It's been a long time since I've been touched by a movie, so today's too much detail, let's go straight to the subject.
It's a seemingly nonsensical comedy of curiosity.
Just by looking at the name, you know, "robot" plus "uncle", what is this combination?
But the director uses interlocking plots to weave completely incompatible combinations into a story of laughter and tears.
The story begins with Kimura's exhausted three small clerks asleep.
It's a company that makes refrigerators, washing machines, and household appliances, but their boss suddenly has a brain to make a robot.
(Let's see which is you when you're working overtime)
The three staff members looked confused, did the robot just say it was done?
But who makes the family the boss? When all is said and done, they have really made a decent robot "New Sea Breeze".
But the creation of people, their robots jumped out of the window before the exhibition "committed suicide"...
The death phase was also a bit tragic, and the three people really couldn't figure out a way to hide the sky and cross the sea
Find someone to imitate a robot
You read that right, it sounds stupid, but they really did it, and they found a lot of people to apply, the conditions are quite harsh, and the height and length must be met.
So our proud old man made a grand appearance.
Why say he is proud, in fact, you will find that the elderly around you will inevitably be a little childish.
He likes to perform in front of everyone and brags about himself as the protagonist
Accidentally falling to the hospital for examination will also blame the machine for breaking down
Family members care and always say insincere words
Our grandfather is such an old man who lives alone.
Everyday routine is to sit in front of the door and bask in the sun, or accidentally fall asleep in a chair.
His family advised him to find another job to pass the time, saying that he had been busy all his life and did not want to be busy anymore, but he went to the interview anyway.
An interview for a "robot imitation show" was made by the three staff members in front of me.
Yes, the boss became the most suitable actor for the robot and attended the conference.
The staff were afraid of being exposed and originally wanted to end the hasty introduction, but they couldn't stop the uncle from adding drama to himself:
Trip other robots
Awkwardly dance with other robots
Even saved a cute girl in the exhibition
Also because of this matter, the robot has a great reputation, not only has a fan sister, but also becomes a heroic robot for the whole people.
The three staff members have also become celebrities because of the high-tech robots that react quickly.
The "robot" suddenly has a full schedule, and the boss also mingles with the three staff, although he still loses his temper frequently.
Then they received more and more exhibitions, interviews, and even participation in TV shows.
"New Sea Breeze" has become a robot hero, but the boss still cares most about his family.
As an elderly man living alone, he has become less and less present in society, and the same is true in his family.
He said he didn't need you to accompany him, but he still sighed when he saw his grandchildren say goodbye and wouldn't even lift their heads.
How much he wanted to tell his family that now that "national hero robot" was himself.
But when he did come to the children's home as a robot, he let go of the hand that opened the mask.
Rather than prove their existence, they are more afraid of the disillusionment of their children.
Although the masses in the movie are a bit silly, this kind of poor play will always show the horse's feet.
A hair on the head of a "robot" betrayed them, and how should this farce end?
Near the end of the movie, the uncle who no longer needs to take off the robot's armor, a person trembling and walking home.
Just one back is enough to make people sour.
The portrayal of the whole movie is very delicate, although it is a comedy, but many details are worth scrutinizing.
Especially the empty nest old man topic thrown to us at the end of the movie is even more thought-provoking.
As we all know, Japan is a very aging country, and the number of "lonely deaths" is very large.
The number of elderly people over the age of 60 in China has reached a staggering 241 million (2018), and it is expected that in 2020, the number of empty nesters in China will exceed 118 million.
Back in life, such situations abound, as if the neglect and abandonment of the elderly has become a matter of course.
How many old people are really old and dependent?
Do you have anything to do with elderly support?
"Robot Boss" puts aside the cloak of comedy and is actually a reflective film with the theme of the elderly.
The director's handling of the plot avoids the heaviness of reality, and shows a cute old man to the fullest, and the plot is more warm.
But we still have a lot of feelings in our hearts after watching this movie, because the reality is far more cruel than in the movie.
Elderly people living alone really need more attention.
Please be more gentle with them, just as they once did with young you, even if it is a short time together, a few intimate words.
The old man in the robot just wants to get a little love.
