回复 :机器人乔尼五号做着与其他机器人，比如终结者、变形金刚、机械战警，完全不同的事。乔尼五号不是想统治地球的机器魔王，也不是任由人类摆布的机器奴隶。他拒绝承认自己是一种物品，甚至机器。他大声宣布“我也是一种生命”，渴望人类接纳他。他努力向人类学习，并在各方面向人类靠近。为此他穿上衣服，还上教堂向神父询问灵魂的奥秘。乔尼五号天真善良，乐于助人，不谙世事，仿佛孩童。他全力帮助设计者本杰明生产玩具，还帮他谈恋爱。这一点也使他特别容易为坏人利用。起初是帮小偷“拿”轿车里的音响，后来是帮奥斯卡“取出”银行金库里的钻石，还被奥斯卡一伙打得半死。但是，当他明白成了坏蛋的帮凶后，他就象所有的人类英雄一样，冒着生命危险，将罪犯逮捕归案。最终乔尼五号也被美国政府所接受，成为一位美国公民。乔尼五号让我们看到人与机器人的另一种关系：朋友。乔尼五号正是人类想要的机器人类型：聪明、善良但外表脆弱。他与人类的关系是平等的，不存在谁奴役谁，谁统治谁的问题，是互相帮助互惠互利的朋友。

回复 :Eric Braeden stars as Dr. Charles Forbin, who has created a supercomputer named Colossus, built solely for the purpose of controlling the nuclear defenses of the Western alliance. It isn't too long after, however, that the Russians announce that they too have built a similar computer for those same purposes on their side--Guardian. And when the two machines begin sharing information at a speed nobody can believe, an attempt is made to disable them.This unfortunately just raises the machines' ire; and in retaliation, they launch their weapons at each other's home nations. The result is a chilling scenario that is potentially becoming all too real these days.COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT was not a big hit at the box office for various reasons. One is that its cast wasn't exactly well known. Another reason is that its ending isn't exactly a happy one. Still a third reason is that Universal had trouble trying to promote it in the wake of the huge success of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The latter reason is obvious: Colossus and Guardian, like HAL in the Kubrick movie, become central characters here. The difference here is that while HAL malfunctions due to a programming conflict, Colossus and Guardian remain all too stable, convinced beyond a doubt that they know how to protect Mankind better than Man himself. As the computers point out: "One inevitable rule is that Mankind is his own worst enemy."Joseph Sargent's direction is efficient, and the special effects work of Albert Whitlock still manages to work despite its obvious age. An overlooked gem in the sci-fi genre, this should be given a revival.
