old version teddy bear

A rogue old man with memory impairment, his life was a mess after retirement, and he was very lonely without the company of his children. He had nothing to do all day, and did not want to go to a nursing home. Every time the son sees his father, it takes a long time to drive, which is too troublesome, so he bought a babysitter robot for his father. Of course, the old man rejected this metal lump at first, but it was time to eat and drink according to what the robot said. After a period of running-in, the old man found that his life was no longer a mass, and gradually he also wanted to do some crazy burglary activities that he did when he was young... (Some details are not written) Later, he was stared by the police. On, the old man had no choice but to eliminate the evidence of the crime. Except for the memories of the robot children, all the evidence has been burned... Of course, the police also discovered this and wanted to download Robot's memory data. In the end, he had to choose to press the clear memory button on the robot, although he knew that pressing this button also meant that he would forget this crazy memory.

This is a sci-fi film with almost no computer stunts, but it allows people to see a more real future, without particularly exaggerated high-tech sci-fi equipment, as if making young people feel that they are likely to be like this when they are old; and It is a feature film that is almost not deliberately sensational, but it makes people feel more real moving. Every time the old man says to his son who has been working for a long time, "How is Princeton University?", I will feel a burst of sadness.

There are many ways to understand what the director wants to express. It can be said to express expectations for robotics, because at the end of the film, many advances in robotics are presented. Or it can be said to express the irony of the phenomenon of empty-nest elderly. One of the children is busy making money and the other is busy traveling. The elderly hope to find someone who can talk. Of course, it is possible to express the hope that the society can give the elderly more understanding, because everyone will grow old, and everyone may forget their past bit by bit...

Well, it's very late, I will continue Writing a diary...
