A journey of self-awakening

Thaddeus 2022-03-25 09:01:23

From the birth of tima to knowing kenichi, and kenichi's face when he asked tima "who are you", to being told that it is a robot, it is presupposed that the robot will have self-awareness, and realize the relationship between human and robot. When the awakening of her self-consciousness means the difference in the essence of existence and the rupture of the relationship between her and kenichi, "the question of where did she come from" bothers her, when she asks "who am I?" It means that she has to find herself again; kenichi is building a bridge between people and robots through "love". In the end, the ending means that love is not omnipotent, and the gap between living things and non-living things can never be solved, but still There is hope, and without hope one cannot survive.

    Under the disproportionate demise of jazz, everything is just right. In the end, she wants to return to herself and leave a hand that she can't hold, otherwise the sentence "Who am I" has no meaning. If the robot is also deeply in love with people, then it is better to do the former. There are shadows of Otomo Keyang everywhere in the painting style, which is not beautiful enough, but wins with exquisite backgrounds. The wind blew, and in the halo, Tima's hair seemed to breathe.

Metropolis quotes

  • Duke Red: [is wearing ancient Babylonian-style clothes and standing on a platform. The background behind him is in Sepia tone and clouds are moving about] At this moment we as a nation are about to touch the stars! I tremble at the honour of announcing the culmination of mankind's history of intellectual and scientific achievement. Yesterday our power spanned the Earth, today it can illuminate the heavens! May it stand forever! Our Ziggurat!

  • Tima: [Tima has just discovered that she is a robot, not a human] I am an artificial human. A machine created to conquer the world and destroy it.
