Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and the age of robots is coming.
The whole film takes place in an extremely depressing atmosphere.
The clear blue sea in memory and the desert with no grass in reality are a clue.
Clear water and blue sky, this is the human yearning for a better life. The real world in the film is 2044, 24 years from now, the blue sky is no longer visible, the rain, sunlight, and air are full of substances harmful to human body and various radiations, the city is desertified, there is no grass outside the city, and the population is drastically reduced. Robots were developed with the mission of protecting human beings. They are driven by human beings. They are nanny, workers, and slaves. However, once people rely too much on this protection, they will lose the last barrier. Dependence, the faster the death. The images that emerge from time to time contain the nostalgia for the good life in the past, the contrast with the current severely polluted living environment, and the yearning for a new oasis in the future.
Death and new life are a clue.
From the death of the puppy, to the death of the robot taking care of the puppy; from the human shooting the robot, to the robot learning to repair itself; from the robot being destroyed, to the robot killing the human. The film is full of interesting philosophies. From ape to man, opened an era of human life on earth. When human beings cannot survive on earth, robots will replace human beings, continue part of human civilization, and open the next era. For the earth, no one can become a ruler, but a passer-by from generation to generation.
At the end of the film, the new life of human beings and the new life of robots, without interfering with each other, go to find their own living space. What human beings hope for is an oasis, as well as sunshine, clean water, and fresh air to enjoy. Robots start their lives in the nuclear radiation zone destroyed and abandoned by humans.
Evolution and regression, is a clue.
The more technologically advanced, the more degenerate human beings will be in some respects. With the evolution of artificial intelligence and people's excessive reliance on robots, the blue is better than the blue. The pace of human progress cannot keep up with the evolution of robots, and even robots have unique human emotions, thinking, and emotions. Robots are no longer a combination of codes, chips and components, but a creature that is more suitable for the current environment than humans. It is natural selection, survival of the fittest. At the end of the film, the robot's hand touches the baby's hand, and the baby stops crying and falls asleep peacefully. This is a dialogue between two different civilizations, a silent dialogue, but there is an emotional exchange, and in peace, they find their own peace.
In reality, the year 2044 is not far away, and everything looks less terrifying than in the film, making people desperate. But in recent years, from "Age of the Machine" to "The Wandering Earth", from "The Day After Tomorrow" to "Global Storm", there are also many science fiction films and disaster films, all of which have been destroyed by the earth's environment, and human beings have been attacked. new home. The pictures in the movie are full of visual impact, but they are actually just a collection of several real-world problems. For example, air quality, viruses, desertification, polluted water, and garbage that has nowhere to go to landfill; for example, the Internet has brought people closer and farther away, more and more dependent on various platforms and software, and accustomed to the push of big data and services, lost the ability to think and distinguish; every bit of people's lives are gradually being digitized.
After all, every exploration and progress is for the pursuit of a better life. Looking forward to the near future, artificial intelligence can assist human beings, making the air better, the water quality better, the greening more green, and the pollution less. After all, what you feel when you breathe and breathe is the foundation of survival and the way of evolution.
