Note: this review was inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions or more specifically, Kilgore Trout’s Now it Can Be Told.

This movie is about the robots that made Walter care. Walter is human who works at college. He doesn’t really do anything. Then two immigrant robots move into his house and things happen and Walter begins to care. Unlike Dwayne Hoover Walter doesn’t try and kill all the robots in the world around him. Maybe he doesn’t know they’re robots. Maybe he would try and destroy them all, like Dwayne Hoover did, if he found out he was the only living person and everyone else in the world was a robot designed to get a reaction out of him. Instead of destroying all these robots he plays a drum. One of the illegal immigrant robots taught him to play the drum. Most robots are bad teachers. Walter had one robot piano teacher that only wanted to buy his piano so he could eat it. Walter isn’t a very good teacher either. There was a very small scene in the movie that was kind of funny.

A robot student tried to turn in his paper late. This robot is very lazy and probably spent the weekend drinking robot alcohol. Maybe he didn’t. This robot said he had to go to a funeral or something. Maybe this is true. I now realize this story isn’t very funny. I will stop telling it.

In the end, the robot that teaches Walter to play drums gets sent back to the factory he came from so it can be disassembled.

Walter keeps playing the drum.
