It turned out to be rushing to Uncle An Dong, who called Zorro was once so cool and handsome, that is a trace of an age.

The film is set, our future in this film only has a small world, most of the earth has been destroyed by the sun, humans have created a large number of robots for survival, but smart humans have long foreseen robots Both the speed and intellectual development of the
robot are superior to humans, so two passwords are created: 1 robots cannot harm humans;
2 robots cannot repair themselves or modify other robots.

As a result, the eliminated or damaged robots will be cleaned up, and the robots that consciously repair themselves will be brutally violent as in the beginning of the movie. Because of this, the insurer of the robot company, our protagonist, Uncle An Dong is very busy. He has experienced countless human fraud and robot damage incidents. Unknowingly, he is very depressed mentally, and even wants to escape all pregnant wives. After leaving here, why he chose him as the witness of the machine era might be because he was used to seeing too many invisible contrasts between robots and humans, and felt that robots are more honest than humans, so he awakened humans earlier than other humans. The inevitable social demise.

Like all artificial intelligence science fiction films, the main theme of this film is the awakening of robot consciousness, which means the beginning of the era of resistance of machine slaves. They are doing all kinds of dirty work, and even use the second password to deprive them of their right to survive and evolve. For example, in the opening movie, the police found an old robot repairing itself, so they raised a pistol at him, poor. Without any resistance, the robot raised his hand to protect his head and begged the police for mercy. In the end, he was brutally killed. In order to keep the secret of robot evolution, the robot welder No. 206 even chose to self-immolate, but at the critical moment of Uncle Anton, the robot still stood up, gave up freedom, saved Uncle Anton from being killed by humans, and Uncle Anton was also taken by the robot. Moved, in turn shot and killed his shameless kind.

The whole film is filled with an indescribable sadness and decadence, but it gives me a very real feeling. The robot design of this drama is very praised. The face mask of each robot can be described as pitiful and cute. . In connection with several other robot movies "Mechanical Crisis", "I, Robot" seems to be inevitable for the awakening of high-IQ robots. Our old world will eventually end in the new world of tomorrow.

It is hard to imagine that as a human director, one can tell his fellow human beings from an objective to terrifying perspective—we: no species can survive on earth forever, even if it is the human being who once created an immortal civilization, we are just the earth. A drop in the ocean for hundreds of millions of years, and the rest of our time will continue on another related species. Race and race survival are actually not related, but life is interrelated. Robots are born from humans. The hand, they were supposed to make us live a better life, but in the end they were superior to us and replaced us. The director used a serious and calm attitude to tell the audience that it was not high-IQ robots that ruined the human world in the end. The nuclear disaster is not about solar radiation, but the cruel arrogance and cannibalism of human beings. And robots eventually become the heirs of human beings to the earth, not only because they are far superior to our physical strength, speed, intelligence, and ability to survive in a highly nuclear radiation environment, the most important thing is that they continue our humanity and inherit Our desire and ability for life ultimately made these robots the only dominant species that the scarred Mother Earth can accept. What is interesting is that the first robot creature created by the three robots in the film is a robot cockroach, because the desert world is a cockroach. The viable and powerful species implies that robots are more aware of the results of natural selection than we do.

The director also tells us through the awakened robot that people should live a life on the road of seeking a better life, not just to survive, so if you want to die, you have to live well and be worthy of your life. This film does not have cool Hollywood special effects, and the future world will not have the high-tech metal world in the traditional Hollywood commercial blockbusters. Sexy and naked beauties, friends who run on these two themes but especially hate their brains. Just give up, because this is exactly a movie that makes people think deeply. On the contrary, it gave me an incomparable soul shock. At least it made me think about the above problems for two full days after watching it.

It is worth mentioning that as the plot progresses, the soundtrack of each segment fits very well, beautifully, and thought-provoking. Uncle Anton recalled that when his living environment had not started to change when he was a child, the scene of playing on the beach turning the tortoise in reverse was heartwarming. Compared with the actual desert and death in the film, it was infinitely sighing. The director's urgent need for environmental protection Undoubtedly revealed.

I always think that this is not a pure science fiction movie. It contains too many heavy topics about race, life, survival, human relations, etc., but in summary, this is a good thinking movie. Push!
