Science fiction film is a genre which combined scientific and fictional,since the birth of the film,the sci-fi film has always been growing with the development of the film industry.Among them,sci-fi films produced and distributed by Hollywood in the United States have drawn much attention from the audience and academics for their amazing dazzling picture effects and thought-provoking ideas.Among the subtypes of sci-fi movies,the theme of "robot" occupies a crucial position,as a kind of "the other" image that exists in reality world,it has been said that the robot has infiltrated various fields such as science,film and television and even philosophy.In the field of film and television art,thinking about the relationship between robots and human beings,concerns about the fate of robots and humans in the future,and reflection on science and technology have all become the objects of creators' performance,they present the robot culture by all means and launched an in-depth discussion of human civilization.From the origin and development point of view,before the concept of "robot" was created,folk myths and legends already had robot-like artifacts,with a series of early classic science fiction literature has been adapted into a movie,robot images are gradually separated from the limitations of the text and in order to show people in the form of visual.Since then,due to the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology,film and television creators began to combine these two to create a more diverse robot image,then making artistic innovations and achieved a huge market value.There are countless numbers of robot images in Hollywood sci-fi movies,from the intelligence level,human-robot relationship,appearance feather and other dimensions,we can carry out the type of summary and analysis.From an intelligence point of view,it can be divided into not-smart or less intelligent "body-driven robot" and a more intelligent"smart-driven robot",in accordance with the relationship between humans and robots,the latter can be subdivided into "loyal-type robots","public-enemy-type robots" and "God-type robots" which have a great influence on the fate of human beings,under this system,"Intelligence"outweighs the "shape" or the "structure" and becomes the primary dimension for people to recognize and understand the image of a robot.And then,as robots in the image are increasingly intelligent,they are beginning to be transformed from man-made machines to "machine-made human beings"——robots not only have a human form but also have a"personality",they become more and more like people.This kind of human approach is reflected in the movie performance of the robot's body from steel to become the flesh,from humans must be manipulated to have the ability of self-learning and growth as people,and robot's position in the film has also come to the center from the edge.The above changes reflect not only the development of robotics and artificial intelligence technology itself,but also shows some worries about the mode of interpersonal interaction,the mode of human existence and the development of science and technology of civilization on the social level.Looking further,it also embodies the people's deep thinking on the humanity spirit and humanity's noumenon on the cultural leveLFrom this point of view,it is precisely this imagination and portrayal of the future of the human world brought by a robot theme movie,which gives the robotic theme movie the unique charm.
