But this film is not bad, at least I still remember how I felt when I watched this film.
Who is the leading role?
It's Dr. Norton.
He is an intellectual, an idealist. Man lies in his heart, which is also his brain. This is what he said to a guitarist musician playing the guitar with his mechanical hands. Therefore, the following video content is the experimental content of this concept. Therefore, the doctor did not completely reform Murphy's brain. He hoped to retain Murphy's self-awareness and let him complete the idea in the doctor's heart. Is it an experiment, a risk? No, the machine is controllable. At this time, Murphy is no longer a complete person. He is the "man in the machine" and is controllable.
The effect was good. After Murphy woke up thinking that he was just wearing a mechanical armor, i can feel, this sentence is enough, so he went crazy, ran and ran, but was forced to shut down.
Norton is a mentor, an intellectual, and a philosopher. He is persuading Murphy that he used extreme behavior to dismember Murphy's mechanical body in front of Murphy, a way of putting it to death and resurrecting, telling Murphy, Who he is, he is not just a body, he also has his brain, and this is also Dr. Norton's final intention. Dr. Norton told Murphy, and Murphy was persuaded.
Murphy was convinced that he was not a special person, he was just an ordinary person, and under the language of intellectuals or wise men, he could only surrender.
Another experiment was mission execution. Murphy failed, but Dr. Norton was not too excited because it was within his estimate. This point again points out the director's intentions, emotions, and human characteristics, which are different from animal characteristics. But emotions sometimes go wrong. Although the whole incident is not simple, Norton modified the information processing part of Murphy’s brain. When performing the task, if Murphy has no objection, then the execution is calculated by the computer at this time. Program, at this time, is Murphy still a person with free will?
What is rationality? When performing tasks, calculate the best plan, the best execution ability, and be decisive and direct. Isn't it the best? And this optimal thing can the human brain calculate a better plan than the computer?
But the final decision is Murphy, and Dr. Norton has not deprived Murphy of his right to free choice and ultimate dignity as a person.
Another problem is also about rationality.
Murphy had a problem downloading all the criminal records. After waking up, Murphy suddenly became indifferent, and various physiological indicators returned to a stable state. Most people think that Murphy's brain has a problem. In fact, otherwise, this is exactly what Murphy's brain has no problem with. At this time, Murphy's mind was suppressed by reason. He has been too late to say, yes, time is limited, to control criminals, not to be emotional, and to act rationally, without delay.
So after starting work, Murphy only talked about work, not about feelings. Dr. Norton did not expect this, so he was also observing.
However, Murphy's feelings were awakened by his wife. This point should be worth noting at the time. People's thinking is affected by the environment. He is rationally controlled when he works, and when his wife appears, emotions have the upper hand. So he wanted revenge for his son and his family. Here, there is a bright spot, which I admire the director very much. There were no twists and turns, smooth and convenient, no big ups and downs, and soon, using the Internet and using his mechanical armor, Murphy quickly found the murderer and carried out revenge. Norton actually appreciates Murphy at this time, because Murphy embodies the rights and dignity of a free-willed person.
But things have changed, so it was not simple at the beginning. Murphy killed the police, and the company boss was driven by the economy to kill Murphy. At this time, a joke appeared. Was Murphy a machine or a human? The answer is that Murphy is a human being, and it is illegal to kill. Murphy enforced the law.
The difference between this and the old version lies in the emphasis on human free will. The old version uses a trick to resolve contradictions, reconciles procedures and human sentiments, but actually maintains procedures and lowers the dignity and status of people. Filipino fired his own shot. It was a free-will choice that made public his personality and dignity. Although procedures were necessary, after the struggle, it was human nature that had the upper hand.
Dr. Norton did not compromise. On the surface, he agreed to the boss's request, and then immediately rescued Murphy. He is still an intellectual, not a mere technician. How about the old version, I don't remember.
Even under the setting of observation, Murphy's identity is experimental. This film is similar to a documentary style, and the extremely true narration is more obvious. Captain Samuel’s words are provocative, but they are not the director’s true opinion. He just thinks the media will say so.
So, my opinion is that this movie is like a fictitious experiment. What is a human being? Do you think that even if you insist on self-persistence, there is a self-brain on the body of the mechanical armor, you are a human being? Media, economy, politics, how do you think about others, how others think about you, people have always been a complex existence, not just their own body, freedom is not only dominating one's own body, in complex social relations, how can people and freedom accomplish?
ps: Murphy's mission is like a guinea pig being observed, calm, ordinary, restrained, and careful. I admire the director very much at this point.
