我的機械人老友



《我的機械人老友》是一個很平鋪直敘的故事,講述主角是一個年紀大,記憶力衰退的獨居老人,兒女無暇照料,送他一部機械人來分擔照顧的工作。主角跟照顧他起居飲食的機械人的關係,起初由抗拒,慢慢接受,到他對機械人建立了友誼。但又因為他老人家闖了禍,要消滅證據,被逼刪除機械人的記憶,跟他的老友依依不捨地道別。


人類就是這樣,身為萬物之靈,其實應該是聰明絕頂,明知機械人只是按本子辦事,但又都對它產生感情,亦因為有了感情,做事變得猶豫不決,非常迂腐。機械人既然無感情,只跟著你輸入的資料程式做事,反而做事爽快,更乾淨利落。


但主角沒有意識到,他跟機械人所謂的感情,其實是他充滿成功感的快樂回憶,對於一個記憶力越來越衰退的老人來說,刪除機械人的記憶就即是刪走他的美好回憶。原來那份感情不是對機械人的,是他自己的。


主角的記憶已經差到連他現在想追的女人,原來就是他自己當年喜歡過的女人,這樣都認不出來,令我想起某某珠寶電視廣告,一對老夫妻,碰巧又是男的老人癡呆(我現在明白為何男人連自己的結婚週年紀念都忘記,應該是天生的),他跟她說:有一天我可能會不記得你,但我不會不記得什麼是愛。

  1. Just saw it on DVD to your point, memory is not necessary reliable. Maybe it is best that let it go. All good things must come to an end and so do bad things as well. Something we just need a little companionship and it could be a pet and in this case a robot.
    [土☆星人回覆07/22/2013 02:42:47]Ronald Reagen was a profound example. A movie star and a president what a great life in any standard but at the end Alzheimer had stripe his memory of all his glory. Maybe we born without memory, and go without any is fitting as we came with nothing and should go without taking anything
    [版主回覆07/21/2013 12:56:56]i agree to the 'letting go' part, no matter good or bad. but memory and companion are two different things, two different topics. It is very sad and insecure to lose your memory in the case of dementia. having a companion doesnt really solve that insecurity problem

  2. 呢套有D悶
    [版主回覆05/15/2013 18:10:30]其實有很多地方值得欣賞,節奏是慢一點

  4. 這部小品算是不過不失 (女角之陣容則可謂「鼎盛」)。人,靠著些能發揮自己專長的工作(或如影片裡的:project) 以存在,才感覺充實且有點滿足感;否則即使腦子清醒,也可能一片虛空呢。
    [版主回覆03/19/2013 21:38:03]說得對。這戲除了存在感,還有其他很有意義的topic. E.g. 女兒堅持不用robots

    [版主回覆02/25/2013 15:22:39]I watched it a month ago, it's no longer showing in hk now. Not that popular in the market.
