Two hundred years of searching.

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, but never finished it.
The youngest daughter in the family fell in love with their robot Andrew, and was very impressed with them playing with four hands.
Looking at it now, it makes a lot of sense to think about humans from the perspective of robots.
Although I feel that some parts are a bit procrastinated, I am very moved about the 3 topics.

Freedom

Andrew asked the second lady for freedom, although they have not given orders to Andrew for a long time, but Andrew said;
one has study ur history
terrible war has been fought when millions have died for one idea——freedom.it seems that something that means so much to so many people, it will be worth to have it.

(Dictation, there may be mistakes.)

With that vast BGM, Andrew left and built his own home on a small island.
This made me re-examine human history. In history class, we have to recite so many uprisings. There are many in the Celestial Dynasty alone, all for freedom. Exactly what freedom is, I can't say, but since countless people have sacrificed their lives to get it, it is worth having.

Sex

When Andrew relays how people describe sex, he says;

That you can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries, all time. That two bodies can become so mixed-up...that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you'll die...you kind of do, leaving you alone in your separate body. But the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to Heaven and come back alive. Go back , anytime you want with the one you love.


"You feel that heaven is back again, and what's even more wonderful is that your lover is by your side, and you can go back anytime you want."

A girl said; for the first time, it gave me the ultimate imagination of sexual beauty, or in other words, it depicted a picture of an orgasm. That picture was deeply engraved in my mind, ignoring fear and curiosity, and giving me yearning for lovers and spiritual desires. It also made me lose my taste for pornography and pornographic novels. Compared with those superficial and superficial sensory embroidery, Andrew's simple dialogues have a literary penetrating power straight to the heart.

human nature

When the second miss's great-granddaughter fell in love with Andrew but wanted to marry another man, Andrew's innate polite procedure made him give blessings, but she said: take chance make mistake sometime it's important to not be perfect it's important to do the

wrong thing it's not about human ration. it's human communication it's about

following

heart It was a mess.

Seeing this, I will smile.



There's something I disapprove of this film too, I disapprove that Andrew finally qualified as a human being.
It's not discrimination, I think it's a denial of Andrew's essence, he is still a rebort.
At first, what he used to refute the chairman's words was very reasonable: human beings are also using artificial organs, from a certain part, human beings Also a robot.

But the fundamental difference is that people come from cells, sperm and eggs become embryos...
(The specific biological process will not be mentioned = =)
If robots can also become human, then the world will be disrupted.
It is for the same reason that people are so cautious about human clones.
So in the beginning, the choice of the second lady was absolutely correct, and the old people's "right match" also made some sense.

Anyway, a movie is a movie after all, and it is precisely because it is a movie that we have the opportunity to experience a different sensory world. In the end, although Andrew didn't hear the verdict that he was the longest living human being in history, he got him everything you want to have.

Home, love, and freedom.

Bicentennial Man quotes

  • Andrew Martin: May one, sir? Is now a good time?

    '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]
