Apart from abuse, what else does the film say?

The smoke of AlphaGo's victory over Li Shishi has not yet dissipated, and there is news that Google is selling Boston Dynamics (a company that makes a little scary robot dog and robot that can maintain balance after being kicked and kicked). Artificial intelligence has become a hot topic that will never fade, and it is no exception in the literary and art circles. And the attitude that accounts for the majority of public opinion is still the fear of the future of artificial intelligence. The film "Ex Machina" is a representative of such views (movie review link ). There is also another point of view, which is from the standpoint of ethics and human self-examination. One of the famous works is Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence".

Based on a short story, the film is simply the story of a sentient robot boy longing for his mother's love. This film is the last wish of the master Kubrick. After Spielberg took over, he made the film more popular and full of emotion (you can also say cliché and sensational, but it is indeed quite mature), and it is easier to be ordinary audience's favor. In fact, there are two core themes: How can we give back to the selfless love of robots for us? In the face of our short lives, how does a robot that loves us face eternity?

It's all about love, and while the main character is a child, casting and acting are the biggest challenges of this film. But Haley Joel Osment has etched this emotional robot child named David into the hearts and minds of every audience member with a staggering level of excellence far beyond that of a child actor.

"Mom, I don't hurt at all."
"Mom, I will be good, don't leave me."
"Mom, I love you."

Clever curiosity, fiery longing, painful pleading, fatal despair, helpless Prayers, thousands of years of persistence, stubborn efforts, affectionate gazes, tears of joy. Just looking at these screenshots will make your eyes warm. These eyes can really talk, and this young body is loaded with an extremely affectionate soul.



This is not only very abusive, but also shows the unsolvable emotional dislocation between robots and humans. He quietly appeared in front of you to startle you, he suddenly laughed out loud to make you uneasy, he disturbed you to go to the toilet and made you embarrassed, he messed up himself by eating, he even had a stress response disorder Unintentionally hurt your loved ones. On the other hand, his love for you is so complete, so intense, so unreserved, that sometimes it is even overwhelming for you. What's worse is that he also yearns for your love, which is hard to give back. In the film, the robot played by Jude Law can also love people and is very honest and lovely, but he is not eager for the feedback of love, and the degree of abuse cannot be compared with that of David. In short, they are so like us, but their character is unsound compared to people. But also compared with people, they are so upright, optimistic, and selfless. This sense of distortion is like the scene of the babysitter robot heading towards its demise humming a lullaby to David under the pale false moonlight. Spielberg is really good at this one.



Another big problem is time, and the self-existence problem by extension. Is 50 years old? Basically a lifetime for Mom, but not long enough for David. Assuming that robots are nearly immortal, we create them as finite beings, and eventually we must abandon them in this world, and we are destined to be unable to assume the responsibility of this "creator". If we build a machine and throw it into the world, we won't feel guilty, but we can't bear to abandon David. The difference is that David had a soul, just like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden ate the forbidden fruit. The fate of this "non-me race" with an independent soul is to be expelled like Adam and Eve. In addition to the David-like longing for love, independent souls in a state of expulsion also have a more general need for self-existence. That's what Jude Law's droid Joe says at the end, "I am, I was." and "I'm the only one" from a furious David. However, this film has only scratched the surface, and if it is Kubrick, he should be more interested in this direction.



Aside from being a little sloppy in some aspects, another major flaw in the film is the alien part at the end. Personally, I think this paragraph can be cut off completely, and David can end the film with repeated prayers in the dark deep sea. If you have to express the prayers of 2000 years and the final fulfillment, the pictures can be used to express clearly, and the duration can be cut in half. Alien lines and more redundant narration will only interrupt this emotion, which is superfluous.

Finally, add a cute loli for selfishness. The initial beauty of human beings is almost all concentrated on them.
