We've all heard the phrase "be a robot without feelings". In such a language setting, it seems that the robot is only emotionally indifferent, unable to empathize with others' emotions, and has no metal tools for its own emotions. Humans have long described this trait of robots in various films and literary works. However, in other more inspirational works, collaboration, friendship, growth, etc. have become themes, as is the case with the robot boxing sci-fi film "Iron Armored Steel Fist".
The story is set in an era where human boxing matches are banned and replaced by high-tech robot boxing matches run by humans. The protagonist Charlie is a former boxer who once had the halo of the world's top boxer. Since the end of his boxing career, he has turned to the robot boxing arena to continue his passion in another way.
In a robotics competition, he owes $20,000 for his defeat and lives in poverty. After the game, he learned that his ex-girlfriend had passed away, leaving behind an 11-year-old son Max, whom he had never met. In order to buy a more powerful robot, he decided to sell Max to Max's aunt for $100,000. He got what he wanted, buying the once-famous Japanese robot "Noisy Boy" for $50,000. But due to his overconfidence and rusty manipulative skills, "Boy Boy" was defeated. In order to repair the robot, Charlie took Max to a metal recycling yard to collect parts. In a pile of scrap metal, they found an abandoned old-fashioned sparring robot "Adam". As a result, an emotional sublimation between father and son, a technological imaginary story of the friendship between humans and robots, began.
As a sci-fi film, "Iron Armored Steel Fist" does not focus too much on various high-tech works like other classic sci-fi works, but more positively explores a relationship between humans and robots: friendship, mutual assistance, and mutual encouragement. Charlie and Max removed the advantageous parts from the defeated robot, installed them on Adam, and upgraded Adam's voice control system, so that the robot has emotional expression skills and can express self-emotion by manipulating voice. When Adam turned on the voice control system to play music, Max taught Adam to dance. At this time, robots and humans listened to each other's laughter and laughter. Charlie taught Adam a variety of boxing moves, which he could imitate with precision. Humans and robots are both teachers and friends in this situation, and encourage each other. In the end, the three of them won various prizes and honors in the world robot boxing arena.
In fact, the movie endows Adam with many human attributes, and therefore, its existence allows Charlie and Max to gain not only victory, fame, father-son kinship, but more importantly, the establishment of an indestructible intimacy belonging to the three individuals. It is this It is the harmonious and intimate relationship between robots and humans that promotes each other to become stronger in their passionate careers.
With the development of the times, we have been able to be sure that in the future, robots will coexist in this world more closely with human beings and become an inevitability in the development of scientific and technological civilization. As much expectation is given to it, it may have much capability. But this ability fills us with both anticipation and skepticism, fearing that its misuse could pose a threat to humanity. However, instead of carrying the load in the future, it is better to make more efforts to explore the relationship between humans and robots now.
