblings probably couldn't sleep that night. The feature film is less than six minutes. The story is very simple.
Episode 7 "Living Cabin"
After finishing the attack mission, the pilot landed on a planet. Oxygen was running out and he found a house of life. As a result, the house of life was destroyed. Just as he was about to send a rescue message, the maintenance robot had a bug and started attacking the pilot. Carrying out such a dangerous attack mission did not let him die, and the result is going to be killed on this buggy maintenance robot. In a flash, he remembered that he had a flashlight in his pocket. So use the light source of the flashlight to let the maintenance robot destroy itself, the story oevr. So, what is the story trying to say?
Episode 8 "The Drowning Giant"
A drowning giant was stranded on the beach, attracting countless onlookers. The entire film is based on the perspective and narration of a researcher. The first person to climb the giant's corpse was applauded like a brave man, and those who watched paid attention to playing on the giant's corpse and dancing on the giant's nose. People gathered here from the initial curiosity, and the time passed, the curiosity slowly dissipated, and the crowd gradually dispersed. The corpse of the giant also began to rot from the appearance of the hero in "Odyssey" at the beginning. After a few months, the giant has begun to be forgotten. Except for the occasional giant's bones in the town that occasionally reminds me that such a thing happened. Compared with the previous 7 episodes, perhaps because of the researcher's philosophical narration interpretation, this story seems a little more meaningful.
