Film review: The allure of industrial heavy metal
Rozella 2022-03-18 09:01:03
≪Robocop≫, compared with the old version, the new version reflects the influence of modern technology on machinery, and further explores the despicable side of human nature. And the two versions of the police equipment are different, as far as the new version is concerned, it can more visually reflect the cool and industrial heavy metal charm. Although 3D is a domestic transformation, the effect is still qualified in my opinion. Dub, the quality of the director has improved since switching to base! All in all, it's worth a look.

Alex Murphy: Holy Christ, there's nothing left.
Dr. Dennett Norton: Your body may have gone, but you're still here.
Alex Murphy: That's not even my brain.
Dr. Dennett Norton: We had to repair the damaged areas, but we didn't interfere with your emotion or your intellect. Do you... do you understand me, Alex? You're... you're in control.
Alex Murphy: I'm in control?
Dr. Dennett Norton: Yes.
Alex Murphy: Okay. If I'm in control, then I wanna die. Just unplug whatever it is keepin' me alive and end this nightmare.
Dr. Dennett Norton: Now, say I did that - w-which is, as a doctor, would almost be impossible for me, but... but say I did. Wh... w-what do I say to your wife? What does she say to your son?
Alex Murphy: That it didn't work. That you tried. Somethin' went wrong. You did everything you could, but I died.
Dr. Dennett Norton: So after all they've been through, all the pain, all their hope restored, we would just rip that away? Your wife loves you, Alex. She signed the consent forms herself; otherwise, you couldn't have undergone the procedure. She loves you and she gave you a second chance. I need you to take it.
Alex Murphy: I don't wanna see myself like this again. Ever. And the same goes for my family. Just put me back in.

Liz Kline: Dr. Norton, how... how is he doing this?
Dr. Dennett Norton: His software is faster. His hardware is stronger. He's a better machine.
Liz Kline: But you said humans hesitate.
Dr. Dennett Norton: Only when they're making decisions.
Liz Kline: He's not making decisions?
Dr. Dennett Norton: Well, yes and no. In his everyday life, man rules over the machine; Alex makes his own decisions. Now, when he engages in battle, the visor comes down and the software takes over, then the... the machine does everything. Alex is a... he's a passenger, just along for the ride.
Liz Kline: But if the machine is in control, then how is Murphy accountable? Who's pulling the trigger?
Dr. Dennett Norton: When the machine fights, the system releases signals into Alex's brain making him think he's doing what our computers are actually doing. I mean, Alex believes right now he is in control, but he's not. It... it's the illusion of free will.
