      Unexpected ending

      Proof that God exists? How to prove it? When the male protagonist in the film wants to prove his innocence, this question makes him embarrassed.

      When aliens invade the earth, they can not only copy the appearance of the people on earth, but also copy their memories and emotions. How to distinguish them? Is it really just a disemboweled belly?

      Humans have always faced this simple question in knowing themselves: Who am I?

      The film tells you that your own answers are...

      "Impostor"-----based on a true story

      The story takes place near the end of World War II. It was the spring of 1944, the German fascists were losing ground on various battlefields, and it was only a matter of time before the British and American forces attacked the European continent. The German High Command was also closely watching the coming war. In order to confuse the enemy and divert the enemy's attention, the British intelligence agency came up with a way to send someone dressed as the commander of the landing force, General...

      I am the little fan girl of the screenwriter and the heroine

      A seriously underrated movie.

      A film from 17 years ago, I still feel that way. More than ten years ago, there were many classic sci-fi films, which are many times more classic than the current Avengers series. But not many people know.

      Why is this?

      Maybe the world is really going backwards.

      It didn't actually attract me at first, I don't even remember what it said at the beginning, until the male protagonist was forcibly pressed on the table by the company he trusted...

      This is a totalitarian country in a state of war.
      A fart can't prove his innocence and seek the truth in the extreme injustice.

      It's a pity that I finally found out that I was really a replica with free will,
      and I also lived in a life that I didn't know who was being copied around.
      kind? good. Justice not? justice.
      In a series of self-evidence processes, he eventually found himself just a weapon and a mob being used.

      About the ending

      I feel that there are still some small loopholes in the film, but the reversal of the ending is really good, too unexpected. In the final ending, I personally feel that his wife is real, and he is a biochemical person. It is said that the biochemical man has two settings, one is that the target will explode when he sees it, and the other is that he will explode when he sees himself. I personally think that the biochemical man Maya died in the wrecked spaceship after the spacecraft accident,...

      Dick's novels often use a simple concept to create an unsolvable dilemma for the protagonist. This one involves the dilemma of self-awareness. If you cannot prove that you are yourself, then you are not yourself. Although the scene of the film is simple, the creation of the horror atmosphere is still in place. The details of the hospital stealing medicine and the black man at the end saying I don't know if I know him are also more finishing...

      Still a pretty good sci-fi movie. Because I have always remembered Spencer all the time, I have always kept an eye on the fleeing doctor. He didn't know if he was a biochemical person until he finally saw "self". Boom~ Haha, this scene is so...

    Background creation

    The story of this film comes from the short story of the same name published by the late author Philip K. Dick in 1953.

    Evaluation action

    "impostor" was promoted as "the most exciting sci-fi suspense film of the year", but according to professional film critics who have seen the demo, the plot setting of the film, especially the chase scene, lacks the kind of close call in "The Fugitive" , the breathless sense of urgency at key moments, and the suspenseful atmosphere that makes people anxious from beginning to end, in addition to these, some details are unreasonable even...

      Major D.H. Hathaway: [gestures for him to be quiet] So, when we were running in idiot circles, where did we pull troops? Captain Burke?

      Captain Burke: I pulled about a third of my detail from the Projects Site, sir.

      Major D.H. Hathaway: What about the Chancellory?

      Major D.H. Hathaway: Lieutenant Burrows, how many men do we have at the hospital?
