Cyborg,as a character that often appears in science fiction films(sci-fi films),was born in the fusion of technology and human body and people’s exploration of life.With its novel appearance,this kind of character has been favored by sci-fi films and sought after by fans since its birth.This kind of character has two distinct attributes of human and machine at the same time,and this unique image has given us a new perspective of self-observation,and it has also re-engaged people to think about a long-standing question around human: what is the essence of human.The construction of the sci-fi cyborg image is composed of its special visual image and the same emotional shaping as human beings.According to the different ways of dealing with things in the film,it can be divided into ‘reborn’ and ‘escapist’;while the image of other auxiliary characters is built around the protagonist of Cyborg,which can be divided into ‘creator’,‘lover’or ‘partner’,‘disassembler’ and ‘opponent’.These characters present the structure of cyberpunk world and also express the emotions of cyberpunk characters.From the perspective of philosophy and sociology,we can see the differentiation and analysis of the concept of "human" through the type of Cyborg.Cyborg has always maintained the characteristics of man-machine combination in visual image,and has always been constituted as a kind of marginal character dissociated from the society in identity setting.Therefore,in philosophy,emotion and other aspects,the image of Cyborg presents a kind of anxiety about self-identity,and its emotional characteristics will make the audience "sense of identity" when watching films.This in turn triggers the audience’s thinking about the essence of "human" and the situation in modern society.The character design in the script of the author’s graduation creation is also based on this,by constructing the character of the Cyborg image to illustrate the establishment and use of the emotional relationship between human and non-human.Meanwhile,the image is used to promote the plot and attract the audience,so that the audience can establish an emotional identity with Cyborg and reflect on themselves.
