The pursuit of the true self has always been a topic that human beings encounter in exploring human beings themselves. Just as the brain tries to decipher the brain itself, there are many unknowns in the development of human beings and the earth. However, as the environment deteriorates, humans are also committed to protecting their surroundings. A world created by "Robot Story" is the story of human beings searching for a world suitable for their own survival in the case of the depletion of the earth's resources.
At the same time, "Robot Story" also indirectly reflects another question: when only robots are left on the earth, will they awaken to self-awareness, will they perceive love and loneliness?
The awakening of the robot's self-awareness
Human beings have both excitement and anxiety about the development of robots and intelligent AI, and superb artificial intelligence can assist human beings to a certain extent and promote the development and progress of human society. But it also raises the inevitable question of whether, one day, robots will awaken to self-awareness, rebel against human control, and extend the same emotions as humans. In other words, will robots pose a threat to the survival of humans?
The gap between robots and humans is not large, and there is only one difference between the two. In the context of Robot Story, Wali, a dilapidated robot responsible for handling garbage on Earth, awakens to self-awareness. It looks at the mountains of garbage on the earth, watches its companions break down one by one, receives the remaining songs and operas about love through the radio, and begins to feel a kind of loneliness and attachment to love. It can be said that "Robot Story" integrates the awakening of robot self-awareness and the protection of the environment, as well as the attachment and exploration of love, and the thinking brought to the audience is also very profound.
A lonely living environment and an obsession with love
Loneliness and love are two words that are incompatible, but they are accompanied by each other. The lonely living environment will give birth to a person's yearning and attachment to love, yearning for the company of people around him, which is why Wall-E is alone on the earth to clean up garbage for decades, but suddenly developed an attachment to love. It can't understand what the essence of love is, but it feels like its mood is suddenly catalyzed by the music on the radio, and a glimmer of excitement and hope suddenly arises. Any creature in the world has a different attachment to mates and reproduction, because these two are the key to survival.
But sometimes, human persistence and pursuit of love does not revolve around breeding offspring, and there is a romantic emotion hidden in human bones. It is precisely because humans are highly intelligent animals that they are interested in some things other than survival. As the protagonist of "Robot Story", Wall-E is really different, its mission is to help the earth clean up the garbage, and then it has been done without a purpose. At this time, human beings have abandoned the earth, but they cannot find their own place to live in the vast universe, and they can only turn their last eyes to the earth again.
The awakening of the robots
Humans go around the universe and eventually find themselves still inseparable from earth. As soon as evidence of Earth's slow recovery is found, humanity will once again rule the planet. It is with this purpose in mind that the heroine Eva, like Wall-E, has only a mechanized procedure for executing orders. Wall-E is responsible for helping humans clean up their garbage, and Eva is helping humans find evidence of Earth's recovery, even if it is a green shoot.
The manifestation of the awakening of robots can be clearly seen as a kind of resistance to inherent procedures. If a robot no longer does things according to the established program, then the robot has a way of thinking independent of the program, and this self-conscious awakening can also be called the awakening of the robot. When robots awaken, they no longer obey humans and no longer do things according to human requirements, just like the robot Wali who has awakened the consciousness of love and self. Its procedure requires that Wali must follow its own inherent procedures until it decays and shatters, collecting garbage for mankind and the earth, and when his consciousness awakens, he begins to bravely embark on the path of pursuit.
Machine Story is a reflection of the real world
Protecting the environment has always been a persistent topic of human beings, but the task of protecting the environment is heavy and long, and we can't do it overnight, we can only do our best in the future life. "Robot Story" is a reflection of real life, after the human beings have exhausted the resources of the earth, they began to reflect and question themselves, and began to seek ways to return to the earth. After leaving the earth, human beings can only drift in a lonely universe, like a rootless grass, and only by finding their ultimate belonging can they rediscover the meaning of human beings.
Human beings go around in the vast universe, and finally choose to return to the place where they were born, which seems to be an inevitable return of fallen leaves to the roots, and also carries a heavy sense of mission. Ultimately, how humans will deal with Wall-E, which has awakened to independence and self-awareness, also hides many follow-up stories.
summary
"Robot Story" This animation work mainly revolves around the awakening of robots and the reflection on the protection of the environment, when the earth's resources are exhausted, whether future humans will choose to use the method of escaping from the earth to seek a more stable living environment, or let the robot stay on the earth forever, and humans are willing to return to the planet that nurtures us after the robot has officially disposed of the garbage on the earth.
Mankind's pursuit of the vast universe and the protection of the earth are not in conflict. But in the face of the gradual deterioration of the earth's living environment, what kind of methods will human beings use to protect themselves?
