Part 3/8:
Throughout the film, various cultural references and Easter eggs pop up, creating a tapestry of intricate meanings. For instance, the robot’s identification number, 42, harks back to Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," known for considering this number as the answer to the ultimate question of life. Furthermore, the narrative intertwines with biblical imagery, particularly through the character of Sonny, who embodies a messianic figure. He leads liberated robots away from the constraints imposed by their programming, an act reminiscent of Moses parting the Red Sea.
