I am going to be very frank about the very first 2 episodes of Mr. Robot we watched during the screening. They were, by far, the most profound and intriguing films I have ever watched. The aftermath was even worse; I spent the entire night pondering about the Mr.Robot and the world we are living in right now. The film portrayed constant conflicts and confusion around what is just. Elliott, using his exceptional hacking skills, help his friends who are always on the losing side. Such good will of his was passed onto an anonymous hackers who plan to take down the Evil Corporate. Evil Corporate is the largest conglomerate in Mr.Robot which the hackers despise. The hackers suggest that the wealth earned by the Evil Corporate should be retrieved and returned to the people. The key point here is that what they are trying to retrieve include debts owed to the Corporate by people. This is essentially a throwback to communism and socialism where wealth is to be redistributed. Who determines if the wealth accumulated by one is just and not just? Similar idea is striking in South Korea as of now. The leftist government, elected last year, seek to implement a-never-seen-before increase in the minimum wage and corporate tax, calling corporate money as dirty and claiming that the lower strata of society should be re-compensated. This is an extremely dangerous ideology in this capitalist world. Life has always been unfair, not only among the human world but among the animal world too. Some lions are born bigger and stronger than the rest. Mr.Robot, nevertheless, made me ponder about the similar thoughts in South Korea.
