I don't understand, but I'm shocked

To borrow a phrase from director Ang Lee who likes it: "I don't understand it, but it's shocking." This movie is really amazing. There are several soundtracks in it that seem to have heard the sounds of various planets recorded before. I really doubt if the director has traveled through the past! And a very interesting point is that the ending of the movie compared to the advanced nature of the movie itself, I have to start to suspect that there is actually a lonely cycle about our path.

This imagination is so convincing, and who would have thought that the best character in the whole article is actually the scheming computer 9000! He is very conceited, others praise him, his invisible tail can be lifted up to the sky, but he has to hold his chest out and say: This is what our capable children should do. Cunning and ruthless, he killed a lot of astronauts for the mission, and almost wanted to kill the male protagonist. The male protagonist escaped his clutches and was about to shut him up, but he would still follow good manners, act coquettishly and show cuteness, saying that he would never do it again next time. Dare to work hard. When he finally disappeared, he said that he was in pain. At the end, I even sang a song for the male protagonist, which made me want to cry a little??? I can't imagine that if computers have evolved to this stage, we may really need to examine the ethical and emotional issues of dealing with computers. In this movie, about the computer 9000, I can't help but think about ourselves. It is true that 9000 is scary, but apart from the horror of computers like 9000, should we think about it, we made the computer so smart, So empathetic, and we should think about giving an emotional robot a little bit of our emotions in addition to fear and exploitation. After all, we gave him emotional thinking, but we did not give him an emotional feedback. Thinking about people having human emotions, they would be sad.

Good guy, I just found out that I wrote a lot about the scheming computer 9000 in the second paragraph. The scheming computer 9000 is really good at bewitching people. ????

2001: A Space Odyssey quotes

  • Interviewer: HAL, you have an enormous responsibility on this mission, in many ways perhaps the greatest responsibility of any single mission element. You're the brain, and central nervous system of the ship, and your responsibilities include watching over the men in hibernation. Does this ever cause you any lack of confidence?

    HAL: Let me put it this way, Mr. Amor. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.

  • Aries-1B stewardess: [first lines; instructing to a approaching man] Here you are, sir, main level please.
