      Life is but a dream

      I woke up today and found that Shanghai outside the window looked like Shanghai in code 46 I saw last night. Orange dust was floating in the air, and the sky was shrouded in thick gray clouds. The sun was invisible. It was an apocalyptic scene. Of course, the last days are still a little far away from us, all this is just a sign of the coming heavy rain.

      Another future Iokstar-"Code 46"

      Why did I say "again" because of Zhao Haihong’s good science fiction novel "Iokastar", she is the mother of the legendary tragedy Oedipus, who unfortunately found out that her husband is her own Son's mother. In the novel, cloning technology is used to make the son born by our heroine become her own husband. In the movie, the future of cloning technology is abused, and a rule-Code 46 appears.

      Code 46 They returned the memory to me

      The film I watched earlier, but I have been busy with radio dramas at the time, so I have never recommended it to everyone.

       

        In fact, this is just an extremely simple love story, but it uses the most gorgeous packaging, science fiction.

       

        If all this is something special, it is that future era, the world is divided into "inside" and "outside", "inside" is the city, the community is the crystallization of high-tech, the beauty is paradise, and the...

      What is the most important thing in life?


           I watched "code 46" at night, and the ending was a bit unexpected, so my whole heart seemed to be filled with a sad atmosphere. I watched this film because of most of the scenes in Shanghai: The Bund, Nanjing Road, and Pudong Airport. It's just Shanghai in the lens, which is both familiar and unfamiliar to me. It's as clear and hazy as this film gives me.
           The story takes place in the distant future. At that time, humans lived in cities and most of them were clones. Due to...

      Title translation error

      The basic meaning of code is code, but there is also the meaning of rules. From the content, it should be understood as 46 rules.

      This story takes place in the future. In the future, cloning, genetic technology will be highly developed, and memory technology will also be developed, which can selectively erase part of human memory.

      The development of cloning technology has resulted in the existence of many people with exactly the same genes. The 46 rule means that people with...

      A very literary and slow-paced sci-fi romance. The theme is the classic ethics of clones. It is set as a virus control behavior, isolating cities and slums. The plot is of course an elopement. The soundtrack is very good. The ending is naturally tragic. Mostly filmed in Shanghai....
