dc.description.abstractThe symbiosis between man and technology is obvious in the robot who is the main character of the movie Bicentennial Man, adapted in 1999 from Isaac Asimov's short story bearing the same title. The humanist search of Asimov's robot (further strengthened in the movie by the imaginative power of computerized graphic creation) meets a new generation of science-fiction fans and embodies once more the old, but always effective marriage between Hollywood and the myth of Frankenstein. The robot, in his progressive disentanglement from his condition as an artificial creature, talks to us about what it means to be human and what creates the identity of a person.en
dc.description.abstractLa symbiose entre l'homme et la technologie est évidente dans le robot protagoniste du film Bicentennial Man, tiré en 1999 de la nouvelle homonyme de Isaac Asimov. La recherche humaniste du robot asimovien (qui est ici ultérieurement renforcée par la puissance fantasmatique de la création graphique par ordinateur) fait la rencontre d'une nouvelle génération de fans de science-fiction et incarne une fois de plus l'union, datée mais toujours efficace, entre Hollywood et le mythe de Frankenstein. Le robot, en s'éloignant progressivement de sa condition de créature artificielle, nous parle de ce que cela signifie d'être un humain et de ce qui forme l'identité de la personne.fr
dc.description.abstractLa simbiosi uomo-tecnologia si incarna nel robot protagonista di L'uomo bicentenario film del 1999 tratto dall'omonimo racconto di Isaac Asimov. La ricerca umanistica del robot asimoviano (qui rinvigorita dalla potenza fantasmatica della computer grafica) incontra una nuova generazione di fruitori di fantascienza e rippresenta l'ormai decennale e sempre felice connubio tra Hollywood e il mito del Frankenstein. Affrancandosi progressivamente dalla sua condizione di creatura artificiale, il robot ci racconta qualcosa sull'umano e sulla formazione dell'identitˆ.it
