Seriously unsteady, I was once again pulled into the abyss by the plot, and it was raining outside again, God was clearly matching my emotions. The 1999 film Bicentennial Man is very similar to Spielberg's artificial intelligence in 2001, but this film is far more delicate than artificial intelligence (AI), and analyzes the issue of "what is human" more deeply. more touched my heart. I can't say that this one is better than AI, I can only say that I like this one better. AI I cried for more than 10 minutes, this one I cried for almost an hour, not counting now...
Maybe it's the self-centered consciousness of human beings. The question of "willingness to be a human being" has been tacitly accepted when human beings are thinking - it is good to be human. Being human is gifted: the gift of perception, the gift of expression, and most importantly, the gift of being understood. As human beings, we all desire to be understood, so when we see a kind robot that is not understood but already has human emotions, we will have sympathy, and we will finally cry.
Just as the movie was playing, when the storyline slowly emerged as the theme, I was also asking, "What is it like to be a person?" - Are there joys and sorrows? Or do you have to give birth? Or is it emotional and rational at the same time? Or all of them. These answers have been rejected one by one. Kittens and puppies have joys and sorrows, and they are also viviparous. It is possible to create robots that are both rational and emotional, but they still feel a little less human.
What is human touch?
I find it scary to be a person who always shows up on time, says the right thing, does the right thing, has a calm expression, always looks like he's in control, is smart and can never make mistakes, doesn't look like a human, like a machine . On the contrary, I would feel more human in the face of less "perfect" people. Perhaps "making mistakes" is a manifestation of human touch.
If you want to be recognized as a human being, you must have the characteristics of life? What are the characteristics of life? Turning around in my head - death. Death is the end of life and the proof of life. No death, no life. A person is going to die, and only death can make time precious (time is a fart to eternity, it doesn't matter if you put it away or not); only death can show how precious life is. The people of Bicentennial Man have finally found a way to be recognized as human. I cried so hard, the movie was over. Key point: Celine Dion's singing at the end of the film is so addicting that it makes you cry to death.
