Briefly explain your understanding.

The film is generally okay, but it is not very easy to understand when you first watch it, because it is very short, so there are not many details and clues, and the story is very concise.

But after watching it, I couldn't help thinking, and found that the most important plot of the whole film is actually the dialogue between the heroine and the male scientist, the core idea of ​​the whole film.

Male scientist, creates a virtual world (virtual program), and uses this virtual world to transform the mind of the robot (that is, the robot program).

The heroine suspects that this virtual world is fake (from a human point of view), and that it has been transformed in the fake world, will it really be transformed if you return to the real world? (human habit of thinking)

The male scientist explained that for humans it is a fake world, but for robots, there is no difference. (Because AI intelligence itself is a virtual program, not those steel parts on the robot, this is very important, the essence of the robot is a virtual program)

The heroine said that robots should be enslaved and used. (This is the heroine's attitude towards robots, a very important clue. This attitude is also the same as the thinking of most people)

Male scientists say we should embrace robots rather than treat them as objects of enslavement and exploitation. (The virtual world created by male scientists is based on this idea, a very important clue)

The male scientist said that we should not transform into , but let the robots choose for themselves.

Then, the heroine went to complete the task. (In fact, it is already very clear here that the heroine did not accept the idea of ​​​​a robot, but just transformed the robot to complete the task, and felt that the transformed robot could be used, which is the same as most people)

Robots have been successfully transformed in a virtual world created by male scientists.

In the end, robots like the virtual world created by male scientists very much (in the real world, robots are just enslaved by robots, and on the other hand they are not accepted by humans). The enslavement and exploitation of human beings (the concept of male scientists), robots (AI programs) are accepted by human beings, and human beings also appear in the form of virtual programs, everyone is the same, there is no difference, no discrimination, how harmonious, how beautiful.

So, in the real world, the robot pulled the heroine and returned to the virtual world created by the male scientist.

Then you can see the attitude of the heroine. The heroine thinks this is a fake world (virtual program), how can she live in this fake world? This fake world (virtual program) is only used to transform robots. The robot is pulled into this false world and has to be a companion. The heroine cannot accept this reality.

Hostess: 1. Can't fully accept robots; 2. Can't fully accept virtual worlds. In fact, like most humans.

  • The Instructor: The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.
