      The hero is so ugly

      I am confused
      1. Why is there no experimental safety system at all? As soon as I came up, that half of the head scared me to pee, and then the male lead and assistant began to experiment with that stuff like an orangutan. They had to be unsuccessful, and then the half of the head ran away. . . . . . I was speechless when I saw this, Nima, what kind of scientist, did not even have the least awareness of safety, and did not bring the safety facilities and did face-to-face experiments with...

      Film review and some afterthoughts

      1. Paul Dawson (Paul Dawson), who first appeared in the film, suffered severe brain damage during the war. The hero implanted a chip into his brain and wanted to test whether the chip repaired his brain. The method used is false belief task (false belief test), the result of the test is that he believes that other people’s ideas are equivalent to his own, and cannot understand or guess the mental state of others, including intentions, expectations, thinking, and beliefs (secondary intentions in...

      A forward-looking film of human science and technology, it is also a prequel film of the history of science fiction.

      First of all, let’s talk about the plot. There are spoilers. In addition, I want to emphasize that the director and screenwriter of this film are the same person. In a sense, this person is a personal traitor. His tendency is obvious. In this film, humans are the opposite characters. The backward species that are about to be eliminated. This is a major premise that must be mentioned in advance.

      The male protagonist (pseudo) Vincent is a scientist...

In order to cure his daughter’s illness, Vincent transferred from a private enterprise to a research institute supported by the Ministry of National Defense, dedicated to transforming soldiers who suffered fatal injuries on the battlefield into intelligent robots with...

      This half is the bottom line, the other half is given to great professional film critics

      Giving this movie a point is the bottom line. Those who talk about China are irrelevant, do you know what cultural invasion is? Do you know what irreversible losses and consequences this cannibalistic gradual infection can cause? You don’t know, because you see that the war between China and Taiwan feels irrelevant, just like someone is insulting your mother, and you think it doesn’t matter when you put the insulting scene on the screen of the movie. The French all know the importance of...
