This film has a deep relationship with the Japanese comic "Evangelion". For this aspect, you can refer to "City Pictorial" in the second half of October 2008. The Evangelion Code" article.
Aside from the comic background and mission of this robot girlfriend, this film also has such a proposition: the question of whether human beings can control their own destiny at the operational level. A clear line of this film is that the old Jiro sent the female robot played by Haruka Ayase back to November 22, 2008, and began to correct the fate of Jiro after this particular day, filling the "black hole" of history: event one, in Jiro's birthday dinner to prevent him from being shot; Incident 2, rescue the little boy who was almost hit by a truck in front of the fast food restaurant where Jiro worked; Incident 3, rescue the elementary school student of the football club in the fire; Incident 4, persuade and lead Jiro Back to the hometown of childhood, I did a time travel; event five, rescued the girls' school teacher and students who were besieged by perverted killers; event six, also the climax of the film, in the 2008 Tokyo earthquake (hypothetical) body. Shoujiro rescued Jiro from danger. Without Haruka Ayase (actually, in the movie, this robot girlfriend does not have a name, but only a code name - model 103), Jiro is just an ordinary or even miserable young man. In real life, in the face of the power of this eternal proposition, we cannot expect the rehearsal of life, but can only downplay the impact of the event itself on us in time. However, we always expect miracles in life, there are some flashes of supernatural energy that can save us or be controlled by ourselves, so that we can master destiny, and even rewrite and rewrite destiny itself. When those hopes were shattered in a mermaid-turned-bubble, some of us turned to religion on a spiritual level. In this sense, Guo Zairong borrowed Jiro's hand to give us a space for imagination. In such an era where information is the main factor and belief is lacking, it provides us with another form of control over destiny - the future The me saves the me now by sending a robot through the time tunnel. Compared with other sci-fi films that completely rely on external human forces (such as Ultraman, Spider-Man, ghosts, etc.) when dealing with the proposition of "man and fate", this method of still entrusting fate to "me" is more effective. It can arouse people's perception of their own existence and the exploration of their own energy potential.
It is true that when Aya confessed "I can feel your heartbeat" to Jiro during the earthquake, Guo Zairong once again moved the audience with love, but Ayase Haruka's emotion is actually for her "birth father"—— Future Jiro's loyalty, this emotional essence is more like the relationship between master and servant. From the computer's point of view (perhaps even more impersonal), this is just the inevitable output response of the robot to the programmer's input, which is confirmed in the scene where Jiro tries to make her jealous and kisses other girls but fails. So in this way, the robot girlfriend is just a tool used by Jiro to find a sense of self-existence and save his own destiny. Thus, Ayase Haruka was dissolved in such a cycle of self-existence. But when Jiro braved the rubble of the earthquake and the danger of aftershocks, he struggled to dig out Aya, who had been decapitated, and the proposition of love came to the fore—Jiro at the age of 21 was different from Jiro at the age of 61. In getting along day and night, I have developed a deep dependence and affection for Aya, even if it is a fetish, this kind of feeling is undoubtedly "love", and I got it in the rain and the mournful cries. Sublimation, also got the final outbreak.
Of course, what is gratifying is that at the end, the real-life robot girlfriend gave the grief-stricken Jiro a familiar and sweet smile across 125 years - suddenly, they are the true love couple! (It's a bit "Pygmalion effect" here)
The surreal storyline is set in the real 2008 scene (similar earthquake is probably just a coincidence, because the film will be released in Japan on May 30th ) - At the end, I sighed out a sentence from my very stuffy chest: Can I change my fate without a robot girlfriend?
