human beings

When I just watched the first half of the episode, I was so excited that I finally saw a movie about robots that was not limited to discussing the struggle between robots and humans, but began to have humanity in the face of a robot (its own ideas, creativity, Emotional perception, pursuit of freedom) and excited and tolerant, treat them as people, treat them with respect as a person, and help them maintain their rights as a "person" (private property, personal freedom, etc.) , which makes me sigh, the height of human thinking can always exceed my measure;

But I'm afraid I can't agree with the second half. I know that what the film wants to express is to become a more complete person, to have love, and to desire to be recognized as one of them, so that I can't help being lonely, but in order to obtain a so-called human being The certificate of a human being given by the notary department, transforming his body into an organ that is almost the same as that of a human being, and finally obtaining a so-called human certificate through the exchange of blood to make it senile and die; how impressed I am in front of me, How disappointed I am with this passage;

In order for a robot to be regarded as a human being by humans, does it have to replicate all human organs and acquire all the characteristics of a human being before it can be regarded as a human being? This film explores how to become human, and the reason why humans are humans and not animals is not the characteristic that the film presents to us at the beginning? For example, starting to learn to think, be creative, perceive and pursue emotions (including family, friendship, and love), desire and struggle for freedom; I think these are enough, instead of having to love, heterosexuality, and sex , even if these are necessary, they have their own reasons, but why should a robot also replicate the same organs as humans, with touch, food, breathing, and aging, in order to become a human? Don't ordinary animals also have these characteristics? At the beginning of the film, people who are creative, emotional, and thoughtful can be called human beings. If this is a major advance in thinking, this is the vision and mind of human beings, and it is the brilliance of human beings, then robots will be required in the later stage. Transforming it into an organ similar to that of a human being, I think this is the regression of thinking, this is the arrogance and arrogance of human beings;

Speaking of which, if it is said that becoming a human and being recognized as a human by human beings is only the request of a single robot in the movie, then in fact, he has already been recognized, and won Liam Neeson, Abbots David, Oliver Platt, etc. People have recognized it, so why bother to obtain the certification of the so-called authority? How can there be any organization in the world that can represent all mankind, and how can it represent all people?

Maybe it’s just that I misunderstood the viewpoints that I agree with in the early stage and those that I don’t agree with in the later stage. The director just wants to explore the reason why a person is a person from the perspective of a robot, and how many characteristics a human being has. It's not how a robot can be called a human, so I think the director has studied the characteristics of human beings very carefully;

Take my word, I hope this movie ends when the second miss passes away, and Andrew says: "You can cry, but I don't have lacrimal glands, and I can't use tears to vent my inner sadness. Do you know how painful it is?!", if The film ends here, I will give 5 stars, no matter how many stars, maybe Andrew is not a perfect human at this time, but nothing in this world is perfect, if this point is used as the dividing line, the This film is divided into two films, the first can be used as a history of the birth of the first non-born man, I will give this film full marks, and the second as a history of the struggle of a non-born man to seek human recognition, Although the history of love cannot be given full marks, it is also a touching story, "I would rather die as a person than live as a machine".

    Andrew Martin: [Very fast] Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?" How do you make a hanky dance? Put a little boogie in it! What is a brunette between two blondes? A translator! Do you know why blind people don't like to sky-dive? It scares their dogs! A man with demensia is driving on the freeway. His wife calls him on the mobile phone and says "Sweetheart, I heard there's someone driving the wrong way on the freeway." He says "One? There's hundreds!" What's silent and smells like worms? Bird farts. It must have been an engineer who designed the human body. Who else would put a waste processing plant next to a recreation area?
