- Yolandi As a child, I was a little confused at first. Because the police are too unpolice, and the villains are too un-villain. The bullets scurrying all over the world didn't have any tension, it looked like a cartoon - not to mention the colorful gun barrels that looked like children's stickers. And the gangsters who were supposed to be vicious, seemed a little cute too: with weird little braids, or dressed up like a walking bubblegum... All of this used to make me frown , pause, cut out to do a lot of things. I really wondered why this movie was unanimously recommended by my friends. Because it looks so disrespectful! By the time Chappie was born, the absurd set was suddenly taken for granted. Whether it's a refrigerator with graffiti expressions, colorful bottles, or a painted brick wall, all of a sudden it becomes indiscriminate! As if it were a home, not a den for gangsters. Like a baby room, full of kids' favorite elements. And Chappie, who is cute and looks like a newborn baby, lives up to expectations and blinds me _(:з"∠)_ Just like people always like children involuntarily (before he turns into a bear), they can't help showing their children The softest expression on his own, no matter how the gangsters are... The gangsters, in front of Chappie, can't help but put on the posture of Daddy and Mommy, whispering softly, forgiving his mistakes, guiding him to evil (hello) Parents always Deon is not exempt from wanting the child to become what he likes, so there are all kinds of conflicts between good and evil, stammering, Chappie has formed his own character and has become a kind-hearted villain (Enough) But still, even though I liked the movie a little bit, I still thought it was too unserious! A few rare crimes were portrayed so witty, as if it was a house game, and it seemed that I could watch it with my little nephew, and I could tell him, "Don't be like this, auntie will hate you~"
Then came the final battle. The villain who said he wanted to control the city was smashed into scum. Uncle Wolf, who seemed to be a good man, controlled the mecha and got on it, and then died and lived. The reunion of the reunion, the separation of the separation.
(Spoiler ends here)
At the end, I was a little disappointed, and then I thought carefully, what exactly is this film trying to express?
The words from Yolandi suddenly popped into my head.
"It doesn't matter what you look like, what makes you special is what makes you special. This is the real you, your soul."
In fact, looking at the overall situation, people who we thought were good people became villains, thinking that The person who is the villain staged love and sacrifice at the end. Machines have become human, and people have become machines in a very sci-fi transfer of consciousness. Doesn't this reflect what Yolandi said?
The soul determines a person.
So even though Ninjia and the others do a lot of evil, they are not completely bad in the end. How can a person who can call his den his home and decorate his home colorfully be such a complete villain as he looks? In contrast, Uncle Wolf, who does not hesitate to create chaos in the city for his own self-interest, act as a self-directed destroyer and redeemer, manipulate mechas to destroy and treat human life like a mustard, is it not surprising at all? Regardless of what Chappie was taught to do, his "parents" were patient, loved him, and even instigated him to do evil, they used deceitful means and could not bear to hurt his childlike innocence. How can Chappie become a bad AI? In the end, he was willing to save Deon and sacrifice himself for the plot, which must also make Deon feel moved and gratified.
"Now we are both black sheeps, mommy."
Chappie wouldn't understand the black sheep metaphor because Yolandi gave him a very gentle explanation. In the end, the gentle family will be reunited. It's like a fairy tale comes to an end, there is always a happy ending. You don't need to be serious at all, you love them, see their hearts through the story, and hope they can live happily together, that's enough.
To me, this is a heartwarming story, without discussing the meaning of AI's birth, and without caring about the value of AI's existence.
Like black or white doesn't matter at all, it's a story of a kind soul giving birth to a kind ending.
