My childhood memories of RoboCop have been blurred to the point where I can only remember the shape, but the shock level when I first saw a full-body machine with only the chin exposed has been unforgettable. Thanks to the ever-changing digital technology, in this film, Murphy wakes up and looks at himself in the mirror with only his brain and some internal organs left. This scene is even more heart-pounding and hard to breathe. This level cannot be PG-13... In fact, Murphy Fei still retains most of her body after the explosion, but in order to dig deeper human nature problems, poor Murphy can only have one leg amputated...and another arm...and then... oh, yes , and the skull. This naturally leads to the classic philosophical discussion, what can be called a "human", imagine, now there is a person standing in front of you, a complete person, let's first remove one foot from him and replace it with a mechanical one , then everyone must still think that he is a "person", go on, replace the other foot, still a "person", and then replace the leg...arm, or? Then... the torso... the head... all changed! This is absolutely a robot, wait, after which step will it stop being human? How much is the machine? 42%? 87.53%? Some people will say that as long as there is a brain, a soul, feelings and thinking, that is "people", but our great Dr. Sirius will tell you immediately, "people"'s feelings can be deleted, and people's thinking can be deceived Yes, do you really think you are you, do you really think this he is still "he" instead of "it"? And this is not in-depth and complicated, limited to the setting of this film, the robot has not yet produced artificial intelligence, otherwise it is Ghost in the Shell.
Are Robocops humans or machines? This is the part that is responsible for the connotation of this film. Just as Iron Man is always wondering, whether the hero in people's mouth is Armor or Stark, Hollywood movies always want the audience to think about something. It's a pity that it's just for you to think about it, and the discussion ends here. In fact, the most shocking thing in the film is that the doctor removes Murphy's feelings by reducing dopamine (for neuroscience, this is a bit simple), and implanting a chip in his brain makes the program take over the body in a combat state. The best thing about doing this is that it can make Murphy think that it is his own subjective will and free will. When you think about it, this is terrible, and it is indistinguishable from the misery of living in a mother's body. It is a pity that this film did not do further discussion (and it can't be discussed further), and arranged for the protagonist to break through the restrictions of the program with strong emotions and free will under the stimulation of his wife and children. The chip-level control strength is It’s just a layer of film, and it will be broken if you are cruel. Such a relaxed and pleasant setting is really convenient. The struggle (well, there’s not much meat actually), it’s good to have some close-ups of facial expressions to let the actors play freely. This is simply taken away, and the smart IQ has occupied the high ground again.
The ending is not to be mentioned, inexplicably everyone is happy, familiar and accustomed, the always smart big boss and his think tank suddenly become two, facing the possible future business disadvantage on the one hand, and the possibility of being suddenly killed by a machine gun, they have no choice but to turn back. After the latter, he used his life to interpret the noble character of Chengren, who will never join the protagonist. He walked away calmly and silently, he must have understood the profound meaning of the boss.
The casting of the Doctor is very good. I feel that Gary Oldman is the perfect choice. Originally, the doctor's reversal had no foreshadowing, which was a little far-fetched, but after the subtle changes in Sirius' eyes, movements and expressions, people were convinced a lot. , worthy of being an old actor in the acting school.
There are quite a few loopholes. For example, when Murphy was connected to the database and the camera, nearly a thousand suspects were immediately found. However, the database has already existed, and the program has been placed here early in the morning. What did the police uncles do before? ?
This film can also be used as publicity materials for media communication and group psychology. In the film, we can easily see how the media manipulates the direction of public opinion, thereby affecting the moral judgment of the society as a whole. Really, because you can't see it all. Samuel L. Jackson, the equally great representative of the acting school and the forever behind-the-scenes eldest brother, has successfully created an image of a host with strong prejudice, indignant expressions, seemingly logical words, and finally a rude beep~ ~This part is so cute. It turns out that American media programs can have such a strong political inclination.
The film is IMAX2D, it seems that there is no 3D version, at least Wanda is like this, and there is no legendary Chinese plot in the film, and there is no Foxconn sweatshop or anything.
I have to say, although I really like this film, it really doesn't have a good look. There is a gap in the innate abilities of the heroes, and they haven't been upgraded much the day after tomorrow, and there are no hot scenes. In the absence of a strong opponent, they were almost killed. It took up too much space in order to play with the connotation, but it didn't have any effect. Those who came to see the popcorn didn't enjoy it, and those who came to look for depth didn't have any depth, and the box office sustainability was not very optimistic.
