First of all, this movie is really not like an American "blockbuster": the plot is straightforward and passionate, so you can guess the end at the beginning but still want to watch it. This film has always been quiet, without too much soundtrack, no explosions, and even no fragments that the SARFT feels to cut off. It's like watching a stream slowly flow, unable to make any big waves, from beginning to end. There is only straightforward dialogue and pale background. But I personally think that this atmosphere fits exactly what the film wants to express, that is, the discussion of the relationship between robots and humans. The second thing that is criticized is its plot, which is messy and incomprehensible. In fact, it depends on your positioning. If you watch this movie with the mentality of watching an American brainless action movie, it is true that the plot is more obscure for you, but if you watch it carefully, it is actually very good. Understandable. Speaking of this, many people may think that my messy talk is all nonsense, well, let me talk about some of my specific views below.
～～～～～Twisted dividing line～～～～～～
(moderate spoiler below)
First of all, at the beginning of the film, the background of the film is introduced in words, which probably survived a major disaster People built cities and invented a robot that can help humans survive. Then the protagonist appears and handles a case of a robot murdering a dog as an insurer, and then the other protagonist of the film, the robot, comes on stage. The long look is harmless to humans and animals, and it's like Baymax. It's attentive in every way (to be honest, if the robot in the movie is designed to be a little cute, it might be better).
After that, things were not quite right. The robots that were obviously subject to the second agreement (prohibition of robot mutation and self-repair) started to self-immolate. Of course, these anomalies attracted the attention of the protagonist. After investigation, he discovered a big secret, the robot. Has begun to have self-awareness. In fact, on this point, some people will say that they have long been self-aware, but are restricted by the first agreement and the second agreement. But the self-awareness I understand means that they can be aware of their existence and can think independently. This of course should not be subject to constraints.
After that, the protagonist was dragged to the "secret base" of the robots by half kidnapping. I think from this place to the end, the film has entered a continuous climax.
First, this segment is the most complicated and most changing part of the protagonist Jake's inner emotions. At first he was dragged forward reluctantly, and later shot and killed the policeman, probably mainly for self-defense. But it is not difficult to see that his emotions towards robots have changed. After arriving at their "secret base", it was obvious that Jake's resistance to the robot was slowly weakening. Until the end, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the robot.
The second is the performance of details. There are two details that I think I do better: the first is the robot with a broken hand and graffiti on its body, with a bag on its back. I don’t know why this He has always been unbearable to dress up. I feel that he is super pitiful. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Of course, this mainly shows the cruel abuse of humans to robots. Second, the robots made a seat for Jake, and even brought an awning, which is so warm! ! ! Of course this is just my subjective feeling.
The third is the evolution of robots. I don’t know if you have noticed that when Jake was going back to the city, the robot kept repeating: "You are threatening human life." The appearance rate of this sentence, including the first shootout later, was still the same. Very high. Remember the first agreement of robots: "Prevent robots from harming any human beings." And the subsequent gun battles showed that they did not resist at all, which shows that the first agreement is still working at this time. And, at this time, the conversation between Jake and the robot is cold, like a conversation with a machine without intelligence. Then, as we continue to approach the destination, we can clearly feel that there is more natural dialogue between humans and robots. What impresses me is that there are many airships floating in the sky after passing by a place, Clio (beauty robot) Ask a question once: What are these machines (referring to airships) used for? This surprised me to find that he already has the ability to think independently. Remember the process of developing the first robot that Hawke said later? At the beginning, it was the communication between robots and humans, which shows that Creo has reached the initial stage. Finally, when I arrived at the secret base and saw the big robot boss, I could clearly feel that the boss talked more smoothly.
Finally arrived at the secret base, the protagonist "sex" after drinking, danced with Creo, and then Creo asked: my little Jia Jia, do you love me? Just like a child. My goodness, Creo has developed emotions by this time. Robot evolution has reached the mid-term. After that, Jake took the initiative to hand over the nuclear power supply, seeing that he no longer resisted and began to trust the robots. Then he was leaving the secret base. When making a "parting message" to Creo, Creo said to Jake: I know why the rain is different now. Jake asked: What? Creo Answer: I don't think I can understand it. This is enough to show that Creo has evolved to an advanced stage.
In the end, evil humans carried weapons to carry out slaughter. Jake, who had already drove away, came back again. On the one hand, he was trying to save his wife. On the other hand, he must be a robot, which is more accurate to say that it should be a robot with a soul, and has emotions. So came back to rescue, and the robot suffered heavy losses. The big boss and the other upright boy died, leaving only Creo and his little pet. Of course, the villain was eventually wiped out. Creo put his hand on the baby’s face and gently stroked it. The baby stopped crying. This shows that Creo’s emotions have completely evolved and reached the level of humans. The reserves of knowledge and intelligence have completely crushed mankind. In the end, Creo and his little pet successfully reached the radiation zone, avoiding the pursuit of human beings.
In the end, the film uses Jake and his wife and children to find the sea and live a happy life.
The whole end of the play
and there are a fragment, initially thought it was after the transfer, I discovered I did not expect to see a prequel, talking robot step by step how to become human slaves, suffered bullying.
～～～～～Twisted dividing line～～～～～～
There are many thought-provoking things in this film. For example, the writing protocol is a robot that is not controlled by humans, so the so-called precision mechanics are also Impossible to exist, the robot completely relied on its own evolution to break through the second and first agreements (in fact, I think it should not have completely broken through the first agreement). So does the breakthrough behavior occur naturally or deliberately when the intelligent robot writes the protocol? I prefer the latter. The film said that to the end of the development of intelligent robots, its intelligence has broken through human intelligence, so he must have thought of this too. If this continues, more and more robots will break through the agreement in the city. The development of things after that will be interesting.
Also, there is a robot pet in the film. This thing is completely created by robots. There is no so-called agreement. It also shows self-judgment and aggressiveness towards humans. Just imagine, when more and more robots "de-protocol", in order to expand the scope of survival, they will certainly "create humans", and new robots will not be controlled by agreements at all and become truly independent people. By then, the fate of mankind is really hard to say.
Also, robots are created, so the thinking of robots must be compared to that of humans, but the difference between robots and humans is that humans have not yet figured out the mystery of human thinking, while robots are very clear about their own way of thinking. , This is also very scary, because understanding means that it can be transformed.
Finally, there is one thing I still don’t understand. Although the robot boss was killed, its bionucleus was not destroyed. Instead, it was taken away by the villain. The villain was later killed. Why didn’t Jake take it? What about its biological nucleus? Wouldn't it be possible to resurrect it?
In any case, in my opinion, this is an out-and-out good film, which may not be appreciated by everyone, but if you take a closer look, you will find its charm.
