Experiencing Interruptions?

Bionic I

A major accident occurs in the bionic laboratory and the famous Dr. Shawn tragically dies in the lab.

The two researchers are on holiday when they suddenly spot a suspicious couple, the girl named Lucia who resembles a bionic man as she is wearing the lab's data glasses. After exchange, the two researchers decide to follow Connor and Layla and investigate the truth of the accident.

Connor takes Lucia into a shop and he soon spots the two researchers following him. Lucia then buys him a gift card, but he is anxious about how to deal with the two researchers. He pretends to be happy to accept the card and threw it into a nearby bin. Later, the leader finds the contents of the card and becomes more convinced of his missing bionic man.

The leader intercepts Layla, while the other researcher is held hostage by Connor. During the standoff, Connor eventually kill Lucia in anger as she is unable to escape the bionic system.

However, the team leader suddenly receives a call from Military Technology, which reveals that the leader was responsible for the accident at the lab, and that he stole the bionic to provide data to Military Technology, and that the stolen bionic is Connor.

Finally, leader does not anticipate that the military technician he speaks to is also a bionic human with an emotional system. The leader is afraid of the rise of artificial intelligence, so he kills the Doctor. However, the bionic men have already infiltrate human society

Director Statement

Bionic I is a sci-fi action film. On the one hand, it illustrates that AI technology is developing faster than everyone imagines, exploring questions such as whether AI will someday develop emotion, and whether this will be allowed by society. On the other hand, the film suggests that human emotions are becoming colder.

Eric wrote ‘Bionic I’ after watching the film ‘I Robot’, he wants people pay more attention to relationships and emotions rather than indulge in the convenience of AI. While AI helps humans do many tasks, everyone still needs real emotions in their lives.

In watching this film, I want the audience to experience how bionic humans generate emotions, and how humans manipulate votes and interests. It will allow the audience to think the relationship between humans and bionics objectively, and be more reasonable deal with the emotions and artificial intelligence in their lives.
