This film discusses love, freedom, loneliness, life and death and other almost eternal themes that have been discussed by human beings for a long time. It is also the process of a robot asking for power from humans, but this process takes three generations and two hundred years.

First of all, I have to admit that Andrew did have curiosity, creativity and a considerable imitation ability from the very beginning. He watched spiders, listened to music, and made wood carvings, all of which were conscious behaviors, and then they were the foils of people’s external environment. During this long process, what I saw was not the perfection of Andrew's body step by step, but the contradictions of human nature he faced and the solutions.

The first generation is the ignorant time when Andrew loves to grow up. The host taught Andrew Good night, sense of humor, and the second lady gave Andrew toys (items owned items), and played the piano with him; especially the host's irrational conversation with Andrew, in the male After the marriage of his daughter, the owner sighed that "things are impermanent". Andrew just understood this sentence rationally, but he couldn't feel it. However, when Andrew heard Bo Xia say, "But I can't show affection to the robot", he was really real. I feel this sentence, only the words of love are the most murderous, this is not false at all.

The interlude in the middle is that Andrew hopes to use money to buy freedom, and he said with deep understanding that humans can go to war for this thing, which reflects the robot's hazy sense of resistance. The host asked the second daughter, "You made him have this consciousness. of"? "You made him think like this. You gave him hundreds of books. Sooner or later, he will experience the taste of freedom." The second daughter replied. When the male master allowed Andrew to be free, he also let him fulfill his obligation to leave his family, explaining the price of freedom (invisibly penetrated into the consciousness of the United States)

The second generation is the process of Andrew's loneliness. The departure of the male host made Andrew embark on a journey to find the same kind. In ruins, glaciers, cities, farms, and deserts, Andrew realized that he was a unique existence. Like each of us looking for our own way all the way; then when the second lady left, it accelerated Andrew's consciousness of reflecting on human rights: "You can cry, but I can't, this is too cruel".

The third generation is the thinking of Andrew's death. Not only is the secular people allow a robot to live for a long time, but they cannot accept the problem of a person's immortality. The most important thing is that the infinity of time violates the law of the endless existence of all things in the universe, just like Andrew asked Bo Xia to live with him for a long time, but Bo Xia insisted that people have a limit, and this is Andrew's last sublimation, that is, his destiny is to gradually die, walk out of time, and complete his longevity. , but the destiny of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Andrew slowly lost his reason, made mistakes, cried, thought, and walked towards people. Although the film has a subconscious with people as the highest point, it cannot be denied that this film was thinking about the future in 1999.

    'Ma'am' Martin: What? A good time for what?

    Andrew Martin: Last night, Sir taught...

    Sir: No, no, no, don't blame me Andrew. Just... go ahead.

    Andrew Martin: Thank you sir

    Andrew Martin: [Very fast] Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?" How do you make a hanky dance? Put a little boogie in it! What is a brunette between two blondes? A translator! Do you know why blind people don't like to sky-dive? It scares their dogs! A man with demensia is driving on the freeway. His wife calls him on the mobile phone and says "Sweetheart, I heard there's someone driving the wrong way on the freeway." He says "One? There's hundreds!" What's silent and smells like worms? Bird farts. It must have been an engineer who designed the human body. Who else would put a waste processing plant next to a recreation area? A woman goes into a doctor's office, and the doctor says "Do you mind if I numb your breasts?" "Not at all." *makes 'motor-boating' noise. "Num-num-num-num."

    Andrew Martin: [Family chuckles] One did it sir!

    Sir: Andrew, it was fine, but we might want to talk about appropriatness and um, and timing.

    Andrew Martin: It's ten-fifteen sir.

    [Family laughs hysterically]
