| Theme | Level | Motivation |
|---|---|---|
| humanoid robot | major | The story revolves around the quest of two humanoid robots to become human. |
| prejudice in society | major | The towns-robots persecuting the two human wannabe robots and driving them out of town is interpretable as an act of machine prejudice against humans. |
| robotic civilization | major | A significant portion of the film is set in a town populated by only robots, which, strangely enough, was otherwise indistinguishable from an idyllic American town. |
| suicide | major | The story culminates with the two human wannabe robots taking their own lives, probably out of despair, although their true motives are left obscure. The silver helmet robot went out via auto-destruct, the gold helmet robot in an act of self-immolation. |
| the desire to be human | major | The story follows two humanoid robots in their quest to become human. Although the film contains no dialogue, their desire to be human is suggested by the license plate of their Ferrari displaying the letters "HUMAN", and also by their sporting of caricature latex masks of human faces around town. |
