All about technologies and desire

   When talking about robots, the movie that comes out of mind is the T-X in “Terminator 3”. It has all characteristics that contemporary robots are generally have. Usually they are incredibly strong and high-tech, even though they are created by human, they are always more strong and smart than human. Besides this, just as most of contemporary movies or books of robots would like to tell us, the robots in these movies or books are always scary and has huge power of destroying everything including the whole body of mankind and lead to the end of the world. In this movie, T-X is beaten by another robot and the robot did self-destruction as well at the end. The human beings in this movie, or in this kind of movie, is the metaphor that for us who overused high technologies to satisfy the desire inside ourselves, the story will always ends up in a tragedy, no matter it is for money or any other stuff. This brings up the anxiety of human to technologies, because it comes with both opportunities and challenges, which is also the reason that the robot was produced at that time. As human beings with highly smart brain, using technologies properly within the boarder is crucial. This reconfirm the opinion that human has ability to control them because they have high intelligence. But this challenges the old thought that humans are all conquering.

     In contradictory, some contemporary movies of monster are talking about the positive side of them, which related to love, kindness and friendship, such as “Edward Scissorhands”. However, it is till a tragedy, because Edward lives alone forever at the end of the movie. So that overall reflects the basic tone of movies of novels about robots, which is passive.

    Overall, the movies of robots are mostly trying to express the anxiety that technologies are somehow dangerous and hard to use. And never let your desire destroyed yourself or even the world.
