The film Robot and Frank was a blockbuster at Sundance Independent Film Festival in 20 12 because of its unique perspective, and won the special prize of Alfred Si Long. The film, directed by Jake Schreier and starring Frank Langella, was released on 20 12. The film tells all kinds of stories between the old man and the robot in a delicate way, which is both hilarious and touching, and makes the audience wonder whether human beings have gained more or lost more in today's rapid development of science and technology. In the future society, will human beings know themselves more clearly, or will they completely lose themselves?
Veteran Frank Langella plays the leading role of Frank. 1979 He became famous as a vampire in Vampire. A few years ago, he competed for an Oscar for his role in Frost/Nixon (Mr. President, please). He should be nominated again for this film. In the film, Az Harmo's illness did not let Frank go, forcing the old man's memory to decline and he could not take care of himself. His son Hunter james marsden drives ten hours a week in the mountains of New York to take care of his father. Seeing that my father was dying, I bought a robot nurse at a high price.
There are two female characters: Madison (liv tyler), her daughter, passionate and naive. It is an insult to think that you respect your father and hire a robot. She wanders around the world and has little interaction with her father. Another woman is the librarian Jennifer Susan Sarandon, whose job is about to be taken away by the cold online technology. Frank makes excuses for advice every day. When he approached, his eager eyes were fixed on Jennifer, and he was not afraid of being sucked by the sucker. They reminisced about the past and looked through the printed ancient books that were about to be replaced.
Frank resisted the robot at first, but he knew how to defend himself and defend himself. "If you return the goods, I will be sent back to the warehouse for resale." Robots have too many advantages. Frank is wise and must compromise. It is diligent, keeps the house spotless, cooks nutritious meals on time and gives away medicines. Exercise, stay in shape, and take a walk with Frank. It also arranges organic gardens, grows fruits and vegetables, and sprinkles water. He is quiet, reasonable, calm-tempered, and stable in pronunciation, and can persuade Frank to obey.
Frank used to be a jewel thief, but after washing his hands, he was often amused. Occasionally, it is found that robots will also polish unlocked drills, and they will correct them faster. He had a brainwave, and planned to return to the Jianghu and teach the arrogant and snobbish rich man a lesson. He wanted to destroy the series. Of course, you need a new partner robot as an assistant to get twice the result with half the effort. The funny thing is that "VGC-60L" may recite six laws, but it can't tell the crime: once, Frank evaded suspicion in the library and put the stolen book down at will, and the robot would misunderstand and kindly help bring the "forgotten book" home.
This film is close to the style of O 'Henry (1862–1910), which is humorous, witty and cynical. Screenwriters are good at taking the "villain" as the protagonist and not playing cards according to the cards. Instead, the audience agrees with the thoughts and behaviors of the "bad guys". Is the meaning of "labor" and the status of servants and prisoners only "dominant" and "passive"? The most unforgettable thing is that "VGC-60L" has been programmed for a long time. It "protected" the employer, and its "memory" was completely erased. It returned to the body and lacked the prototype of "content". Finally, I have a film that doesn't mix old age and bitter water. The ending exposed Jennifer's true identity, which made people suddenly realize. It turns out that Frank is not a bachelor who has been divorced for 30 years. The two old people seem to know each other, and both seem to think that the other is the dream lover, and there are special factors behind it.
Part II: A Few Reports
The Minority Report, directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film with its luxurious lineup and endless brain holes. In 2054, people found three "prophets" and established a crime prevention center on this basis. The so-called crime prevention center is to control the perpetrators before committing crimes.
And all this is done around three "prophets". People used anesthetics to make the three "prophets" half asleep, so that they could only predict murder. Since the establishment of the Center for Crime Prevention six years ago, there has not been a single murder in Washington, DC, and even the incidence of murder has dropped significantly. But the Prophet is a human being after all, and the behavior of the Center for Crime Prevention in imprisoning the Prophet has been criticized by the American Humanitarian Committee.
They sent FBI agent Vito to look for loopholes and tried to dissolve the crime prevention center. In the film, Wei Tuo said: "Power is no longer the Oracle itself, but sacrifice. They even forged the Oracle." Knowing that the crime prevention system was perfect, Vito pointed the finger at John, director of the Crime Prevention Center.
John used to have a happy family, but the unexpected disappearance of his son Sean led to his divorce from his wife. He indulged in past memories by drugs every day after work. By chance, John was alone with three prophets. Agatha, the only female "prophet", got rid of the control of drugs and hugged John, showing him a vague image. According to this video, John discovered the defects of the crime prevention system.
