Talking about the movie, the story begins with the extinction of mankind, and the story begins with the underground world in constant explosions and vibrations (the last straw for dying human beings should be war). The first embryo, No. 001, was cultivated by the robot mother (AI robot) to start a better human cultivation plan in the new era (there is a foreshadowing here), and more than 30 years later, the heroine 004 was born (from the number of embryos taken away) watch) to start the movie story.

Let me talk about why I like suspense movies. If I use a sentimental word to describe it, it is "tasteful". The charm of suspense movies is that they require you to constantly collect every detail, and keep thinking about the development and ending of the story by yourself (similar to the process of exploring the secret room), and the clues to the ending are usually in a previous inadvertent segment, just like a It’s a buried burden. When you know the ending, you pat your head and feel bright (similar to the process of enlightenment). There are also cases where you are confused and don't know what to say after reading it, that is, you don't pay attention to details and thinking, or you don't understand the big logic of the story's worldview. Science fiction movies usually have their own unique worldviews, such as the popular "Wandering Earth" during the Chinese New Year. The sun suddenly declines. Humans use the power of the world to install engines on the earth to push the earth to another galaxy similar to the sun. This kind of brain hole is often not finished until the end of the story, the ending is not very well guessed, and some even need to be supplemented by off-site information. Usually doomsday-themed movies are open-ended stories, and many deeper questions are often worth thinking about deeply after watching them.

Recently, I watched an apocalyptic sci-fi suspense movie "I Am Mother". The story of the movie was ups and downs. At one point, it made people feel a little cool. Could it be that the super AI Skynet of "Terminator" will destroy human beings or like "The Matrix" to human beings There are bad intentions (when battery). In the process of following and thinking (the emotional roller coaster), I found that the ending is a warm movie about the future, and it is also very interesting to think about the future of mankind, which is one of the reasons I recommend it.

Talking about the movie, the story begins with the extinction of mankind, and the story begins with the underground world in constant explosions and vibrations (the last straw for dying human beings should be war). The first embryo, No. 001, was cultivated by the robot mother (AI robot) to start a better human cultivation plan in the new era (there is a foreshadowing here), and more than 30 years later, the heroine 004 was born (from the number of embryos taken away) watch) to start the movie story.

The last test - the arrival of a strange woman (female 2)

The fewer characters, the deeper the plot. Six months before the arrival of the strange woman, the robots on the ground began to grow corn, and the air was no longer polluted. The earth has regained the conditions for human survival (the second woman told the heroine during the escape). The heroine successfully passed the test and performed very well in all aspects. In connection, it seems that the new era has begun to brew. As for the results of mother's labor, only the final test is needed. Is the arrival of the strange woman accidental or arranged? After watching the movie, it was a sudden test. Some people thought it was a complete arrangement by mother. I think it was a conspiracy theory. AI robots are not gods, and many things are unpredictable. Another part of the female stranger as a better human cultivation plan in the new era was also born in the underground base (in the hospital bed, he said that he had seen the video the heroine had seen a long time ago, and the birth of a strange woman is already doomsday, and it is impossible to live on TV anymore. ), was placed among the survivors as a child, and then escaped from a conflict in the remaining human settlements, and has been in a state of disconnection since the escape. Came to the field (stealing corn?) when it appeared to plant corn, then was hit by a robot and fled to the gate of the base. After that, everything is under the control of the mother, the identity of the strange woman (DNA identification), every word she said to the heroine, and the whereabouts of the strange woman. The heroine has been helping her in the process of communicating and interacting with strange women. She cares about human survivors, explores the real purpose of robots, and has a maternal desire to help and raise her younger brother. All these processes are under the dynamic mastery and evaluation of the mother, and the heroine finally passes the final test.

AI Robots for Better Human Cultivation Program

From No. 001 to No. 004, mother (AI robot) is also learning step by step how to be a good mother. There have been failures, but when she is the heroine, she has already assumed the role of a mother, and her tolerance for the heroine is beyond imagination. , When being forced to go out, the heroine and the second girl were released for the sake of the heroine. The heroine deceived the mother many times to rescue the second girl, and tolerated and treated strange women. What are the specific standards of excellence for the new human beings nurtured by mother here? It's not obedience, it's not simple honesty, because the heroine has deceived mother many times. The teaching of medicine, dance, philosophy, etc. is only a skill assessment. I think mother's standards for measuring new human beings are independent thinking and high moral quality (for the same kind of love) ), survival skills, scientific literacy.

The ethical proposition about sacrificing one person to save five people

In the process of the heroine facing the assessment, the mother asked an ethical question. Whether a healthy person can use organs to save five patients should sacrifice one person to save five patients, this is a topic of ethics. From the perspective of the results, it seems that living five people will gain greater benefits than sacrificing one person, but doing so in the real world is completely unethical and unlawful. The heroine's answer to this hot potato is: it depends on the situation. And live study and use Kant's theory to think about this problem. Mother also has some thoughts on this issue, that is, his behavioral logic is ruthless for humans who fail to screen and fail the assessment, and will be ruthlessly eliminated once they fail the assessment. Mother will sacrifice some substandard ones for the sake of further and greater interests. human.

Some thoughts on the story and the ending

At the end of the story, the heroine returned to the underground base and found that the base was protected by armed robots (mother was worried that there were other survivors attacking the base), returned to the base and took her brother away (the heroine showed extraordinary love and sacrifice for the same kind), Successful negotiation with mother and kill mother to take over the base to start a new era of human creation plan, mother told the heroine at the end that all robots are controlled by an IA, and each individual robot is interconnected and controlled by AI. The mother came to the second girl's house through the positioning device and asked the second girl if she still remembered her mother, and asked whether her survival was an accident (part of the new era plan, the daughter hated what the miners did to the same kind in the famine, He also passed the test), and then closed the door and ended (investigate the living condition of the second female, and the second female also passed the test. The door was closed so that the mother could explain the ins and outs of the matter to him, and do not speculate). The AI ​​system invented by humans finally re-screened humans and opened a new era of human secondary survival.

So far, there are still a series of problems in the story. In the future, will the new human beings control the computer or we will be controlled by the computer? Will the new human mother who faces moral and ability problems in the future continue to intervene and eliminate it? There will eventually be a war, whether the problems encountered in the old era will recur, and whether human beings will ultimately be a self-destructive species that cannot be restored.
