However, this story still brought me to tears. That is the watch of love by the little robot boy David. Love from a machine only gives, never asks; although clumsy, it is stubborn. Perseverance to the point that I would rather go through the forest and mud, through death, through the feasting, through the bottomless sea, until through the cold and long years. In order to get the attention of a human mother.
Pinocchio met Blue Fairy, so he became a beloved little boy. David did everything he could to find Blue Fairy in order to meet Blue Fairy. When he finally found it, he was caught in an endlessly embarrassing wait. Thousands of years later, his dream finally came true. But my mother has long since disappeared. In the end, he didn't get the love he longed for.
It is such a moving and sad story that makes people emotionally rethink the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. If these AIs can feel pain, how do we get along with them?
There is also exploration in the film. David was born for love, he was made, or the devotion of love that he asked for would be doomed to an unfair fate for him. After that, at Flesh Fair, it is a place where humans take pleasure in slaughtering robots. Those nanny robots and sex robots who serve human beings, they love human beings as their instinct, and human beings return cold and banter slaughter. I thought robots were ruthless, but in fact, people are the most ruthless. From Spielberg's point of view, although machines are made by humans, it does not mean that humans can kill them arbitrarily. Just like those kittens and puppies, although their survival depends on humans, humans should not be cruel to them.
This 2001 film and the same period "The Matrix" (Matrix) have the opposite vision. On the one hand, the machine is the weakest, and people bully the machine, and on the other hand, the human is the weakest, and the machine preys on the people. A truth has been proved, all sympathy is based on weakness. The same hostile parties correspond to another context, and the previous concepts are all overturned. In comparison, the most touching thing about the AI film is not the background setting of humans and machines, but the purest affection between humans and humans. At the end of the film where Monica falls asleep with David, all I see is the most ordinary mother and son in the world.
The paragraph left by David's designer in the film is from Yeats's "The Stolen Child", and the last sentence says the theme of the film: There are too many tears in this world, he doesn't understand.
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand
From a world more full of weeping than he can understand
