I just finished watching LDR, and I was actually a little disappointed. Think about it calmly. Is it really that good? Netflix lets the producers go and do it, but in the end what we see in the finished product is mostly just sex and violence, the picture is great, but strip away the gorgeous exterior, what's left? Most of the works are more dazzling than content. In my impression, excellent sci-fi works should not only make people feel good, but also explore some deeper things. Of course, as a commercial platform, Netflix must not be so happy if this show is to be successful, which is actually understandable.
Among the 18 episodes of LDR, of course, there are also works that I subjectively think are great, such as When the Yogurt Took Over (when yogurt rules the world). Many people may not understand this work and find it boring, but I find it very interesting.
I think it's a very ironic short film, ironic about meritocracy. The fate of ordinary people is controlled by a small number of elites in the upper class. Just imagine that when DNA technology develops and artificially creates "new human beings" that surpass ordinary human beings, are they still "humans"? This short film tells us that they may not be considered a species. Their image in the film is yogurt (which is ridiculous). When the artificial satellite is smashed by the universe made of yogurt, should we think about it: Maybe the elites made a lot of The decision is correct, but their starting point must be to satisfy their own interests; as ordinary people, should they be completely obedient and not think about it? Ignorance is not terrible, but being completely dependent on others and giving up thinking is the most terrible. This is also my favorite short film in the whole film.
Finally, list some of my personal favorites:
Personal Favorites: Three Robots, When the Yogurt Took Over, Beyond the Aquila Rift, Zima Blue
Recommended: Sonnie's Edge (Sony's advantage), The Witness (witness), Go Hunting (good luck), Alternate Histories (different history)
