It is conceivable that in the near future, AI artificial intelligence and robots will be combined to become an indispensable helper for human beings. But at the same time, in a society with continuous development of science and technology, we may still be trapped in the classical quagmire of chasing scientific and technological products, not keeping up with the times and being alienated, and family and friendship conflicts. "Heavenly Soldier Ah Rong" is exactly such a children's comedy, a fairy tale of human nature in the world of science and technology.
Behind the innocent and cute robots and the rich troubles of teenagers, there is a delicate and ingenious "cyberpunk" situation that shakes the small world of the protagonist's home and school.
Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction in which people enjoy high technology but generally live low-quality lives, and the entire social order is controlled by organizations that provide the world's mainstream technology. The world of "Heavenly Soldier Arong" has been rewritten by the "Bubble Company", subverting the old civilization of the past, and no one can resist such a development.
The CEO of Bubble Company raised a call at the product launch and unveiled the "B Treasure" robot, which after binding the user, can automatically learn everything about the user in the social network, including interests, personality, activities, interpersonal relationships, potential abilities, etc., and then imitate your best friend, "become the person who knows you best in the world." More importantly, B treasure will replace people's "face-to-face dating" slowly familiar form, through the B treasure medium, it will automatically help you match on the network, find the right new friends.
The birth of B treasure is the "singularity" of technology, just like the "metacosm", if the event is realized, the things that have been used to the past will be quickly subverted, and human beings will produce a new civilization, just like the emergence of steam engines, the emergence of electricity, and the emergence of the Internet network.
Barney, the human protagonist of "Heavenly Soldier Arong", is encountering the birth of this event and pulling with the old civilization in the new civilization society. The most interesting thing is that Barney's teacher, seeing that Barney without B's treasure can't make friends, forces Barney to sit on the bench on the playground together after class; in the old civilization, there will always be people trying to sit next to each other and chat, but in the new order civilization, doing so is a strange coffee, which makes peers laugh.
Of course, Barney finally got a B treasure under the care of his family, but this B treasure is a faulty product, can not connect to the Internet, almost can not play its original function for dating, and the system function is missing, not only lack of security, the basic language understanding and communication is also somewhat blunt and do not know how to adapt, into a "very personality" robot, Barney called it "ARong".
Ah Rong will not only break the rules to beat people, but also create trouble everywhere, its existence caused a commotion, and the Bubble Company went all out to hunt down Ah Rong and destroy it. However, with the ups and downs of the interaction between Barney and Arjung, Barney develops a friendship with Arjung and has to flee with Arjung, and Arjung gradually adjusts his broken code and learns the concept of "friend" that Barney taught him through logical definitions.
With the ups and downs of interaction between Barney and Arong, Barney develops a friendship with Arong.
The technology product B treasure replaces the tediousness of real dating, allowing people to efficiently find the right object. But for Barney, dating is not a "match" of suitability, but a mutual "choice" between the two sides, and anyone has the right to accept or reject the other, which is a two-way street. He also told Ah Rong this truth, and Ah Rong also left his friendship with Barney for a while, and finally chose to come back.
Barney's young plum bamboo horses, after going to school and becoming classmates, gradually drifted away, and even mischievously bullied Barney; but these young plum bamboo horses, after being made by Ah Rong and the reputation of the Internet community, saw Barney fleeing from the pursuit and was killed in the forest, still soberly understood the old friendship with Barney, and the two sides later "chose" to continue to help each other. They maintain the intrinsic goodness of children and are not carried away by the new civilization.
The father and grandmother who care about Barney have the usual clumsiness in family interactions, they do not understand Barney's heart, with the ideas and prejudices of the old civilization, but they can still see the frustration and interpersonal difficulties behind Barney, and help through various actions (of course, help), and finally convince him to get Tai B treasure to him.
However, Dad can't understand why Barney didn't share the problem with him, and even in the bubble company hunt, Barney disappeared alone with Ah Rong without any explanation. In Grandma's traditional understanding, this is a two-way concern, and Grandma told Dad, "Sometimes, children protect adults."
It is worth mentioning that "Tianbing Ah Rong" is completely presented from the perspective of a child, in the relationship between parent and child, teacher and student, there is no deliberate balance of adults' heads, but more ink on the small world of children; in such a story, we do not have to think differently, as long as we feel the feelings of children.
Bubble's CEO, both in terms of image and product stage, is clearly mocking the real Cook; he is only concerned with making money, even regardless of user privacy, disguised in front of shareholders and consumers as some kind of "technology for the benefit of society" funny appearance.
In contrast, the developer of the original program designed by B Bao is quite enthusiastic and sincere, and he sincerely hopes to create the best friends through technology and solve the dilemma of children's interpersonal communication in the past world.
He discovered that Ah Rong had a code performance that he had not written, making Ah Rong "more like a friend", and later learned that Ah Rong's code was a conceptual network of Barney's "Post-it Note Teaching" connected to each other, so he was amazed. The way Ah Rong interacts with Barney is the original intention he originally embraced to develop B treasure. Later, he joined the ranks of saving Ah Rong, and even invaded the headquarters of the Bubble Company as a terrorist, and his eyes shone brightly to cover all of Ah Rong's code.
What I found very special about this movie is that only the dubbed version Chinese released in Yilan, usually I choose the original sound, so that I can feel the taste that the original work tries to convey. However, this time, the middle of "Tianbing Arong" is very exquisite, whether it is laughter, atmosphere, can accurately express the translated lines and character emotions, but unfortunately, there is no Chinese voice actor list on the Internet at present; I hope that one day, the poster and trailer of the movie can be promoted with the names of excellent Chinese voice actors and voice directors.
"Sky Soldier Arong" tells the story of cyberpunk mischief in defending friendship despite his own dangers, and the courage of friends and family in the story to be willing to make enemies of the new order tries to convey and encourage us:
"The inherently unchanging good nature of human beings will not be cherished because of the turning points of technology upside down."
Although we are all imperfect like Ah Rong, in this imperfect flaw, there is often a treasure between our sincere intentions.
