Science fiction is obviously not the theme of the film, and exploring the relationship between people is the core of the film. As everyone who exists alone, what kind of person each person needs most to accompany, this film is based on this stubborn old man who is addicted to theft and has memory problems as a case, to start associations and discussions. In addition, the old man has been reluctant to erase the memory of the robot. Part of the reason is that as a person with memory problems, he knows the importance of memory to a person. In his opinion, the robot has long been a person, that is, his Existing as a partner, erasing his memory is equivalent to obliterating the existence of the partner.

    The movie does not tend to overly lean in either direction between sensationalism and scientific exploration. This is an advantage and a disadvantage. This makes the movie very popular indeed. The scene where the old family reunites at the end is really touching, but The movie is still wrapped in a sci-fi coat, and the robot has not become an organic part of the plot, as if it can be replaced by a human. Looking at the pattern of a single independent film, this movie is still a must for fans

    The cast is exciting enough, James Marsden of "Westworld", Liv Tyler, actress Susan Sarandon, the male protagonist of "Growing Up Education" and so on. ...very beautiful, when artificial intelligence can reach such heights one day, and will not betray you, but will protect you, even if it is destroyed, it is just as touching, just like the only touching thing in "Blade Runner 2049", It's the scene where the female virtual sacrifices herself.
