RoboCop

[rursusferre]

Robocop was about alot more than the whole man/machine thing. That was almost secondary really. The entire movie was a commentary on violence and corporations controlling the interest/lives of people. The Frankenstein's monster story was an important part but the whole freewill thing really wasn't the issue there. It was people being owned, like when they make a point about "total body prosthesis, lose the arm". They don't give a shit about the person, he is just a hunk of meat they own. In the this film they do the exact opposite and basically put his entire body in a suit of armor. In the original you would never have wanted to be robocop. He was a freak. He was a lumbering monster who was holding onto the memory of something he used to be. His own family was scared/disgusted by him. In this movie? I bet we see robocop do some backflips, because he is a robo-ninja. His kid and wife are still hanging around, his wife apparently completely in on what was being done to him from the start. On top of that, it looks like he can just flip his visor to show his "hunky face" whenever he pleases.
