language references in this content
Well this film shows the ethics
usage of AI is wrong: briefly;
basically in this futuristic world, but let's be honest with one another, if
we're not careful it will be our future; where this robot creator Deon Wilson
[Dev Patel:] he is a worker/programmer for Tetravaal and against the wishes of
the company he gives Number22/Chappie [Voiced by: Sharlto Copley:] he is a broken
down police robot that has a limited life span, that has now been given the
program of essentially eventually independent thought, starting from infancy
and on top of that emotions and feelings so in essence he becomes a sentence
being, so this is his story.
Generally speaking: storyline/script and character developments; this
entire section/entire film has aged like milk; it really has based on the
concept of where we are now with AI and even back then of 2015 with this movie
this entire script very crassly shows why AI by and large is a bad idea and yes
I have seen better film like Bicentennial Man 1999 movie starring Robin
Williams as Andrew Martin: that in a nutshell goes from being android over many
years and then being human, but in this case with Chappie; as soon as he
understands and becomes for all intents and purposes cognitively aware he is a
being, consequently the ageing process becomes a factor meaning; if he believes
he is a sentient being experiencing fear, hatred and anger, consequently child
abuse, torture, dismemberment and everything else becomes a massive problem;
because it opens the door to rights and privileges as well as a being and not
forgetting that including being set on fire, because we as humans learn to deal
with things such as emotions over many years in short called growing, but in
this film we are expecting a machine to grow up in such a small amount of time
around people that want to screw its head up and yes I am including his maker
and the ones that want to harm him.
This
is such an ugly and uncomfortable film to watch, where this mechanical being
essentially shows us that AI, should never and I repeat never get to this level
of understanding including but not limited to also including the great debate
about abortions where for me especially people in the US need to get their head
around this; abortions are to get rid of cells in the body and up to a certain
point there is no life, you may be thinking what does that have to do with this
film? Now if you are not brain cells to understand in theory we are talking
about Chappie/potentially a unwanted baby being essentially screwed up by a
vast majority of people that should be protected and nurtured from the world he
finds himself in, and for those that have the simplistic mind of abortion are
wrong? Are you going to specifically help with raising a child that isn't yours
and do that every time a child is born... No!... Then shut the hell up! Or are
you going to allow a child to be born to two drug addicts to be abused which on
top of that is more than likely going to have medical issues due to their
parents drug addicts?... No, then again shut the hell up! With possibly the
child in question having medical issues with having quite possibly a miserable
life due to probably being a vegetable.
By
the way just for the record; to keep this crystal clear; I am pro-choice on
this subject matter, but back to this movie as you can read already this film
isn't a pleasant watch to say at the very least, the framework and pacing of
this 120 minutes film is in a strange turn of events very much irrelevant,
because you have all this subject matter going on or being unravelled, that
consequently everything just feel really agonisingly slow and torturous
Art,
character developments and action; 22/Chappie is an excellent design, but also
on the other hand [this is not the only time I will make a reference like
this;] as soon as you make him have traits of human, his pain and suffering
regardless if he is a mechanical robot in his character developments, he is
still a much child so in theory it becomes child abuse... so well done you
ignorant mother fudgers, so obviously and consequently I have no interest in
these generic action sequences; to be broadly honest I have someone got fired
for green lighting this film, usually I would clarify myself by saying, it is
never a good for someone to lose their job, but in this rare occasion I am not
going to be so polite, for all I care they can join the unemployment line with
this.
Character
developments, performances and voice performances; minus everything I have
already said about the character developments and what is left is the generic
poor excuse for character developments and likewise performances, the only one
that in my opinion can walk away from the project/dumpster fire with their head
held high is Sharlto Copley voice of: Number 22/Chappie, he by far gives this lead
character a three-dimensional being which is excellent for him, but I do
realise on the other hand it also opens the door to everything else that we
have been discussing in this content, which I am not criticising Copley for
that, I am quite clearly just pointing out it just drills home slightly a bit
more than what it already does with a very disgusting and likewise
uncomfortable impact.
This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; as I have made it abundantly
clear by now, I despise this film with a passion and furthermore I am
absolutely delighted that the sequel and any future project/projects were
scrapped. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 3
