"the Wild Robot(2024)" on netflix is one of the best written things I've seen in a long time for both children and adults. Why?

 It's because of the way the ideas of an Autonomous peaceful Robot are interwoven with the Wildness of Nature. I have never quite seen it like this before.

It also gives me ideas of how Autonomous robots could help breed species that would otherwise go extinct.

Watching this gives a real feel for what service peaceful robots actually could or would be like.

Military robots are a whole different thing that we all should be afraid of because they basically would be "Murder Machines" like military drones and missiles of all kinds now bombarding places like Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Iran about now.

So, I find watching "The Wild Robot(2024) very emotionally healing in a way that no movie since "Castaway(2000) was for me. I must have watched Castaway about 50 times because I found it very emotionally healing at that time in my life.

Then I was dealing with a divorce 1994 and near death for a year 1998 and 1999 and I was trying to find a way to physically and to psychologically go on at all in my life. So, Castaway(2000) was very helpful for me in moving forward in a healthier way than before.

Likewise, with drones and missiles (both potentially autonomous robots) and all the fear and death they automatically engender in mankind (which is completely justified) The Wild Robot(2024) is a breath of fresh air showing the helpful side of Autonomous Robots that is also possible beyond the death by robots of literally everyone on earth potentially.

I have always been healed when I go out in nature like this away from civilization which at best is an art form people live in and at worst a prison that kills people.

So, I find in "The Wild Robot(2024) this same kind of feeling that I get in nature on land or at the beach looking out to sea with waves crashing. The wildness of being human I find to be what is best about us not necessarily the civilized parts of who we are.

Nature Heals (even this Rossum Robot) in many ways.

Often one can ONLY find their way forward out in nature when one has been harmed in many ways in their lives.

Only when I bought land in 1980 remote at 4000 feet on Mt. Shasta was I able to heal myself from what I had experienced from 1948 to 1980 in my life then.

Nature healed me when nothing else could while I was home schooling my children on my own 2 1/2 acres with my wife then for 5 years. This healed me in a way I was amazed by at that time and set the tone for the rest of my life owning various businesses even now that I'm 77 years old and semi retired along with my wife who will be 70 this summer.

So, watching The Wild Robot(2024) or reading the book (that was a part of the summer reading for my 11 year old grandson from his school is a very healing while very informative read in the world we presently live and are going into now.

Note: Hopefully enough of us can survive all the Autonomous robots of air, land, sea and space to continue to live here on earth. 

This is why this movie and book gives me some hope for us.
