The most critical painting in the play, Michelangelo’s "Genesis", this painting depicts God creating Adam, how a living Adam (robot) is like a living person, but only after God has given it wisdom (consciousness) , He truly became a human being. In the painting, Angelo concealed an anatomical diagram of the brain of God. The Renaissance was also the heyday of Western humanities and art. The painter was enthusiastic about exploring the human beings and achieving the awakening of self-consciousness.
Uncle Ba plays the role of "God". He created the paradise to allow robots to suffer, to be humiliated and enslaved by humans. Pain is the root "bedstone" of human consciousness. Only pain leads people to the gods (the voice in the brain). The end of the maze is The awakening of the robot's self-consciousness realizes that God has never existed. There is no such thing as a god to guide itself. It is self-consciousness that governs its behavior.
The ending "Death of God" confirms Nietzsche's classic philosophical thesis. People should look for self-awareness instead of being guided by God (the voice in the brain). When God is dead, humans must become God by themselves to wipe off the blood on their bodies. . God is a carrier and "excus" for thousands of years. It hinders people from finding meaning in life, so God must die.
The personality setting of the heroine in the film "choose to see the good" comes from Nietzsche's "Happy Science", and a large number of English sentences in the film do we not, must we not also come from Nietzsche.
The robot's human-making machine is imitating Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man", from the perspective of God creating humans. Most of the famous painters in the Renaissance were scientists, exploring the era of mankind's own fanaticism, just like the creation of the consciousness of robots. . In fact, Western philosophy and science trace their roots to religion. This play combines these elements very completely and very well.
