The theme and setting are very good, but unfortunately the completion of the plot is not good enough, and the details and logic are not well handled. It is a pity that this has the opportunity to become a masterpiece.

Plot description:
In the near future, it will no longer be the police who sweep the streets and maintain social order, but the unselfish robots, but the criminal group will not sit still, they stole a robot, it Given a new name - Chappi, and a new life, he became the first conscious, sentient, and self-thinking robot. However, some people believe that Chappie's existence will disrupt the order and endanger the survival of all human beings. Do not hesitate to use a powerful force of destruction to destroy Chapi...
About the movie:
Hugh Jackman plays a self-righteous weapon designer who believes that artificial intelligence will destroy human beings. He changed his usual heroic and righteous image and became a villain on the big screen for the first time, wearing shorts and white socks. It is far from the handsomeness of the previous characters. He said: "The shorts are the director's idea. We also watched all kinds of shorts on the Internet together. It's very funny." When he was used to it, Hugh Jackman laughed and said that he was not worried about the reaction of the child at all, because at home he was a bad guy with a black face every day. It's super refreshing for the villain to bombard people with big guns. It's too hard to be a hero to save a bunch of people.
It really is... Everyone thinks this film is wrong, it is not a high-level entertainment, or a dynamic action film, it is just a pseudo-robot that looks like a human child, parental education The development plan movie, at least in the first two-thirds of the plot, is generally played like this. Xiao Chapi strayed into this adult world of the weak and the strong, and was taught a lesson by bad people and good people, but in fact, there are no real good people. Bad people, everyone has their own selfish intentions, because these selfish intentions do things that others think are right or wrong. This is indeed something we will realize more and more deeply as we grow up. Human nature is cruel, but the human heart is not. It is also warm, but bad things always overwhelm the feelings brought by those good things, and then affect each of us' personality, concepts and behaviors.
From birth, everyone is constantly learning and imitating, learning how to live, imitating the words and behaviors of others, and gradually we develop a set of our own behavior patterns, begin to think independently, have our own character and personality, this form Whether the formation is good or bad depends on the people and things you come into contact with at this stage. For example, some people are always well protected by their parents, they help you do everything, and they block any wind and rain outside, pamper and care However, once you step out one day, you may encounter a terrible failure and never get up again, even though those blows may be just a small setback in the eyes of outsiders, even though your parents may not let you step on this step. Go out; Chappie's mommy is this kind of personality, doting on her, always treating her like a child, but Chappie's daddy is too bad, but it makes everyone think that Mommy is good.
Chappie's gangster-like words and deeds have a profound effect on Chappie. It's better to say that he is actually the same person as Vincent played by Hugh Jackman, but one can clearly feel him from his external behavior. Bad, the other is to hide evil intentions and hide their dark desires deeply. They are all people who can do anything to achieve their goals. Are they completely bad? They work hard for their own robots and can give up everything. In fact, they represent the majority of people, and they also represent the danger and cruelty of the adult world. Daddy Chapi said it right. In this world, if you want to live, don't make If you kill someone else, you are the one who will be killed. It's a bit extreme, but it's the truth.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, people always learn to grow and gain insight through stumbles. The first two-thirds of the film is really a very ordinary children's growth film. It is shot a little in the east and a little in the west, and the connection is a little different. Shun, the actors played themselves one by one, without too many sparks, and even the rhythm of the movie was boring and dull. When the super-expansion went directly to the end, many viewers must have been frightened. Although the super-expansion was a bit inconsistent, it was not. It's the first time a director has done this kind of thing, but it's usually pretty shitty, and this super-expansion will leave you speechless after the movie, because you know it's very likely to happen in the future. It will appear, but I don't know how long it will take. Maybe it will appear in more than ten years, and you may encounter it. Well, I personally prefer the concept of super-expansion.
Some image descriptions and roles of robots in the adult world have actually appeared in other film and television works before, such as the mechanical enemy, or the album Almost Human, especially Almost Human. To be honest, I don’t even think the adult world is as refined as Almost Human. In the 2-hour film, there is not much ups and downs, and it is definitely not the kind of commercial cool film you imagine. The thing that makes me feel the rhythm of watching the film is interrupted is that Yolandi and Ninja are directly performing the film under their real names. There are a lot of OSTs from the Reply Band they belong to in the film. The style is really inappropriate. I can only say... Director, if you want to make the best use of everything, you must also consider the integrity.

In the scene of the hail of bullets and the robbers' disgraced melee, "Adult World" was set at the beginning of the movie. Unlike the general description of robot movies, which has to be a bright and bright urban environment background, or robots have to be metallic and streamlined art design, this film is created by otaku engineers, weapon manufacturers, and a group of black police characters. The constructed "real world".
The story is set in the future of 2016 (very close to us), the South African police have used a group of "robot police" to greatly improve the city's security, and plan to order more robots to expand the police force, but there are bad guys against robots. With crooked brains, a robot police officer (No.22, Chappie) that was supposed to be "scrapped" by accident embarked on a fantasy journey, and the fate has been greatly different
from then on . Directed by director Neil Bronkamp, the director has always been fascinated by the dialogue between "the crystallization of advanced technology" and "the broken sequelae of the development of human civilization", whether it is "The Ninth Forbidden Area" or "Elysium", the impression of slum dwelling and the The relationship between the protagonists is always profound, and what they yearn for and need to face is always the resources and beauty on the other side, even in "Adult World".
Neal Bronkamp loves to visually subvert the usual metallic luster of sci-fi films, covering it with a WTO-inclusive earth color, which narrows the distance between human beings and technology, and even makes the audience forget "this It’s a science fiction movie”, so naturally, you can further watch the movie as a general action movie or a drama movie, and of course you will naturally be able to treat aliens, cyborgs, robots, etc. as human beings. .
In the film, the wounded, abandoned robot No. 22 who has done everything for human beings is the protagonist of "Adult World". Because of being implanted with emotional and consciousness programs, Robot No. 22 turned into a "Baby Robot Chappie" as if it was reborn (this concept is very similar to the "reincarnation" spirit mentioned by its mother in the story told to it later), and The audience followed the protagonists to watch Chappie learn to speak and various actions through learning, and even have a personality and attitude... When the brain of a powerful fighting robot is replaced with a learning program, we can see the robot is like a puppy or a child Will the ordinary "growing up" process also love and pity it? Just as we love little babies and puppies and kittens.
"Adult World" also brings up a meaningful topic, that is, whether it is a robot, a puppy, a kitten or a child, their native family environment will directly affect what kind of robot/dog/cat/human they grow up to become. Unfortunately, Chappie recognizes a thief as his father, and naturally becomes a robot that can't distinguish between good and evil, and is difficult to control. This robot is not shackled by the so-called "can't harm human beings" law. It can shoot you with darts or knives to "put you to sleep" (XD), but when you think this guy is about to get out of control, what is in his mind A "cognition" that is based on the human thinking model, but can generate compassion for the injured, and exert an unimaginable kindness between "saving oneself" and "saving others". An evolution that surpasses its own creator and parents, and is better than the blue! ! !
At this point you really have to say that robots are likely to be man's best friend. (No wonder there will be a robot dog.)
Science fiction only packs
male audience friends. Maybe "Adult World" is a sci-fi film, but for girls, "Adult World" is a thrilling family film at all. The film even talked about the importance of environmental education and parental teaching in the growth of children (certified by the educational film seal), and further re-examined the question of "When robots have human nature, who is more noble than humans?" It's not easy to make a movie with lots of issues and interesting movies. Unexpectedly, Que Que was so cute, moved, and shocked by the movie, especially when the pure and kind robot Chappie was bullied by the little gangsters and little brats, I deeply realized that human beings are the root of all evil. distressed.
Fortunately, the potential of artificial intelligence is unlimited, and little Chappie finally came up with a set of consciousness transfer system that even the creator could not think of, so that the spirit can be separated from the limited machine/body and gain eternal life. Who died?!), can't help but think of the concept of "electronic brain" in "Ghost in the Shell", Shirou Masamune is really omnipresent XD~ But in a word, under the state that the ending is still not out of control, the theme of "Adult World" is interesting And the faces are diverse. Under the play of Chappie's funny personality, the whole movie is humorous and good-looking. Although the movie invited Hugh Jackman to play the villain to increase the weight of the movie, I don't think Chappie, the protagonist of the robot, was robbed. (The voice actors are very strong, the robot CG is also very flexible, GOOD~), the whole film looks dirty and old robots, which makes "Adult World" very human, this movie is entertaining and entertaining , it is very suitable for parents to take children to watch (it is a film that can take the opportunity to educate). I was a guest at a neighbor's house before and heard the neighbor's mother was distressed and didn't know what movie to take her school-aged child to watch? I was thinking that if I met them recently, I would definitely recommend Adult World.
"Adult World" can actually evoke all the happiness perceptions of Que Que with infants and young children (not an exaggeration). The evil girl in the movie also becomes a loving mother in an instant when she encounters this innocent robot (really not bad), although this robot It's not cute at all, it has enough hip pop taste, and learns bad things and does a lot of stupid things... but you just can't help but love it, because it is a product of human family and love.
