The film unfolds in the form of the first protagonist's self-report. In the high-tech era, artificial organs have brought good news to the world, but also the beginning of a nightmare. Due to the high price of artificial organs ($650,000, or about 80 square meters of housing in the inner ring of Shanghai), many people in urgent need of transplants use Anjie loans (low down payment, 19% interest) to consume, and this is exactly the And the human organ company, The Union (the name implies that the company has a United State of America background, a bank background): only borrowing will bring them profits. Those who are eager to survive and improve their lives (absolute rigid needs) are either tempted or have no other choice but to sign a plausible sales contract. If the final repayment period is exceeded, then the artificial Organs will be collected alive by the recyclers of the United Company (small parts are fine, hearts, livers, kidneys, just hang up), in the words of the protagonist: just like banks and the government take away cars and real estate Reasonable and simple.
The protagonist of the film is one of the best organ recyclers. At the beginning of the film, he recycles human organs efficiently and indifferently with an extremely artistic method, until an accident breaks this balance. During a recovery, he suffered a severe electric shock due to a malfunctioning device, and was unknowingly implanted with an artificial heart after his heart was damaged in a coma. He tried to accept the unchangeable fact, but as an insider of the company, he knew better in his heart: everything was in vain, and the income of laborers could not support these loans forever, even if he himself was a recycler. After recovering, he faced the disintegration of his family and the grievances of his friends. From the perspective of a vulnerable group, he could no longer devote himself to his original job (killing people like him), and was even less able to repay the loans that kept pace with the times. , and even interest. In the end, he became the prey of others, fighting with his former colleagues in the process of recycling and being recycled.
In a fight with Faxiao (also a colleague), he was knocked unconscious again, and then, using the M5 artificial cerebral cortex, was able to brush shoulders with death again. However, he will never wake up again, because M5 sketched a beautiful dream for him. In the dream, he fought and killed almost all the elite recyclers of the United Company, rescued himself, and destroyed the database host together with Faxiao.
But this is just a dream. In reality, not only is he abolished, but Lianfaxiao also pays for him with all his current and future income, and this, will there be an end? ?

The moral of the film is obvious. It uses the future to allude to the current subprime mortgage crisis, and then strongly criticizes the economic laws of American-style capitalism. Hypocritical faces, contempt for humanity, rulers establish rules, harvest wildly, and make profits at any cost. On the surface, it seems to seek the gospel for everyone, and to create new social needs on the grounds of improving the quality of life, but the purpose is naked economic exploitation, causing more and more people to fall into endless pain.

Since the moral of this film is too obvious, it is not surprising that the major coal bodies in the United States have snowflakes of bad reviews, because in reality, they are the accomplices of The Union, or even minions.

In the end, the film deliberately avoided the happy ending, which is like a good Laiwu, just to warn the audience that only by resisting, killing, and destroying this money-making machine like in the protagonist's dream, can more people be saved, but the protagonist has no chance. . After all, that's just fantasy, just like the film itself.



After all, it is the first time to write a film review and express my own opinions, so please forgive me for my poor writing.

There are many Chinese characters in the PS film, and there are people of Asian descent. This is the first time in the history of American blockbusters that Chinese elements have been incorporated in goodwill. The director or screenwriter is very objective to tell the world: In addition to Europe and the United States, China will undoubtedly determine and dominate the future. The direction of the world - a street sign can see the importance of the world.
