20181209 Two swipes and punch cards. Sure enough, I saw this film before, it should be a freshman in high school, otherwise how could I forget it so cleanly. Watching it again after such a long time, I only remember a little bit of the plot, which is not much different from watching a new movie. But there is still the core plot outline of this movie in my memory, and the overall plot trend has not been forgotten.

Another story of saving the world? Contains elements of science fiction. I like this type of movie very much, it's imaginative, but it's a pity that I basically watched them all in high school. A typical movie against evil forces, there are no surprises in the middle, and there is no sense of moral contradiction between good and evil.

The setting of the movie is good, such as whether we do things because of memory or because "I am". The idea of ​​​​reforming and piecing together memories is also unique, and the brain is wide open. But this kind of life is really terrible, "I" is not "I".

It seems that the male protagonist and these people were kidnapped into space by something? There is no explanation in the film.

The film also reflects the pursuit of truth, the pursuit of truth. From this point of view, although the police detective is dead, it can be regarded as "dead in the morning after hearing the Dao".

The movie of 1998, the special effects are very good. I really like the texture of the films of this era and the overall feeling it brings to the audience. They are rough but not too rough, revealing a kind of reality. In short, it is an inexpressible and vague but very accustomed feeling.
