So this metal being who looks like a robot and talks like a robot shows up on your doorstep and your first assumption is that it's an alien? I never got that part of the film. Was Stephanie obsessed with aliens or was she just not very bright?
shareShe was just not that bright.
It's that man again!!
What would you expect from a woman who turns her home into a zoo?
She was an idiot. That characater is truly awful.
shareHow many "normal" robots just turn up in your back garden, also ones that you can have a conversation with, and it learns and act's well er "alive" because he is, you could just as easily say why wouldn't see think it was an alien.
sharePeople think about forms and physical side too much.
Who says Number 5 - or rather, the soul inhabiting the robot body - is NOT an 'alien' (as you so insultingly call it - I'd rather talk about 'Extra-Terrestrials' or 'Otherplanetary Visitors')?
It (I'll just use 'he', although a robot has no gender, and neither does a soul) did not come from Nova, he did not come from wires and metal. He did not come from a factory.
He came from the astral world, carried by a lightning bolt. Yes, the lightning bolt acted as a carrier for the soul - usually incarnation happens differently, through 'silver cord' attachment, chakra development and a long 'testing period', during which a soul can visit the fetus every now and then during the developmental phase, to get used to it and its functions, and the soul can then decide at the last moment (first breath is when the silver cord is attached), whether to incarnate into this particular body or not.
In Number 5's case, none of this was done (so in real life, incarnation couldn't really happen this way, and would be implausible to happen to a robotic body that has no chakras or support for a silver cord-based life and sleep systems, where the cord keeps the astral body attached to the physical body while sleeping, so it comes back a bit before waking up), but in any case, incarnation DID happen.
The movie shows us it happening as a result of a lightning bolt (and we know lightning bolts aren't sentient, and definitely can't create life (life can never be created or destroyed, as it's energy) so a soul must've travelled within that lightning bolt and incarnated into the robot body), and it yet explains it being 'just as any other life' ("You're alive, I'm alive, who the h knows how it happens"
Therefore, the movie itself explains that this is indeed a soul that is alive that has come to inhabit this robotic body. Who knows, the same exact soul that's living in the robot in the movie, could've been living in an organic bipedal form in a previous incarnation.
This char limit kinda ate almost half my post without telling me, so they've made it worse, instead of fixing this annoying problem. How are you supposed to discuss if there's no room to type?
Anyway, my point is, that Number 5 definitely came from 'out of this world', (as did we all) and therefore IS 'an alien' (or Extra-Terrestrial).
So anyone thinking Ally's character is stupid or an idiot for thinking Number 5 is an 'alien', should feel a bit ashamed by now.
Well it's not exactly an everyday occurrence for a robot to turn up on your doorstep :)
shareIf he looks like that, it's more likely than saying he was from France.
shareyou're not very bright.
and yo momma was a toaster...
You can't expect a woman to be able to tell the difference between a robot and an alien. Especially when they are emotional. Amiright?
Zing!
