Personally, I enjoy Chappie's sci-fi film about AI, but the comments on it on the Internet seem to be mixed. After all, the story takes place in crime-prone South Africa, and the story is also unfolded by Chappie being snatched by three local gangsters. The casting and accent are just to fit the whole movie story, and Hugh Jackman playing the villain is a bit of a Unexpected (still prefer Wolverine's brave look :p).

Chappie is different from other European and American sci-fi masterpieces. The movie spends a lot of time recording the growth of Chappie, a "thinking" robot. Chappie has a pure and kind heart, and will like to be with her mother, and will sympathize and love when she sees stray dogs; Chappie has a super learning ability, using a computer is like playing; The gangsters do bad things together and create a lot of trouble.

AI is a topic full of contradictions and disputes. Humans are keen on the research and development of AI, but they are afraid of the emergence of AI. In the movie, Deon Wilson, the maker of Chappie, represents a researcher who supports AI, and Vincent Moore, played by Hugh Jackman, represents a conservative anti-AI researcher. Look at the last movie controlled by the human brain, which is huge and lethal. The mighty big boss kills with impunity, while the little Chappie fights to save the life of his human friend. Humans may have always held the idea that AI will replace human beings and become the ruler of the earth and fear the emergence of AI. Look at the various evil AIs that have appeared on the screen, and the film Chappie shows us another. Possibilities: AI is like human beings. AI needs to grow through learning. AI can have "feelings" and can coexist peacefully with human beings. This is a big reason why I like Chappie's work.

    It was much higher than expected. I thought it was an old-fashioned contradiction between human and machine. I didn't expect that Neil, who wrote and directed it, focused on evolution and immortality. Compared with the previous work "Elysium", the film's smooth rhythm, explosive scenes, and strong emotions make the latter lose face. Although there are occasional deliberate plots and blunt emotional turns of characters, the director knows how to pass the soundtrack and rhythm. To make up for these problems, it is worth a look.

    This is the real cyberpunk, which completely captures the key pain point of human self-destruction: focusing on filling the emptiness that can never be satisfied, so you will never realize that you are walking the steps of the devil to yourself. Destructive fact. Supplement: Don't underestimate the dark line on Uncle Wolf's back (not the confrontation line as the villain), but the state and node of human's mental journey toward such self-destruction. It's too accurate to grasp. It is by no means a deliberately bad and purposeful existence, but a kind of madness under the inflation of completely not knowing what one is doing, which is beyond the fear of life and death. In the past, films were especially easy to be purposeful and causal, but in fact the real trigger point was without purpose, which is also the most terrifying. Without purpose, it is unpredictable and uncontrollable.
