This is a film that lacks sincerity to the audience.

This point of choosing a donor is quite philosophical and worth discussing. I thought I could watch a movie with a long aftertaste, but I spent two hours in a fog. First of all, it does not sufficiently describe such a world view that is far away from our real life, so that the audience wants to understand the moral rules and legal rules of the world in which Helson lives. It all depends on guesswork. If the audience does not understand this worldview, how can they empathize with their feelings and love? I was thinking, what do you want to express, is it the suffering of people under the system, the innocence of children, or the love that never ends? I believe that the book will not be bad, but the film has a lot of faults.

    Social science fiction really doesn't look like science fiction at all...

    Does love make sense? Does the soul really exist? Are we really valuable? These metaphysical problems can only make us fall into sadness and despair. So I told myself, don't worry about the ending, don't be afraid of the future. Just to be able to love, to have a good time with you, to live in the moment, and to be content.
