Since it is a robot, it will incur no karma. I sometimes think, he is a true karma yogi. He works with detachment for his mission and thus incurs no karma :-D. Even if he is hit with many bullets, he does not care. But he needs to have more love for people. But you can not blame him. That is his programmer's fault :-D.

Full movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6zAoq8tRfI - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.Akshey: A very entertaining sci-fi movie. It seems to be inspired from Hinduism. Morpheus is Krishna. Neo is Arjun. Just like in Gita, Morpheus explains the working of real and unreal world to his Arjun. As taught in spirituality, some rules of the matrix need to be met and some can be broken, by "freeing the mind".

They hit it off and Henry think he's finally found the girl of his dreams until discovering she has short-term memory loss and forgets him the next day.Akshey: This movie is about a young lady who loses her memory every night while sleeping. Every morning she wakes up anew without realizing what happened the whole of the previous day. This happens every single day, month-after-month for a few years. Every day she does the same things- watches the same recorded football match which her brother & father play on the VCR. She watches it thinking it is a live one, but it is a recorded one and it was recorded when it had come live. She paints a wall every day with many beautiful colors. Every night her father paints that wall white so that she can paint that wall again the next day with colors. They would add a little shampoo in her shampoo bottle so that she can't find out the change in the level of the shampoo from the previous day.
