Exploring Ideas In Alex Proyas's Film I, Robot

In the movie, robots are seen as gifts that exist for the common good of society. Although, Del does not perceive robots as saints that aids lazy humans with their undesirable tasks, they are senseless, cold, emotionless structures that are the creation of man’s absurd idea that a mere piece of metal can replace the beating, living heart of a

Near the end of the movie I, Robot, Sonny, Spooner and Dr. Calvin are all trying to stop V.I.K.I, Sonny is running back to the two, who are being attacked by many NS-5 robots. After retrieving the nanites which will kill V.I.K.I, and effectively put a stop to the robot uprising, Sonny is faced with a tough decision: save Dr. Calvin, or risk her falling to her death to stop V.I.K.I. Spooner says “Save the girl” and Sonny tosses the nanites toward Spooner, relying on him to kill V.I.K.I. and dives to save Calvin. Sonny saving Dr. Calvin shows that a robot with a conscience can make choices based on prioritizing humans over the greater good. Detective Spooner has developed disdain and prejudice against robots due to an unforeseen reason which is revealed to be the reason his whole left arm is robotic.

The author's purpose of this essay is contemplating whether or not laws should be made protecting robots. Throughout the essay he uses evidence from scientists who have dones tests, and it shows how people act.

This movie ‘Irobot’ is based in the year 2035 where humans are all depending on the robots for every little thing. This is the time when technology is so far ahead that people use fancy new cars and robots work for them. The main protagonist is Spooner who is a city cop who hates robot for not being human and he never trusts them as he had a incident with one where a robot saved him instead of a small girl drowning along her. The robots have three rules coded into their system which are there to ensure the survival of humans and they call it the three laws of robotics. This film was directed by Alex Proyas who is known for his photographic techniques in his films, with dark overtones which are usually in a post-apocalyptic setting and produced by John Davis, Topher Dow,

The significance of the aforementioned dreams changes the overall outcome of future events that will transpire. For example, in Of Mice and Men, George is very cautious with his plans, as seen in “George was on guard immediately. ‘S’pose I do,’ he said. ‘What’s that to you?’ and “George said quickly, ‘Don’t tell nobody about

“ I think that dreams are a way that people's minds illustrate the nature of their problems. Or even illustrate the answers to their problems in symbolic dreams.” This is from Stephen King in the article “The Symbolic Language of Dream.” Dreams shows the individual unconscious and being to glimpse one's deepest desires and problems that are happening in their life. There are certain symbols that have meaning to them.

Dreams, one of the many dimensions in our mind, gives a lot of different information then we are use to having in the day. The subconscious mind that takes control when we sleep, takes care of our passive memories and holds the key to our lives. Dreams are what lead us to this key which unlocks the door to another type of wisdom. The farther we get

The future world of I, Robot is introduced to the audience through the eyes of Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith). Before he experienced a tragedy, he used to be a normal person, but now he seems to be

Dreams... are truly made of you. They show your deepest fears and wildest moments ... maybe even things from the future.

Isaac Asimov thrills the reader with his story-telling ability in "I, Robot".  Of course, many of Asimov's ideas provide a ploy to add suspense to the story.  However, when the plot completely disagree with the laws which he himself has written, the story becomes confusing.  On the surface, it appears that his stories make legitimate and logical sense, as well as entertaining the audience in a magnificent way.  However, any deeper analysis of the story will prove that there are several significant flaws in the work.  This can best be shown in one of Asimov's earlier stories, "Reason."  In this story, the first and second of the three laws of robotics are broken.  It is never explained how it would be

To many people, dreams are the thoughts that occur while sleeping, having almost mystic qualities. For millennia the significance of dreams has escaped even the brightest of philosophers and intellectuals. Many people have speculated about why people dream and what meanings the dreams have but in recent times two theories have gained credibility in answering those questions. The first theory is Sigmund Freuds and the other is known as the cognitive theory of dreams also known as biological determinism.

Dreams have many important aspects to them, especially in American Literature. I believe one of the most important characteristics dreams possess is its power to make a character more relatable. In Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the narrator becomes more relatable with her dream of getting rid of the wallpaper. She becomes more and more like the wallpaper as each day passes. She eventually had enough, and ripped the wallpaper directly of the wall. This is relatable in the sense that many people get overwhelmed with a situation and eventually have enough of it. We become psychotic and a completely different person. With the

The film Treasure Planet has a key robot character. He is old rusty, left behind and has gone mad. Traits similar to that of our robot character.

Dreams have been around since the beginning of time. There is often controversy over whether or not dreams are important or meaningless. Although many people believe that dreams are pointless and have no meanings to them, research and experimentation show that there can be many different interpretations of dreams.

After watching the movie I, Robot, I find that many ethical issues come about from the technology shown in the movie. The movie takes place in 2035 and is about robots that are programmed with Three Laws: First Law-A robot must never harm a human being or, through inaction, allow any harm to come to a human; Second Law-A robot must obey the orders given to them by human beings, except where such orders violate the First Law; Third Law- A robot must protect its own existence unless this violates the First or Second Laws. Humans use these robots to do common tasks for them. Some of the ethical questions arisen from this movie include do robots have the ability to make emotional or ethical decision, are they entitled to the same rights as
