longing pursuit and infinite greed

I wanted to see Chappie when it first came out in theaters, but never got around to it, and when Avengers 2 came out I sneaked my wife behind my back (she doesn't like sci-fi movies) ), the results were in line with expectations, since this kind of popcorn movie is all about filling your eyes with eye-popping effects, but the two movies have the same effect. The day before yesterday, I finally waited for the HD version of "Chappie" to be downloaded, but I waited for two days, because I always have to adjust the best viewing mood for a sci-fi movie like this, so as to understand what the director wants to express. mood and thinking. Sure enough, "Chappie" did not disappoint me, it reminded me of "I, Robot I," filmed by "Alex Proyas" 11 years ago. The same whimsical plot of Robot2004 is just to commemorate the "Three Laws of Robotics" formulated by the famous science fiction writer Asimov: 1. Robots must not harm humans, or stand by when they see humans being harmed; 2. Under the premise of violating the first law, the robot must absolutely obey any orders given by humans; three, under the premise of not violating the first law and the second law, the robot must try its best to protect itself. Obviously, in this movie, the protagonist maker did not give any laws to the intelligent robot he had become, but verbally warned chappie not to commit crimes, not to rob or kill. In this film, there are many questions for viewers to think about. Director Neil Blomkamp wants to tell people that this kind of silicon-based life is like carbon-based life. As long as it is born in this world, there will be human beings. General perception and emotion, besides, silicon-based life has various abilities that are unmatched, and more importantly, they are immortal. Perhaps the director does not want to consider for chappie whether the maker wants to live in this world in the form of a robot, even more incredible The idea is to resurrect the dead and create an immortal body, and the images are actually beautiful. However, in recent years, whether it is the talent of Hollywood directors, or the direction that scientists are working on, if one day, this is really realized, will this world have a paradox, people die, and their thoughts are uploaded to the public. A new body, is this how to survive forever and ever? People have been immortalized, so the earth is only so small, and everywhere is overcrowded, so what about new life? "Prometheus (2012)" tells us that life cannot be greedy, and we must respect the creator and the law of the universe from birth to death. "Transcendental Hackers (2014)" and "Superbody (2014)" want us to express another situation. When thinking is uploaded to an infinite height, it will become omnipotent, omnipotent, and ubiquitous. It sounds like I feel that this is already supernatural, but it is the desire and fear of human beings for this ability. Just code so much first, the overall feeling is very good, a must-see movie, highly recommended 9.5 points
