Problems are often recognized and nothing is done to stop them. In other cases, they are interrupted. In Alex Proyas' I, Robot and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, although both demonstrate the theme of emotional disconnection and have a character who does not possess the strong loss of emotion that the other characters have, the characters in Alex Proyas' film show a deeper understanding of the problems that emotional disconnection can cause them and made an effort to stop what was happening. In I, Robot, all the robots were created emotionless except Sonny. Similarly, in Brave New World, Bernard Marx strives to be an individual who understands emotions, rather than living in a world of emotional disconnection. Although the two plots show many similarities, the result of I, Robot was that the robots were deemed unsafe and were stopped, while in Brave New World the humans recognized as individuals were sent away and the system remained the same. same. I, Robot, all robots were programmed to be equal; emotionless and ready to follow the 3 laws. Similarly, the humans in Brave New World were created emotionless and were conditioned to enjoy the work they were given. This is demonstrated when Dr. Spooner tells Sonny, “Robots don't feel fear. They don't feel anything. They're not hungry, they're not sleeping." Dr. Spooner explains to Sonny that robots are simply an imitation of life and do not understand or feel the emotions of a human. Furthermore, Dr. Calvin explains to Dr. Spooner that robots couldn't break the laws by saying, "No, not these laws, they're hardwired into every robot." Dr. Calvin finds it ridiculous for a robot to commit murder, as it would interfere with their p......middle of paper......rld, although both demonstrate the theme of emotional disconnection and have a character that does not possess a loss of emotion, the characters in Alex Proyas' film show a deeper understanding about the problems that emotional disconnection can cause them and made an effort to stop what was happening. The robots in I, Robot and the humans in Brave New World showed emotional disconnection, Sonny and John are both unique and have emotions, and in comparison, the robots were shut down by the government, while those who seemed educated enough to realize the defects of the world state were sent away. Sometimes problems are recognized and yet nothing is done to stop them. Works Cited Huxley, Aldous. Brave New World. London: Chatto & Windus, 1932. Print.I, Robot. Director Alex Proyas. Perf.
