Lonely old Frank was a thief when he was young. When he got old, his memory faded and he forgot a lot of things, but he still didn't forget the core technology. Son Hunter, overwhelmed by the stress of traveling long distances to see him every week, sent a robot to accompany and help him. Naturally, whoever gets old wants a lifeless robot. Frank of course refuses, and the plot begins here.
Frank had to accept a robot's daily talk, but the robot's heartfelt look still couldn't make him resist. That being the case, Frank taught him how to pick the lock. Frank's few words are rich in philosophy, "Every lock in the world is a little puzzle, no lock is perfect. Any lock can be picked, all you need is time." These words It is not only unlocking the secret book, but also a summary of life in the twilight of life.
The robot gets on the boat with Frank, which is another interesting aspect of the robot. Going deep into the library to steal "Don Quixote", the protagonist of this book is also a bit like this stubborn old man, but Frank steals the book only for his beloved woman, Fanny Jane. She is the administrator of the library, but she is helpless in the face of the old and new library. For her pleasure, Frank opened the safe and took out the book. Even though the book didn't go out in the end, the vote also allowed Frank to identify his next target, Jack.
This vote was quite twists and turns. My daughter came back to take care of him, and turned off the robot by the way. It was then that Frank realized that the robot was very important to him and an important partner in his ticketing. Frank's attitude towards the robot also appears here. His daughter runs the robot at night and turns it off during the day. Frank shouts, "You can't use it as a slave." When the robot came back logically, the two of them voted again in the evening. Perfect fit.
Later, things almost came to light, the robot always wanted Frank to erase its memoirs, and Frank couldn't bear it. But there is no way. After all, the robot has no emotion and wisdom. It clearly remembers all the details, and it is easy for people to search for clues after stopping it. Frank had no choice but to reluctantly resolve it and say goodbye.
Interestingly, Funi Jane turned out to be his wife, but he forgot her and loved her. Later, Frank returned to the warmth of the family, and the final screen switched to his gaze with the robot, which was very meaningful.
This film has fantasies and thoughts about the future world. The era of intelligent robots is actually not far from us. However, how to deal with the relationship between robots and how to be vigilant against the wisdom of robots to ban human beings are all questions worth thinking about. The movie provides a latitude for thinking. The robot has a core concept, but it lacks emotion and steals for Frank. It says, "I have a legal definition, but I don't understand it." These are very intriguing, what exactly is technology? In order to facilitate mankind, it may still bring a crisis to mankind. It seems that these are not well defined. Frank's feelings for robots are friends, and this is the most critical factor that he has been reluctant to erase the robot's memory. The relationship is delicate.
The analysis of this particular character of Frank is also very flavorful. Frank, as a thief, loves to steal luxury goods because it doesn't hurt anyone. Later, he was imprisoned and felt guilty for his son and daughter. Old and lonely, and with a stubborn character, he does not want others to interfere in his life. But all day long, doing nothing, dazedly waiting for death to come. Later, because of the arrival of robots, life took a little more twists and turns, which gave life to the lifeless old students a little bit of color.
The best part is that the robot did not take the usual route, and had to leave after having a relationship with Frank, which made the whole film more flavorful.
So like it.
