Adam, the people's robot

The final battle of the story, Adam and Zeus, to the end is actually a return to the fighting spirit. When Adam’s voice system was damaged, Adam used visual imitation technology to simulate Charlie’s actions. In fact, it has become a battle between humans and machines. Adam is just the medium. Behind Zeus are the Russian beauty boss and Japanese Masato. Russia has been a huge threat to the United States from its predecessor to the Soviet Union until now, and Japanese manufacturing has always been a representative of high technology and quality. This time the Americans used Adam, which they picked out from the garbage dump and added some DIY assembly, to defeat Zeus, which was paid by the Russians and precisely manufactured by the Japanese. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of Americans' inner desire. Americans are eager to find their own robots from the garbage dump that they have regarded themselves, and overcome the threats of increasingly powerful nations. So why the former "noise boy" was quickly dismembered, because that bridge segment shows a truth. If Americans think that they can win the game by just getting some so-called sub-advanced equipment, the inevitable result can only be failure. Even the 11-year-old Max understands this truth, but the adult Charlie does not. And when Max and his DIY Adam appeared in the Robot Zoo for the first time, Charlie showed a kind of cowardice, because he did not believe that the equipment he assembled could do much. This is also a problem for the American people. With the emergence of more and more Chinese-made, Japanese-made, and Vietnamese-made products in the country, the American people seem to have put a big question mark on American manufacturing. The drawbacks of all relying on external policies and guidelines are here. In a financial crisis, it was revealed again that Americans need to regain their own confidence, not only in the American spirit, but also in the confidence made in the United States.
Charlie showed the characteristics of a gambler from the beginning, especially the phone call at the beginning. Because of too much debt, he himself couldn't tell which creditor was calling. This is also very similar to the current financial crisis in the United States. As we all know, the United States is a large debtor country and basically depends on borrowing to survive. Both the people and the government are very accustomed to borrowing. The result was "come out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later." Charlie was paid back, the money was gone, and he was beaten up; the one who beat Charlie finally took a gamble and was caught by another person. Can't get out. There is such a detail in the film. Each time one of the parties asks before gambling, "Have you brought that much money?" The other party confidently said, "Take the money with you, don't worry." In fact, they know it all in their hearts. , The other party has no money, this is just a mutual deception, like the emperor's new clothes, both of them are naked, and they are still praising each other's jeans for being handsome. This is also the reflection of the subprime mortgage crisis. Everyone thinks that they have money. Once someone tells the truth, everyone wakes up from self-deception and finds that everyone is walking around the street with bare buttocks. At this moment, everyone’s only purpose was to find a manufacturer of trousers. After all, only one manufacturer of trousers closed down. Everyone knows why the financial crisis happened at this moment, and many financial giants have fallen one after another.
In the last game, Zeus won by a narrow margin through the referee's penalty. This is a great irony, because everyone knew from the beginning that the beautiful boss was wealthy and controlled the entire robot fighting league. It is easy to spend a small amount of money to win such a victory. What is even more ironic is when she was asked by the interviewer: "Some people say that you have won the victory and lost the heart." She still replied confidently, "Zeus is invincible. The world is number one", and the boo is the answer given to her by the people. This is a great irony to the US government. This Russian-American seems to represent Americans of all descents, including US President Barack Obama. As the first black president, Obama is always full of aura. His passionate speeches have attracted many Americans, but he has not performed better than his predecessors in handling the financial crisis. , Even slightly inferior. But his passionate public speeches are just like that beautiful boss. Although he emphasizes that the United States is still strong, the American people do not buy it, and it always feels like the end of the war. So the end of the final battle in this way is full of interesting places. The government can obtain that weak victory through various means, but the lost hearts of the people are hard to recover.
The term "people's robot" is very natural and exciting. However, as a Chinese audience, there are some small gloats. The United States has always advertised "freedom and democracy." From the perspective of this film at the time, American artists were also a little hysterical. In this way, they expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the current deformities of American society. This world is by no means a world of a few people. The world belongs to everyone, and everyone has the right to enjoy all the beautiful things that this world brings, not just the privileges of a few people. "People's Robot" is the final definition of "Steel Fist", and it is also the idea that the director and screenwriter of this show want to express to everyone. People should be more than everything. However, entertainment is just entertainment, and it does not necessarily have so many responsibilities. Play is like life, and life is like play. Why should it be so serious?
