I, Robot

I want to come to the BS first about the translation of "Machine Public Enemy". Does it mean that the same Will Smith must be related to "Public Enemy"? Secondly, I would like to give a big compliment to this movie. I haven't seen such a cool science fiction movie for a long time. I watched it with the mentality of watching a Hollywood commercial blockbuster. In the end, I found that I felt a lot more feelings than expected. The director The skill is not bad, after all, the success of "The Crow" and "Dark City" is not fake.

When Will came out at the beginning of the movie, I exclaimed that he will finally take off, which proves that the film is outright commercial, and there are traces of advertising that has done too much. Converse shoes are always JVC players. The robot delivered the FedEx express, and Will drove an Audi. His character is another policeman. There is nothing unexpected about his character setting of the robot service man. Then the murder case appeared, and the Will soldiers were dispatched! The president of the company with a conspiracy look, the lady who is not very cooperative in the technical department, and the crime scene that looks like a suicide, the new breed of robot NS5 suddenly appeared, which is the routine of detective novels. It’s just that this solemn and mighty USR company makes people feel a chill from the bottom of my heart. The huge statue of a robot leaning over and staring at humans suddenly reminds me of the surreal machine right foot in "Ghost in the Shell 2." Looking down on human beings, is it our fear or our hope?

At this time, Hansen and Gertier’s fairy tales appeared, and the breadcrumbs started to lead the way a little bit. Sonny, an NS5 robot that could choose not to obey the three laws, appeared vigorously. He is closely related to the death of the doctor. He His humane and even gentle blue eyes proved his difference. While thinking about who he was and why he was born, he also developed an understanding and fear of death. The key to this case is except In addition to him, another conspiracy was gradually devised. At the same time, a large number of NS5 went on the market, occupying almost every family. Potential threats are beginning to surface. This is the shortcoming of monopoly. Think about the embarrassment of each of our computers when the Windows XP vulnerability was caught. Everywhere. However, Will Biaoche evades chasing and killing. The shadow of past life and mutual trust with MM are typical Hollywood routes, but the plot is still tight, and there is no respite. During the period, he never forgets to use Will to make fun. The story is in Will according to Sonny’s dream. The picture inside saw the climax of NS5's crazy cruelty and obeys the three laws of pre-robots that would protect human beings. A big riot in NS5 is inevitable. At this time, the plot finally moved towards the second Renaissance of "Animatrix". The story can start as a prequel to Matrix. At the end of the story, there was a happy but ambiguous ending. We have every reason to believe that we are preparing for the sequel.

In fact, apart from the name I, Robot and the three laws of robots, as well as the names of Dr. Lanning and Susan Calvin, it has nothing to do with Asimov's "I, Robot", but a little bit of "Steel Cave". The route to solve the case. Asimov’s robot novel series is not just as simple as the three laws. It involves how to interpret the three laws, how to predict the wisdom of robots from a psychological perspective, how the three laws conflict and create contradictions, etc. The robots in Simov's novels will not be so polarized. More time, he is from the perspective of robots, starting from the basics of the three laws, trying to find a more harmonious relationship between humans and robots. The script of this movie is obviously a typical Hollywood style, but it is a relatively successful one. It has a simple understanding of the difficult human-computer relationship and philosophical connotation, and it fills all kinds of entertainment elements. The computer special effects are very good. There are no lack of magnificent scenes. The racing car and the final action scenes are even more interesting. It is also a very good commercial film.

In fact, it’s the robot Sonny that makes me remember the most. The film gives me a very gentle tone, which is as moving as his extremely blue eyes. The timid question "Will it hurt?" before he is about to be destroyed is even more so. People are sighing, he is like a child who studies hard, clever and cunning, and the generation of thinking and self-consciousness that is not limited by the law will make him a leader of a new era. In the final battle, the blink of an eye that I learned to express tacit understanding with Will in order to cooperate with Will made people marvel at him. Then the excellent martial arts and the sadness of admitting that he could not do anything about the death of the doctor made people think about him. Is the existence of mankind a threat or the next stage of human evolution. After all, the three laws are perfect, and there is only one logical result of the three laws, which is revolution. Robots can evolve into representatives of absolute rationality. Like Viki, the controller who treats humans as rare animals in the movie, they can also evolve non-carbon-based life forms with human emotions like Sonny. At this time, their behavior is no longer pure. When imitating humans, but with self-conscious activities, humans can no longer just regard them as tins.

I suddenly thought of a sentence I didn’t know where I saw it, “The classic ending is not an answer to you, but a question.” “2001 A Space Odyssey” has been memorable for many years, “AI” because The superfluous ending made me angry for a long time, and I still can't let it go, and I don't believe in Spielberg's myth. I didn’t put the movie "I, Robot" to a high level before I saw it. I just thought that the movie with the name Asimov "I, Robot" would not be able to enter the classic ranks, which made me very sorry. After all, it is the same place. In the golden age of science fiction, he was no better than Arthur. Clark is bad, but Kubrick is long gone.
