      Short comment: Paul van Hoeven’s sci-fi film made up

      1. When I saw more than half of it, I felt like ordinary Hollywood routines were put on the skin of a b-level film, but at the end I was shocked. There were three big reversals. When I pretended to be a doctor and told him that it was all dreams, it was evil. When the boss tells him his true identity, and when he concludes that they are really worried that this is just a dream. Whether it is interpreted as a dream or "implanted memory" defeats the real body, it is very powerful. There are many...

      Really dream

      As a sci-fi action movie that reflects the future world, "Total Memories" is quite successful. The cast is strong, the plot is unconventional, the action scenes are hot, and the plot is thrilling and compact. These are the highlights of the film. The director has an excellent grasp of the action scenes, and the set art and other links are of the same level as Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" and Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report". The selection and performance of the actors are also in...

      Look at it for the second time, remember what you feel

      I admire some of the technological ideas in the movie. For example, in the future, people will not need to travel in person, but instead of traveling by implanting memories that are indistinguishable from authenticity. This not only saves time and money, but also experiences traveling in real life. It may not be an Aventure that you can really experience in China, not to mention that the target of the Aventure can be set according to your own preferences, just like the movie said, no...

      Universe Veyron

      It's a very early movie, the whole film is a bit bloody, the blood, the death, it is a bit unacceptable.
      Sometimes it's too hideous,
      but it's always quite troubling, and even a little bit of doubt in the middle, is it a dream? The next turning point is also, I didn't expect it to be just a big conspiracy, no wonder it has not been the best way to kill him, but also to protect him.
      Is the taxi very good? Is it fun? It
      's terrible to break down. Use his mercy to kill him in...

      What can I believe?

      1.

      What type of cyberpunk "Total Memories" belongs to?

      This kind of dirty streets, low-level life, deformed humans, and the setting of the future world is called Cyberpunk.

      It is said that the inspiration of cyberpunk comes from Tokyo and Hong Kong-the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, the chaotic fusion of classical and modern, which expresses the bottom life of the future.

      A more academic term is called dystopia.

      That is to say,...

      Looking back on the original version, whether it is suspense or action, sci-fi setting or humorous cells, clear storyline and character relationships and conflicts, it is much stronger than the new version. As a 1990 movie, it is really good, and the concept of many scenes was innovative at that time, and I have to add another...

    Background creation

    The first draft of the script of "Universal Veyron" was jointly completed by "Alien" screenwriters Dan Oban and Ronald Shussett. The creation was inspired by the short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by science fiction writer Philip Dick.
    The film’s producer, Dino de Laurentiis, decided to let Richard Dreyfus play the leading role, while David Cronenberg, who was interested in directing the film, hoped to be starred by...
