iRobot

In the film, I, Robot, humans live in a world where robots and other forms of machinery possess absolute power over them. Humans are forced to live according to the laws enforced by the robots. Robots establish curfews for the humans and they become prisoners in their own homes and offices. The film shows the struggle for equality and power the humans face.

Never did anyone imagine humans would be controlled by robots. The writer of this film creates a society where the unexpected happens. The superior human race finally falls to a rising, powerful robotic race. In the film, the theme of inequality appears; the humans are mere slaves for the robots. Many people say that "histoy repeats itself" and the writer of this film supports this idea through his work of art. In America's early history, white landowners had African slaves who they controlled by setting curfews and educational limits. In I, Robot, history is a cycle and there are once again slaves in America.

Usually writers write about the future to raise awareness in the present. In this specific film, the writer is trying to say that the society that we live in is a dystopia. He uses the image of robots controlling humans in order to make the humans realize the wrong things they have done. He uses ourselves as a victim of slavery to get his message across. The people will see that they are being attacked so they will view slavery as a bad thing. The writer wants the people to realize that what they did in earlier years of imprisoning African people was not correct and was a sin.
