The science fiction film released in 2015 is set in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is said, in the future police robots will form the task of the police to quell crime. However, these robots also have a life limit.
One of the robots that are no longer used is called Chappie, which is then reprogrammed by Deon (Dev Patel). Deon makes Chappie like a human, has a feeling can also think and feel something. In this Chappie film, Blompkamp successfully invited Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver who soared thanks to the film ‘Alien’ and ‘Avatar’.
In addition, there is also an actor who is always present in other Blompkamp films, Sharlto Copley. The South African actor also appeared from ‘District 9’, ‘Elysium’ to the film ‘Chappie’. The difference, in this film Sharlto Copley does not appear in full, but only his voice.
Copley plays Chappie, a robot that is the focus of this film. However, not many people know Copley’s voice, because Copley removes his thick South African accent. In addition to these names, Chappie also stars Slumdog Millionaire and Dev Patel.
Synopsis Chappie
Crime levels skyrocketed, South Africa bought a surveillance squadron from the Tetravaal arms factory. Autonomous Android developed by scientist Deon Wilson. The competing project in the company, Moose, is remotely controlled and developed by the Australian army. Deon was praised for the success of Tetravaal but Vincent became jealous when the police did not want to give the platform.
Deon then created a prototype of artificial intelligence to mimic human thoughts but Tetravaal CEO Michelle Bradley refused to let him test AI against police robots. Deon stole the broken robot and put it in the van. On the way home, Deon kidnaps a gang of gangsters.
Yolandi, Ninja, and America threatened to kill him unless Deon wanted to reprogram police robots to help them steal. Deon installs new software in broken robots, which respond to childlike jitters when turned on. Yolandi and Deon calmed the robot and taught the words and named it Chappie.
