Our movies are getting more and more pessimistic about AI

Martin Scorsese once said: "The more secret the emotion is, the more powerful it is." This film is a proof, the emotion of the characters in the film is a emotion that everyone thinks he should have rather than a character Its own feelings, which resulted in the flattening of the characters. A lot of natural scenes were used, which gave the audience a chance to breathe under the tense atmosphere, and also caused confrontation. Although some people may think it is a bit deliberate, I think it is unavoidable. The little girl in red in "Schindler's List" has also been criticized by some people for being too shallow and deliberate. The male protagonist in "She" of the same type is a bit more lively and lively, and the characters are very three-dimensional and real. I feel that this pot should be carried by the actors.

The atmosphere of this film is created by a very good soundtrack, glass reflections, harsh red lights, neurotic lines... artificial intelligence can like you in design, and this like can be very realistic, but a real person has Maybe like you but not most of the time. I think this is an old-fashioned artificial intelligence movie idea that can be "generalized". "Machine Butler" and "Artificial Intelligence" are very optimistic about artificial intelligence. Although the ending of "Her" is relatively dark with AI, it is generally optimistic. This attitude is very pessimistic. To quote a sentence "One day the AIs are gonna look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons in the plains of Africa", I personally think this is a more mainstream view of AI now. Interestingly, we can see that our films have an increasingly pessimistic trend towards AI as time goes on. The characters in this film are really unsatisfactory, too flat... Really paper people. I suspect that I watched the castrated version, otherwise the director's editing skills are too bad, I think the first possibility is relatively high. Boss Nathan's look is a bit confusing. The male protagonist's motivation to fall in love with Ava is not enough, and his convincing power is not enough. The time for laying more lines in the front is also relatively long, so the effect of the turning point is quite good. The whole script is really well done, and it wouldn't have been nominated for best screenplay if there were only one or two beautiful twists. The still scene at the end of the film is one of the most powerful stills I've ever seen. Or to mention it again, this director is really good at creating atmosphere?? Finally, I turned it over, this heroine turned out to be the heroine of "The Danish Girl", I just found out that the acting is really good, very good

    God is not good. After the creation of mankind, mankind has also done a lot of bird things to usurp power.

    Nathan: Yeah. And all the manufacturers knew I was doing it, too. But they couldn't accuse me without admitting they were doing it themselves.

  • Nathan: The good deeds a man has done defends him. The good deeds a man has done defends him. The good deeds a man has done... defends him.
