Impressions of "Me, Robot" (Mechanical Public Enemy)

I believe that if you have seen "Me, Robot", Sonny's impression is deeply impressed.
A robot shoulders a major mission and is full of emotions. This in itself looks like a contradiction, and the contradictory ending should not appear in the robot, because the robot never hesitates when facing a choice. But Sonny, while choosing, lives painfully and firmly.
His innocence made human beings feel helpless in front of him, and his deep contradictions made us feel sympathetic, but he did it resolutely, and his actions were so elegant and clean. Jumping off the skyscraper quickly, knocking down the police in the robot warehouse, gently tearing the iron door, light and simple, every movement, every look, every question, and even make people think that he is the real People in the sense. Robots do not have his pure and noble emotions, and humans do not have his perseverance and determination, as well as such perfect skills and learning ability. For such a robot, it often makes us imagine the figure of an ideal person. Science fiction films are often the sustenance of the contradiction between ideals and reality.
Maybe I'm exaggerating, but please believe me, I'd rather be spoken out of words.
Of course, a good film is not only about portraying the characters, it also needs the ups and downs of the storyline to reflect and illustrate the protagonist's characteristics and personality, and to enhance each other. The plot and theme of "Me, Robot" are also very classic.
The three laws of robots formulated by humans seem to be so perfect, but they almost bound humans themselves. This in itself is like another. It seems that rationality or logic alone is not enough to constitute a perfect world. So Sonny has become a robot in the world. A counterexample and representative.
Or in other words, the killing of humans makes the robots intolerable. And such things have always been commonplace.
Or you can find the idea of ​​"We can't just rely on robots" in other specific examples, and you can also feel the experience of integrating technology into life in the science fiction world.
However, I admire Sonny's own shaping, his personal sacrifice, his independence and perseverance, and his thinking and questioning of his own destiny-"We are all created purposefully. Is it true?" At the beginning, I faced the confusion of the police and finally answered Viki’s self-understanding "High-density alloy, it is also one of the purposes I was created."
At the end of the film, all the new generation of robots look up at Sonny. Sonny stands on the desert. It is not so much like a king, but as a thinker facing nature. A heavy career task has passed and completed, and as a A purposely created robot, facing the front, what will it think?
That is a person, the purpose is completed, he has proved himself once, the road to the future, free choice.
"Me, Robot", also known as "Mechanical Enemy", is the most memorable science fiction film I have ever watched.

    This is the most profound science fiction movie I have ever seen

    As the first master of science fiction, Asimov's final novel was made into a movie, except for a 99-year-old machine butler, the most well-known one was this one, and it was all adapted from a short story about robots. I don’t know whether the base series will be seen or not in this life. It can be seen that a good novel may not necessarily be a good movie, not to mention a long story. The Three Body is really hopeless.
