"Morgan" is an American science fiction film directed by Luke Scott and starring Kate Mara and Anya Taylor-Joy. The film was released in the United States on September 2, 2016.
Morgan is a low-budget sci-fi horror film, the first film directed by Ridley Scott's son Luke Scott. Ridley Scott, now 79 years old, established his status in the film industry when he gained attention in 1979 by directing the sci-fi film Alien. Representative works include "The Endless Flower", "Hannibal", "Prometheus", "Kill Lincoln", "The Martian" and so on. Luke Scott worked as an associate director on Ridley Scott's Pharaohs and the Gods films.
The film tells the story of a top enterprise risk management expert (Kate Mara played by Kate Mara) who is sent to a remote and extremely secret location to investigate an accident that she discovers is a bioengineering synthetic This "artificial man" was created by a creature created by DNA. This "artificial man" is code-named 1-9 Morgan. Although Morgan is only 5 years old, she has the appearance of 16 or 17 years old, and has a super high IQ. She failed the psychological evaluation test. , when the crash system is confirmed, everything becomes uncontrollable.
Morgan is the most self-aware, autonomous, and human-like experimenter, and the experimenter's purpose is to show the company that a more elegant and affable synthetic human is possible, although they try to give her a natural human emotional intelligence, But Morgan couldn't control his aggressiveness. The psychologist thinks that Morgan is like a microwave. He is arrogant and ignorant that the standard format of the psychological parameters of the fourth wave of artificial intelligence can test everything. The psychologist's evaluation for Morgan is a turning point in the film. From here, Morgan begins to want to do Own.
This movie makes me think of the famous British physicist Stephen Hawking's recent warning article in the "Guardian" that we are currently living in the most dangerous period in human history, with overpopulation, climate change, epidemics, etc. All are serious threats to humanity. Hawking said that the science and technology we have developed may destroy our planet. In a new world where robots can replace humans for most jobs, humans will have to be "re-educated." The world-renowned physicist has warned the world several times before that robots could wipe out humans.
In order to improve work efficiency and other reasons, humans have invented robots. But today robots are better than humans in many ways. For example, when it comes to stock selection and investment, they possess a level of calmness and rationality that humans cannot match. Recently released data shows that a fund that trades mathematical models and uses robots as "fund managers" beat Japan's best fund companies in March this year, achieving excellent results.
Vivek Wardwa, a researcher at Stanford University in the United States and a world-class artificial intelligence expert, once concluded that your job will cease to exist in 20 years: by 2036, robots and artificial intelligence will "eliminate" all human workers.
In the film, the creatures created in the laboratory have the ability to express emotions and the characteristics of conflict, blurring the boundaries between humans and artificial humans. The creatures created transcend the creators themselves, and in the face of this genetic engineering miracle, people have far underestimated its ability to evolve. In the course of its own evolution, human beings have possessed the trait of "higher intelligence", and human beings have become the masters of the earth and the main body of evolution. With the development of human beings, intelligence becomes independent from the human brain and acquires an autonomous life, that is, artificial intelligence. It is purer than humans, with greater evolutionary advantages and fewer weaknesses. This seems to be an evolutionary path. Humans are just a chain in evolution, a transitional stage in the evolution of intelligence.
(Ps: The ending is very surprising, so I won’t spoil it. There are many foreshadowings in the film. I really like the behaviorist (below) played by Rose Leslie. Her representative works include "Downton Abbey" and "Game of Thrones" No. 1 Season 2, "The Last Wizard Hunter")
