When crime gets too rough and gruesome, it
is beyond the men in uniform to bring the
perpetrators to the law. Where lives can be
lost, it is best to send in a machine which
is invincible. Thus, Robocop was made. The
movie had the interesting premise of a robot
being constructed using the dead body of a
police officer as a framework. The result
proves to be the ideal law enforcer. The interesting
part, however, is that the Robocop is not
as ruthless or violent as other machines invented
for the same purpose. Robocop follows all
directives and is not just a killing mean
machine. The reason for that, as hinted towards
the end of the film, is the part-human nature
that it possesses because of being constructed
on a human framework.
