Imagination is not born out of thin air, but from reality. The imagination of the film is based on two points: one is the population explosion. It is true that the desire for reproduction of modern human beings is decreasing, but the previous base is still there, not to mention that with the improvement of medical conditions, the lifespan of human beings is prolonged, the population growth and the earth's ability to bear. Problems lie ahead; the second is the family planning policy implemented in China, which is an effective strategy to solve practical problems (of course, it also has its own problems).
For the shocking effect of art, but also for the extremeization of contradictions. The movie took "family planning" to an extreme and created a European version of "leave only one child". The extreme government and scientists actually deceived the common people, claiming to let the extra children from each family dormant and frozen, but in fact they were directly cremated.
In such a situation, there is naturally only one problem left, multiple births. Seven children were born at the same time, and in order to protect them, the father let them live as one. They unite and cooperate and have their own strengths, but in the end, due to their different personalities and "selfish genes", under the blow of the "fertility ration bureau", conflicts occurred. On Monday, it was discovered that in order to survive, she cooperated with the "Birth Ration Board", and even used her identity to divert funds to campaign funds for scientists who advocated the destruction of excess populations.
As a result, Sunday took two sisters, solved Monday, and exposed the lie of the "birth ration bureau".
It looks like the story is over, but the problem is still not solved. And that's the truth.
One of the problems that human beings cannot get rid of is: to enforce a policy, there must be problems that cannot be covered by the policy (just like in the Taiji diagram, there is yang in yin, and yin in yang); and this problem will eventually gradually Development and growth has become a new problem. Strictly control the population, a couple "leaving only" one child, there will be a "multiple birth" problem (if multiple births are allowed, there will naturally be the problem of false multiple births or artificial multiple births); "Multiple births" are tolerant, then the policy will be exploited and cannot be solved. The second is: the contradiction between rationality and sensibility. To be honest, from the perspective of the government and scientists, the population has exploded, resources are seriously scarce, and the environment cannot afford it. Then the rational point of view is "artificial control of the population". And because of the above problems, the effective control measures must be "extreme" (like the law, there is no room for negotiation); the people understand the consequences, so they will naturally control births, but for the parents of multiple births who are born unexpectedly, it is It's hard to accept the consequences. On the other hand, if you think about the government's difficulty in maintaining the current food ration, how to use huge energy to freeze the excess population, the problem can only be solved by "humane destruction". And the government's "untrustworthiness" will usher in the accusations of the opposition and the people. As a result, the policy will either stop or rebound. The result is a rational failure.
In this regard, let's understand "population policy", "financial policy" and "education policy"...it's easy to understand. It seems to be a pendulum-like back and forth, but it is actually a necessity, a "law" of reality that human beings cannot get rid of. Just as the Taiji diagram deduces: Yin has yang, yang has yin, and yin and yang are mutually transformed. 17.9.3
