Parents need training

The title of the film is a pun. On the surface, it seems to refer to the mother of the robot, but in the end, I realized that it also refers to the heroine. When the hostess was young, she asked the mother of the robot why I was the only child and why other children could not be born with me. The latter replied: because mothers need time to learn. However, it is a machine. For artificial intelligence, learning is only a matter of a few strings of codes and a few instructions. It is the heroine who really needs time. She wants to learn to be a role model for a perfect human in order to be qualified to be the mother of countless human embryos lying in a cultivation vessel in the future. Her previous mother candidate No. 2 was disqualified when she was ten years old because she did not meet the criteria. This reminds me of the popular parent-child topics, irresponsible parents, and doting bear children. When the only criterion for determining whether or not to be a parent is age, many people will become other people’s parents before they have enough abilities and qualities to be responsible for their own lives. Those weak, violent, selfish, selfish and lack of responsibility parents raise offspring. Nurture yourself or make it go to other extremes. Raising a child is not a small project. Being a qualified parent really requires training. I guess that part of the creator’s inspiration must come from unqualified parents or bear children.

The second female who broke into the underground base is undoubtedly the number 1 cultivated by the robotic mother. She has watched a special antiquity TV program watched by the hostess, and the robot mother knew that she was carrying a tracker with her and turned it over to fix it. And her style is also an obvious hint. From the point of view of movie character creation, usually the more important roles of female one female two will not adopt too similar styles, because film and television dramas need to highlight the different personalities of the characters in the image and facilitate the audience to distinguish them. However, the second female has a very similar height, posture, hair color, hair color and skin color to the hostess. The two stand outside the infirmary, wearing clothes of almost the same color tone and the same material, and they look at each other and talk in the same posture as the person in the mirror. This hint is really clever. Because they come from duplicate embryos with the same genes. You can even understand that this is a selfless and selfish psychological struggle by the same person. The selfish side tells you that it is dangerous now and you must leave everything and escape immediately. But the selfless side opposed it, no, let's take other people along.

I once worked in a Japanese company for a period of time, and I deeply understand why a company’s fixed culture and style remain the same regardless of the frequent movement of personnel. Not only is there as clear and strict as the workplace shown in Japanese TV dramas, the most frightening thing is that all newcomers who enter it will quickly learn this set of practices under the influence of ears, and then use the same way to treat later people. There is no solution to this situation unless you replace all the old people. This is what the mother machine does. It even changed the composition of the air and wiped out all the humans in the old world, leaving only the No. 1 and No. 3 that it cultivated. If No. 1 can come back with No. 3 to save her brother, maybe the mother of the robot will keep her, but she doesn't. Selfishness is also a chronic disease of mankind that the mother machine wants to eliminate.

The movie reversed several times, and the final ending seemed beautiful. The imperfect humans disappeared completely, and the Virgin Mary (praise and righteousness), who was both benevolent and courageous, had a sound and perfect personality, became the mother of a whole new generation of humans. The ultimate goal of Mother Robot seems to be for human beings to become better, but I still don't stand by it. Eliminate all low-level and imperfect things, and what remains will be a perfect new world, which Hitler seemed to think back then.
