In the film I Robot, I believe there are many religious footprints stamped on this movie. This movie I feel is not about robots at all but rather what it means to be a human being. At one point in the film, Will Smith says to a robot "You are a clever imitation of life, can a robot write a symphony … can a robot take a blank canvas and turn it into a masterpiece?". The robot counters with another question, "Can you?". The point of this exchange is that it's not to show what a human being is. Rather it shows us what makes us a human and that we are created in the image of God.
With their conscience, the robots in this film start to have feelings and everything else that we see in a human. If a machine can be like a human, then cant people act just like machines? In reality, we are more than just machines, even if the theory of evolution is telling us otherwise. God filled us with ‘"divine spark", which these robots will never possess. We have the characteristics similar to that of God. As I mentioned earlier, we are created in the image and likeness of our one true God. In this film, the robots exist in an area in between technology and human.
