Electroma

Daft Punk post redux. Apparently, Daft Punk has a new feature-length movie, Electroma. Two robots, living in a world of robots, try to become human. I imagine that it's mostly about the music, but the possible metaphors are intriguing. I wonder why they didn't reverse the narrative: two humans trying to become robots. In any case, this is supposed to be the last scene. They fail in their quest. I guess you'd call this neo-sentimental scene "burning robot."
