AI seems to be a hot topic, and there are suddenly many more movies about AI: since 2014, we have seen Chappie, Ex Machina, this Autómata, and Prototype, which is expected to be released this year, and there should be more sci-fi movies related to AI that I haven't seen yet.

Humans create robots so that robots can help humans in all aspects, but humans are afraid that robots will evolve faster than humans and eventually lead to the demise of human beings. The film Autómata tells such a story. Two hard rules are set to limit the evolution of robots. The first is that robots are not allowed to harm humans, and the second is that robots are not allowed to transform all robots, including themselves. But just like the evolution from apes to humans, the evolution of robots happened like a miracle, and humans felt that this was the most terrifying threat. To exterminate conscious robots, anyone who helped these robots would be killed. considered a betrayal of humanity.

If you want to discuss the filming and production of the movie, this Autómata is a low-budget production. It relies entirely on the storyline to support the entire movie, and the storyline is actually not particularly amazing, so the whole movie will be a bit confusing. It may not be a good sci-fi film, but it is definitely a good feature film. Human life is very precious, and the existence of other races only serves to further the survival of human beings.

In the movie, the face of the robot is painted at random; the robot is beaten and scolded at will; two hard rules are set to control the robot; killing a robot is as disdainful as stepping on an ant... It's very uncomfortable to watch. Robots that won’t harm humans are considered the most terrifying threat, while humans themselves harm each other recklessly. Avery asked the male protagonist if he never knew that people could hurt people. A very deep question... Is the existence that threatens human existence a robot with consciousness? Or human beings themselves?

"Surviving is not relevant. Living is. We want to live. " The reason why the male protagonist helps those robots is not only because they saved his life, but also their wishes. They just want their own life, just like what the male protagonist yearns for: blue sky, white clouds, dazzling sunshine, coldness The sea water did not reach his ankles...
