Film Review: Fear of Bot by P.Milicevic

Futurama presents one of the best cartoons created by Matt G,who became popular for the global known family from Springfield “The Simpsons”. It gives us a sneak preview to our possible future, and also brings up problems facing people nowadays but in a funny, hidden way.
The story begins in the present when an ordinary pizza delivery boy named Fry, a loser who everybody mocks and has no friends, stumbles across a creogenic freezing machine and accidently got trapped which resolved a winter sleep that lasted thousand years. Scared an confused in the beginning, he quickly adapts to the new environment but gets stuck with a similar job- now he delivers packages all over the universe. He teams up with Leela, the beautiful,peaceful kind Cyclopean girl who helps Fry in every situation, and Bender, the depressed robot who used to built suicide pots for robot and now wants to drown his guilt in alcohol and other illegal things.
In this episode we can clearly see the relationship between humans and robots. At a game of blernsball 3000, similar to baseball, Bender freaks out by the fact that only humans are aloud to compete and do all the dirty work. He feels like a little toaster tossed by side with no meaning and purpose in life. His rage got so big that he can't think straight. When they were on a mission to deliver a package to the planet Chapek 9, a junk planet inhabited by killer robots who despise humans with every inch of their mechanical body. Because Bender is the only one allowed to deliver the package he quickly gets “robot napped”. Frightened to death he makes up lies about his hatred towards humans and they soon accept him like a god. His big lies bring him fame and fortune. A dream come true! Everything he ever wanted was in the palm of his hand.
But when the robots capture Fry and Leela and sentences them to death, he realises that he doesn't need all that, that friendship is everything he ever needed.
Everything turns out well in the end. They escape from the planet and successfully delivering the precious cargo which contained lug nuts the robots desired most.
This episode clearly reflects the we have today, what people go trough to get what they want.
Everyone should have a look at Futurama. It's a funny cartoon with a lot of comedy which brings up many questions and makes you want to think about it.
