开门揖盗

供职于科技公司KineTech的艾伦（大卫·艾根伯格 David Eigenberg 饰）潜心开发出超级自动化机器人史宾（Jae Head 配音）。史宾能够清楚感知人类情感，并逐步形成自己的人格。原指望将其用作和平用途，谁知KineTech的老板内尔斯·波特（Kim Coates 饰）却试图将其打造成破坏力巨大的杀伤性武器。极力反对的艾伦遭到解雇，他趁乱销毁电脑中的设计资料，并带着史宾逃亡。危难之际，他命令史宾独自逃走。不幸中弹的史宾意外结识了热爱科技和小发明的少年汉瑞（鲍比·科尔曼 Bobby Coleman 饰）。 两个调皮搞怪的小家伙见面，开启了一段令人铭记于心的友谊。而野心勃勃的波特仍未放弃对史宾的追踪……。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
