      Soul-moving city

      This is a classic black sci-fi Cult film, which tells the story of aliens controlling a human city. The style is dark and has many influences on the later "Matrix". So that doesn't stop me from loving this movie. In real society, thoughts and behaviors that are not understood by ordinary people are...

      The meaning of existence is created by my hands

      The painting style of "Blade Runner" and the plot of "The Truman World" make the story very fascinating. With the addition of the "alien" brain hole, this film can be said to be very sci-fi. The question of aliens about the human soul is precisely the truth that human beings themselves have...

      5 stars for the first 1.5 hours and 2 stars for the next 20 minutes. What a stupid ending, what a powerful mind wave, when the wallpaper is torn apart, you are scared, the -2^198347 of the "absolute perspective vortex" can make people feel scared, then the moment the real universe is really glimpsed What will happen. Fortunately, almost no one has the opportunity to see the universe.

      The sky is the limit! In it, I saw the shadow of "The Matrix" and even "The Truman World". It's a little procrastinated (it may also be the translation of the version I read is wrong), some of the dialogues are a little mentally retarded, and the behavior of the aliens lacks logic. I laughed when I saw Erlang Shen use Turtle Wave in the end..

    Dark City quotes

    • [first lines]

      Dr. Schreber: [voiceover] First there was darkness. Then came the strangers. They were a race as old as time itself. They had mastered the ultimate technology. The ability to alter physical reality by will alone. They called this ability "Tuning". But they were dying. Their civilization was in decline, and so they abandoned their world seeking a cure for their own mortality. Their endless journey brought them to a small, blue world in the farthest corner of the galaxy. Our world. Here they thought they had finally found what they had been searching for. Correction: The word used in the film is "qeuning" not "tuning."
