Frankly speaking, Mai Mai, the heroine of this movie, is a little girl who is not very popular. I think everyone will have similar feelings when watching the movie. She is rebellious and arrogant, has a weird temper, and she likes to make her own way to cause trouble. There is nothing cute about the contempt.
The learning robot "7723" met such a girl as soon as she left the factory, and she became the first "knowledge" he acquired, the most important memory and the leading instruction for all his future actions. "7723" wanted to follow her, only in exchange for a disdainful sentence, "Well, we will be'blessed to me, and trouble to you!'" "7723" Of course I don't know what this means, it's just Another new piece of "knowledge" was stored in his memory, and he would never let "wheat" be in danger from now on.
Mai Mai is the same as the rampant and unscrupulous bear children we saw on the street. The film embeds the growth story of such an ordinary girl with no friends and strong suspicion of the outside world into the future intelligent world. Among them, a hypothesis is created, that is, if a robot friend who is super patient, civilized and dedicated, and dedicated to each bear child, will they be able to get a little more answer in the questioning of the adult world? When encountering a dangerous situation, you can suffer less harm, plant less paranoia in a lonely growth environment, and become a better child, and thus grow into an empathetic adult.
Therefore, "Future Machine City" is a film that is very suitable for "parent-child watching". Not only children will resonate with wheat, but adults should also reflect on themselves after watching them. As a child's companion, can they give children enough and The right protection. "7723" is not just a friend, he plays more like a father's role next to Mai, whose father's love is absent. When Mai is in danger, he will help him to solve it by force. When he sees Mai and his classmates are hostile, he will persuade Mai. Force is not the way to solve all problems. He wants her to learn to reconcile. At the end of the film, Mai The look in his eyes also began to become gentle. As a learning robot, "7723" has gone from "knowing nothing but treating wheat wholeheartedly" to later abandoning its obsession with wheat memory and taking on the important task of saving mankind. It has also experienced some growth. This kind of companionship, like a father-like daughter, has created a character arc between two people.
Personally think this is a very good exploration of domestic animation, which proves that we can not only draw energy from traditional Chinese literary stories, but also extend our imagination to the future. The film is adapted from the original comic book "7723", which is a typical domestic warm story. It is created with special effects that do not lose to Hollywood. It shows a cyberpunk future landscape with a strong sense of industry. The robot walks into the corners of life. Except for the building’s security staff and the school’s tutors who are AI, even the comb, instant noodles and even the toilet are AI. In a society where people are beginning to be alienated, in real life these should be static objects with artificially configured sense of humor to provide a blunt but slightly better human touch. At the same time, it also raised the question that we have been worrying about for the past two years. The profession we are engaged in will one day be replaced by AI. At that time, what should we do? However, the film did not give an answer in this regard. What the characters in the scene are doing for a living, the film does not reflect.
It needs to be admitted that there are still many immature places in "Future Machine City". The story is too straight and young, and the robot settings cannot withstand scrutiny. And bad), some lines are also a bit out of fashion (like the recurring "I cover you", I always feel that people rarely say that now), but this evaluation is a bit harsh, because it is limited by language, In fact, I don't know what level the lines of Hollywood cartoons are at.
Although "Future Machine City" is not a perfect movie, it is still a moving fairy tale. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, you might as well take your children to watch it. Adults may also be impressed. How far the domestic animation can go depends on our support and confidence.
