9 points that the Mitchells vs. machines animation reminded us of

Have you ever seen a movie where the heroes just give up?

The Mitchells vs. machines animation recently released by Netflix shows the war between humans and machines. A warning that has been the subject of many films for many years, and many believe that humanity will eventually be destroyed by the uprising of machines. This movie is simply about the power of the family. In the real world, every family has its problems, but that is not all. Every family may have a weakness. We all see weaknesses in our families, and in today's virtual world, we compare our families to families who do not seem to be like us at all. In this article, I want to talk to you about the points that this animation reminds us of in real life.

This article contains spoilers.

1. Our family cannot understand us

Certainly, we have all been challenged in our lives by our family members. They dislike the music we listen to. They dislike our favorite movie. We argue about choosing a field of study and a future job, and in the end, it does not satisfy us with either. In the end, all of these cause us to become alienated and isolated. Just like Katie, we like to run away from home and have our future. Yes, most of us have had this experience, but watch the film to the end to see how we can come together despite all these differences. It is enough for each of us to take a step to the other to get closer to them. Just as easily.

2. Our interests may save us and even save the world

Katie loves movies and loves going to film school. If you're on this page of vocal, you'll probably identify with Katie. We all love some things, but the problems and speed of this world sometimes cause us to stray from our dreams and even forget them. This is the saddest thing in the world that you do not have a goal and it is not something you want to strive for. But do not give up the goal; maybe your goal will save the world. Even if it does not, it saves you. Be sure.

3. A mark will one day destroy the world

Mark is a young inventor who invented the machine as a teenager, and now, at a young age, he is expanding his company and unveiling his advanced robots. You are not familiar with this story? What does it look like with Mark Zuckerberg? Maybe one day all the predictions will come true. Remember that day it warned us in many movies but there was nothing we could do. Some people have more power than most people on Earth. And this is very scary.

4. The power of love in humans

The machine asks man to give me a reason to prove that your race is worth saving? What is your answer? Yes, love. This is probably the only thing that sets us apart from them. So we should be a little more grateful for that. Our love and relationships as human beings are what it is worth fighting for. This is a gift. We should not ignore it. We fall in love. Others fall in love with us and that makes our lives different. Love is what can empower us. Do not ignore its power.

5. In today's world, what happens if Wi-Fi is off?

It is impossible to even imagine a world without Wi-Fi. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine what would change in your life if you did not have Wi-Fi? Certainly, many jobs will be lost. Lives are disrupted. You may think that everything will be like the world before the Internet and human beings will get used to living without it. There is a scene in the film where machines off Wi-Fi disrupt human life. What we see is that someone is looking for a photo to show her food and someone wants to unbox. The film deliberately shows the insignificant part of Wi-Fi. People who are not looking for more important use of Wi-Fi. Why is that? This was an important warning to me. That I have a more important use of the Internet. Wasn't that the philosophy of the Internet? Aren't we going to use technology that makes us and others grow? So let's put aside the less important things.

6. The power of Mother's Love

Linda, the mother of the family, goes to fight with the machines in a part of the film when she sees her children are in danger. It is the love of the mother that gives her the power to fight, and even the worst cannot overcome her. This is a unique love that no dangerous situation can prevent. In another part of the film, when Linda protects two defective robots, those robots call her mother and become emotional. Motherly love can bring family members closer together. It can also make robots human beings, and no apparent elixir is stronger than this.

7. The Perfect family

Linda always regrets the Posey family which is their neighbor. They share beautiful photos on Instagram and are a perfect family. It always upset Linda about why they don't even have a good family photo. This is a dilemma that many of us people today. We compare ourselves with photos and we are disappointed. This is a big problem because it causes a lot of damage. It can cause us to have irreparable psychological situations. It can make us not enjoy what we have and not feel happy about what we have. In the end, the film teaches a moral lesson. "We are real." If our lives differ from others, there seems to be no problem. The important thing is that we enjoy everything we have.

8. Fear of failure

Rick, the father of the family, has failed in the past to pursue his dream. One of the main reasons he opposes his daughter's artistic aspirations is to protect her. He does not want his daughter to fail. But isn't life? If we all learn from our past that we should not fail, then no one will step in to succeed. Such a world is very scary. This film ultimately teaches us not to be afraid of failure and to strive for our dreams even if the world is over. This is a wonderful concept.

9. Penetration of internet and technology

They show the influence of the Internet on modern life in this film. This has both pros and cons. How many children and especially teenagers are involved in it so that they stay away from the family, or the comparison of mother and longing for long life, and of course, a father who strongly opposes these things and tries in different ways. Move his family away from them to have a more intimate community. But its goodness is also expressed. After all, this is inseparable from our lives in today's modern world, so people like Rick try to cope with it with all its difficulties and use it well. Maybe like this movie, the internet will solve our problems.

The last word

at the end, In the words of Katie: "The family has its difficulties, but it is worth fighting for." If you have someone valuable to you, be sure to appreciate the moments you are together. The important thing about the film is that we understand each other's feelings and support each other. This understanding prevents us from falling apart.
