On the surface, it looks like a sci-fi film, but it is actually an ethical film.
The film starts from the moment of the demise of human beings, and does not mention why human beings perished, so don't habitually blame robots with the thinking of "Terminator". Maybe it's robots, maybe it's humans killing each other, my understanding of the author's meaning is more like the latter.
Unlike the robots that kill humans in other sci-fi films, the ultimate goal of the robot mother in the film is to preserve and continue human beings. It is hoped that the daughters cultivated through embryos will, through education and guidance, get rid of the selfish nature of human beings, and have the courage to sacrifice individuals for the benefit of the human community, so as to lead a new generation of human beings to get rid of the evil habits of the previous life and avoid going down the road of extinction again. The robot mother finally succeeded, but is the new human really better than the previous one? Will it start to kill each other again after a few years, towards destruction?
The topic of human destruction, and then regeneration, is not new. In Genesis, God was very angry with the evil of mankind on earth, and let the great flood destroy the world, and at the same time let the righteous Noah's family and various species use the ark to survive. society.
After watching the movie, I was thinking, maybe the society we live in is just the product of the Nth experiment. I don't know when the next experiment will start? Will the great flood come again?
In addition, the translation of the Chinese movie title is a bit too much. The literal translation is "I am a mother", which is more accurate, close to life and in line with the plot. In reality, no one would say "I am a mother" in a dialogue. This is a science fiction film, not a time-travel drama.
