On Optimism

----A brief Comment on the Artificial Intelligence

Abstract:

A.I.Artificial Intelligence, also known as A.I., is a 2001 science fiction drama film directed, produced and co-written by Steven Spielberg.The film’s content was maken up by Brian Aldiss' short story “Super-Toys Last All Summer Long”.Set sometime in the future, A.I.tells the story that David who was, a child-like android uniquely, programmed with the ability to love.The review of the film was “a curious, not always seamless, amalgamation of Kubrick's chilly bleakness and Spielberg's warm-hearted optimism.The film is, in a word, fascinating.Key words: Artificial Intelligenceoptimism

The Artificial Intelligence , A.I.is set in the near future, after the polar ice caps have melted and flooded coastal cities like New York.Highly sophisticated, human-like robots(or ”mechas“)have been developed to perform various tasks for the

much-reduced human population, and now the brilliant Professor Hobby(William Hurt)of Cybertronics Labs has perfected a prototype of a robot boy designed to fill an emotional void for childless couples.A Cybertronics employee, Henry Swinton(Sam Robards), and his wife Monica(Frances O'Connor), whose terminally ill child has been cryogenically frozen, take in the eerily realistic artificial boy, David(Haley Joel Osment), on a trial basis.At first spooked by the ever-smiling robot, Monica is eventually won over and initiates the process of ”imprinting“ the boy with an emotional bond.(It's like flicking an ”on“ switch for love.)The family draws closer until an unexpected miracle occurs: The Swintons' real son Martin(Jake Thomas)is cured and returns home.The bratty Martin exploits his cyber-rival's innocence and lures him into trouble, to the point where Monica is convinced David poses a threat to the family's well being.Monica abandons David in a forest, and the film--which up to now has been a rather hermetic domestic tale--suddenly expands out to the

nightmarish larger world.David, who has been schooled(thanks to a scheming Martin)in the story of Pinocchio, sets out to find the Blue Fairy who can turn him into a real

boy and help him win back his mother's love.But first, David must elude the

cyber-phobic poachers who are rounding up ”mechas“ and destroying them for sport at an arena event called Flesh Fair.The Flesh Fair sequence is but the first of several spectacular episodes in David's odyssey, which also include a visit to a garish, Blade Runner-like urban destination called Rouge City and a journey over the submerged New York.Accompanying David is Gigolo Joe(Jude Law), a strutting ”lover robot“ who becomes his new

protector.Ultimately, David finds his Blue Fairy, but the film takes a radical turn that manages to be simultaneously gloomy and unashamedly emotional.Your response to A.I.will largely depend on your reaction to the whole conceit of a mechanical boy protagonist.If David is ”programmed“ to love, one might ask, why should we care about the fate of this artificial creature? But if you can accept that the character's fixation on his mother's acceptance is taking him beyond himself, creating something spiritual out of his fabricated being, David's odyssey will haunt you.The metaphors for human notions of identity and soul are all there for the pondering in this unusually philosophical studio blockbuster.It is the research and artificial simulation of human thought and eventually be able to make a human like to think the same machine.For human services and to help people solve problems.After all, people thought it was unique, there are feelings, there are a variety of characters, this will be very difficult to achieve in the machine.In fact, to do the same as the human thinking machine, the only one of the artificial intelligence, is by no means all.Through the study of artificial intelligence, can resolve all kinds of scientific problems, and promote the development of other science, the artificial intelligence is the best

AI is about the question, ”What makes us human?“ Can a robot(computer intelligence)ever be human? The boy robot David is created to be fully capable of human characteristics, even love.But he is quickly rejected by his family, and the rest of the story is about his quest to become human so he can regain his mother's acceptance and love.The first twenty minutes of a film, the opening, are critical for engaging the audience.This story has an intriguing story line, great settings, nice special effects, and enough motivation and emotion in the opening, so why doesn't it emotionally engage the audience? Because we don't identify with the struggles of the people involved since there is no continuity of any single character's story.All good science fiction has some human sensitivity in it otherwise it would just be a horror film.The script reflects some of the darkness and coldness that sometimes underlies each character human and machine;there is no fear of this in the story.This darkness draws us on in the story.This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and limits of

scientific hubris, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.Artificial intelligence has been the subject of optimism.A.I.forces us to ponder where we've been and where we might be going.It's an incredible combination of Kubrick's icy intellectual and clinical mind and Spielberg's emotional heart;and I think it works exceedingly well.But it forces the viewer to not leave their heart and brains at the door, which I think is why it is being so negatively received in this season of mindless summer movie fare.It may be too intelligent for its own good, and many don't have the 145 minutes of patience needed for the movie.I did, however;and I would call this an absolute masterpiece.Out of ten stars, give this one a 10.All in all I would say A.I is a wonderfully unique film that should be judged for what it is, a film.Forget everything about the Spielberg/Kubrick ”issue" and just sit back and take in a truely amazing film.You may hate it, you may love it, but no matter what, it will affect your emotions in some way and you will discuss the film afterwards.Bibliography:

Forrest Gump review

Forrest Gump describes a story happened on an idiot called Forrest Gump from the 1950’s to the 1980’s in America.As developed America, as Forrest Gump grew up.Ferrost experienced lots of things of importance in the history of America such as the assassinate of kennnedy, the Vietnam War, the Pingpong Diplomacy

and so on.He became a football star, a war hero, a business boss, and a millionnaire.In our view, he is almost a superman, but he did not notice that.As we all know, the film has received a lot of prizes in the Oscar and the other film festivals.I think it deserves it.Some people think this film is a comedy, but I don’t think so.I consider this film as a rony film.The rony occurred in details and was hidden in humor.I will give an example.Do you think an idiot

could be a war hero? I think it should be impossible.But in Vietnam War, it is.In the other way, if the war was started by the fool, the idiot

deserves the hero.From this point, we can see the against attitude of the public taken to this war.Forrest Gump is also a film that can motivate people.In this

film, Forrest take a special attitude different from almost of us to life.The life of Forrest is not very easy, but no matter what he is going to face next, he always accepted it easily, and try his best to accomplish it.Never in his life, he complain about the unfair of 命運 or lost confident of himself.What he did is just doing his best, which is very simple.In our real life, how many people struggled to get something, but in the end, nothing was left.Why not live as Forrest Gump? Doing best is just okey, but never stop our step forward.When it comes to the script, there is no reason not to say the famous words.‘Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’.It was passed to Forrest by his mother.What wise words it is.The beauty of life is just in the aspect that no one can know what is tommorow like.That is just why I like it.If we all knew what will happen in future, the life must be boring enough.The other fomous script is only one word ‘run’.I think in thisfilm The ‘run’ stand for change.Forrest changed from an idiot

into a success, but there is something that didn’t change.The woman bus driver who took Forrest to school also pick his son

up to school for the first time.I suppose this film deserves us watching it thousands of times.During the progress, we can enjoy the power of one person, the beauty of scenes, be moved by the plot, be influenced by the scripts.Thank you

<<金色池塘>>影評

金色池塘敘述了一位退休的老教授與老伴在新英倫湖畔的度假屋中度假，在平靜的日子里卻面臨年老的各種危機。他的女兒剛離了婚，正處于徘徊的心境。一向關系不佳的兩父女，終于因為十三歲的孫子跟祖父母同居了一段日子而解開了各種心結。影片以人情味方式探討老年問題及代溝。

年老問題。他不想面對自己已經老的事實，因為他心中有一種要強的個性正如年輕時一樣。第一，當他去山里采草莓迷路的時候，他表現的非?？只?。第二，當孫子提到他的年齡時，他會生氣并用言語反擊。第三，即使在妻子面前他也不承認自己老了。他懼怕死亡。最后，心臟病發作時，他看到了妻子的緊張，經過生離死別情景，變得坦然了。

父親與女兒間的代溝問題。在影片中我們看到，父親和女兒其實都很痛苦，都想能夠和對方處好關系。但是他們誰都不想邁出第一步。其實在父母的心里，兒女最重要。也許每天有太多的事情要做，兩代之間缺乏溝通導致兩代之間的隔閡。

這部電影教會我們很多東西。我們應該多陪陪自己的父母，讓他們消除對年老的懼怕。同時可以加強兩代人之間的理解。作為一個子女,我們要學會換位思考問題,多想想自己的父母.《On Golden Pond》 Film critics 《On Golden Pond》describes that a retired elderly professor and his wife were on holidays in New England Lake , and he faced many aging crisis in the quite days.His daughter had just got divorced and she was in a wandering mind.There was always a poor relationship between both father and daughter.As the proverb” Blood is thicker than water.”They united their knot finally because the 13-year old grandchildren lived together with grandparents for some time.The movie discusses the ageing problem and the generation gap.First , the ageing problem.He did not want to face the fact that he had been old, because he had a stronger personality as he was young.First, he went to pick strawberries in the woods and he behaved very panicked when he lost.Second, when his grandson asked his age, he would be angry and fight back.Third, he did not acknowledged that he was old even in front of his wife.He was afraid of death.Finally, when a heart attack, he saw his wife's nervous.Though life to death , he had an open heart.Second ,the generation gap between father and daughter.The father and daughter were in fact very painful.They wanted to get good well each other.But they did not take the first step.In fact, in the parents ' hearts, sons and daughters were the most important.The lacking of communication led to the estrangement between the two generations.This movie teaches us many things.As the proverb “The true value of life lies in not getting but giving.”We should spend more time with our parents, making them to eliminate the fear of old.At the same time ,We need to strengthen the communication with our parents.As a child, we must learn the transposition thinking, thinking more of our parents.The true value of life lies in not getting but giving.Blood is thicker than water.Every heart has its own sorrow.Fact speak louder than words.
