      Another dystopian movie

      The Canadian film "Level 16" (2018), directed by Danishka Esterhazy (Danishka Esterhazy), starring Katie Douglas, Celina Martin, Sarah Canning Utopian political metaphor.

      A group of girls have been tricked into Vestalis College, a boarding school since they were young. A closed building, without seeing the sun, the sky, the outside world, the outside world, and the time. Monitoring is everywhere. Practitioners are instilled in female virtues similar...

      Looking at the social situation of women from the "seven beauties and seven evils"

      The film's photographic composition and soundtrack are very good. Although it is a thriller with a poor story, there are many loopholes in the character's action logic, but the conceptual theme is really awesome. I feel that this film is an allegory to the situation of women in a society dominated by men.

      The following is a retelling of the plot.

      In a closed "school", the principal buys girls who are not loved by their parents in society since they were...

      Fang Ling Sixteen

      Between three-star and four-star, I feel that 6.0 is a bit low, not to mention a must-see, but at least it is not a loss.

      The narrative is complete, and the plot also has ups and downs. At the same time, whether it is the camera or the music, it can set off the atmosphere. It is still very cool to watch. The key climax is also very impactful (Vivien played well). If it is based on the theme of human trafficking, the director can go a little deeper. The whole film basically tells a...

      Thoughts on LEVEL 16

      The whole movie is quite depressing and has many bugs. The light is dim like an ink film, and I am the one who sees the most. The plot is similar to the brain-changing scene of "Escape from Deadly Town", plagiarizing the obscene part of the imprisoned swallowing pills in "Heartless". But the theme is really great, five-star recommendation! After all, there are not many movies that make me think about writing and watching. Of course, it may be that I am too idle at night.

      Level 16

      The whole film has a good idea, probably mainly because I don’t watch some human trafficking films like everyone in the comments. The whole movie is okay as a suspenseful trend. If you don't go into it, you can see it. There are some details and settings that make people feel a bit problematic. One is to open the door for the card issuance that everyone has criticized, and the other is that the rationality of this organization is very strange in the setting. A human organ trafficking...

      Pseudo-science fiction themes, if it is just to be obedient and have a good face, there is no need for such troublesome steps. A little suspenseful but not exciting, just...

    Evaluation action

    "Level 16" is not a masterpiece from the perspective of the film itself, and even lacks a lot of popularity in many aspects such as scheduling, editing, and art. However, it has intentionally or unconsciously become a retro-style resurgence of dystopian themes. A collection of display scrolls. It is almost a mix of "We" and "Brave New World" in the girly version of "1984", partly reminiscent of Turkey's "Wild Horse", but also...

    Movie quotes

    • Dr. Miro: Nice work, isn't it? By Level 10, they're completely docile.

      Miss Brixil: Oh, like that girl you doped on Level 16? I had to lock her in a box today!

      Dr. Miro: That one... is unusual.

    • Sophia: [as Vivien hugs her] You came after me.

      Vivien: Of course I did. You're my friend.

      Sophia: Can you untie me?

      Vivien: Uh... sure.

      [tries, but it's too tight]

      Vivien: No, I think we have to cut it.

    • Vivien: [to the disbelieving group] This is not... a school. It isn't a prison, no. This is a farm. And they raise us here like sheep.

      Ava: Miss Brixil...

      Vivien: The sponsors do not want to adopt us. All they care about is our skin, and they will take you downstairs and skin you like an animal!

      Ava: You're lying!

      Sophia: Rita is dead! We found her body...

      [sobs:]

      Sophia: they took her face!

      one of the girls: They killed her? Are they gonna kill us too?
