What exactly is a human being?
Tima is a robot but wants to be human and can't accept the fact that he is not human.
The Big Boss is the most powerful man among humans, but is eager to put humanity under the rule of the inhuman "Superman".
The adopted son, Rock, hates robots, but he has no mercy on his fellow human beings.
For robots, the most difficult thing for humans to understand is probably emotions.
Whether it's the harm to their fellow citizens or the vain desire to rule the world, these are beyond the comprehension of robots.
Humans make robots and endow them with intelligence close to humans, but they disdain to admit that robots have human characteristics. Not only did they exclude robots from their own species, but they also adopted an attitude of contempt and even slavery. tima has witnessed the persecution of humans against robots and the kindness of robots to humans, and cannot accept the fact that he is also a poor robot.
Kenichi represents the only remaining precious heart of a very idealistic human being. He's probably the only person in the whole film who actually sees Tima as a human being. At the critical point of losing control, he still naively and persistently hoped Tima "don't go". And finally rescued Tima from the destruction system.
Tima likes to look up at the sky, and humans always look up at the stars, thinking about who they are
If there is a god who created man and exiled man from the Garden of Eden, and then man-made a robot and enslaved him, then man yearns for a god who has no desires and desires, and a robot yearns for a person with emotions and desires. Is it unattainable? pain? Is it another sin to create the Tower of Babel and "Superman"?
Who are we? Who is the robot? And who are they?
