Ang Lee's Libra Perfectionism

To be honest, Ang Lee is a bit greedy in this movie. He wants to cater to the market, make full use of commercial elements, and he has to talk about the relationship between "me and me", and he has to show new technologies. optimal.

But I still give five stars, because the part that discusses "me and myself" still touched me.

It uses "clone human" as the basic clue. The essence of cloning is to artificially design life, and then this designed life is used to fight against the original life.

Maybe in a sense, we are all clones. Our underlying programs, defined by culture, family, environment, etc., are logical, but not necessarily good for us.

There will always be moments when the designed life forms and the primordial life force will fight. Our lives, many times. So wasted.

When one day, when you look back, is what you did right? Don't you just let others do it? Ever wondered why? Have you hurt anyone?

Have you hurt yourself?

When one day, when I asked these questions, I fought with myself ruthlessly, mercilessly, until I was exhausted, and I saw myself, extremely weak, extremely sad, and extremely ugly.

Incredibly real.

"You still have younger, you have the opportunity to choose, do some other things, such as becoming a husband." However, for violent, what is the situation?

After seeing your own fragility and authenticity, do you also accept a soul that is equally real? This sounds good, really good.

I hope that you and I will no longer keep the vitality of our gurgles in the past. Although there is no light ahead.

Light in the bottom of my heart.

Each of Ang Lee's films is more or less depressing and bleak, and then strives to create a perfect picture, with exquisite details, even shouting and fighting, without losing the beauty. Especially in this Gemini killer, the large-scale feature of the whole film, constantly approaching the prying desire of the characters' hearts, makes the plot move towards sharpness and despair, but these things are not perfect.

So the final happy ending is the ultimate craftsmanship of perfectionism. Because under the most reasonable deduction, the protagonist has no reason to live. No confrontation, no space, all die.

But life always needs some beauty.
