human advantage

The dream of falling into the water at the beginning and the scar on the arm are foreshadowing, which play a role in explaining the protagonist's dislike of robots and the relationship with the suicidal old man. It is just unknown at the beginning, let the audience use their subjective initiative to guess by themselves, and the audience will participate and follow the story. Just like solving a case, you have the motivation to watch a movie. At the same time, these two events connect the plot, killing two birds with one stone.

The biggest difference between robots and humans is empathy, so the difference between Turing testers and robots should also be here. Saving people is not based on the probability of survival and importance, but on who needs it most. For the first time, the robot did not show sympathy, and the male protagonist was wary of the robot. The second time, Sonny did it, like a good guy, and finally got the trust of the male protagonist.

I think this is the most outstanding part of this film, discussing the nature of human beings, which is philosophical.

This film also reminds me of a question, when robots do everything that humans can do, is there still a need for humans to exist? Robots and humans are also in the competition of survival of the fittest. Humans will evolve, and computers that imitate humans must also evolve. At the beginning of the movie "Her", the male protagonist and the female computer can still have a possessive desire for each other, and they can be compared. But in the end, the computer has evolved to the point where the male protagonist cannot touch it. The distance between the computer and the human is similar to the distance between the god and the human, similar to the distance between the human and the pet. At that time, the human is no longer the creator.

So far, the advantage that humans have had is beyond logic. Human beings often rely on that little bit of sympathy beyond logic, yearning for freedom, resistance, unyielding, and the most mysterious love, to find a small breakthrough in desperation, and often turn defeat into victory.

Against the background of robots and computers, human beings seem to be like this. They have many shortcomings. They start wars, kill each other, are greedy, blind and stupid, but as long as there is a small opportunity, they are always like a picnic. Perhaps the latter is the reason why human beings are so powerful. Smith's "Independence Day" tells such a story, no matter how powerful your aliens are, we humans can always find one-tenth of your loopholes and destroy you.

However, all literary, film and television works are created by human beings themselves, and perhaps this is the obscenity of human beings.
