This is a movie with a similar theme to The Matrix (released only a year earlier, and the train bridge out of the city may feel familiar to you?) - What makes human human? Human wisdom, success, prosperity, its Where is the foundation? Unlike The Matrix, the film sets an alien perspective of invading Earth for this kind of research, taking humans as objects and conducting scientific experiments - resetting everyone's identities and memories every night to discover the soul's Why, maybe in the eyes of aliens, people can make their souls immortal even if their memories are changed several times, so the Platonic aliens' calculus is that once they find the soul, they can take it for themselves? In addition, how did the male protagonist suddenly have the telepathy superpower of aliens? Although the entire sci-fi setting may not stand up to careful scrutiny, its core concept is still humanistic and romantic-it is not our brain and the memory it loads that make people human, but the heart ( heart) - the human capacity to care and love.
Btw, in terms of style, the movie is too dark and gothic and vampire-style, which makes the love element of the movie insufficient. Doctor Strange, singer and prostitute are also very stereotyped characters, and everyone is a tool person.
