The story of "THX 1138" takes place in a totalitarian country in the 25th century. Robert Duvall plays "THX1138", a numbered worker in a factory. In the setting of the film, human beings live in a country with no thoughts or even desires, white everywhere, and orderly. The sexual desire of male citizens is the first to be suppressed. People deprived of happiness are expressed daily by God in procedural language, "I wish you happiness." When THX 1138 is out of balance and has sex with female roommates who fall in love with them, the judges are still watching them behind the screen . The protagonist in the film finally got rid of the chase of the mechanical police, and finally came to the surface like climbing a tower. At this time, a round of red sun was sinking in the west, and he was standing, watching, the subtitles appeared and the whole film was over.

20110612 kyxq George Lucas makes his first test of science fiction. The experimental works are determined by the content of their totalitarian control, the form is minimalism, and the large amount of pure white is impressive. After many years, it is still not obsolete, and it has influenced many sci-fi works since then. Although it was made at a small cost, it was extremely sophisticated in details, especially in the second half, chasing cars, apes, etc. There were not many such scenes in the works of that era.

A great piece of 70's sci-fi, if I wasn't a die-hard Star Wars fan, I'd say it's a great movie beyond Star Wars!
