This film is still quite thoughtful, and the portrayal of human nature is profound.
The male lead and female lead, a pair of top biological scientists, in order to manufacture medicines that can cure human diseases, and also to satisfy scientific exploration, they created two creatures, Xiao Jiang and Xiao De, which are mixed animals. The heroine had a shadow when she was a child, was abused by her mother, and could not even get a doll (when the heroine gave the doll to Zhuo En, she said that she was her closest friend when she was a child, but her family did not let her get it, she could only give her Hide) This later the male protagonist found out that Zhuo En had the female protagonist's DNA and rebuked the female protagonist for not forgetting the fine history of your family! And the heroine doesn't allow Zhuo Eun to have a cat, just like her mother did to her. After her mother died, the heroine never returned to her childhood farm.
She created Zhuo En, it can be said that she created a self, and tried to completely control her to replace normal human children. The male protagonist said in the play that she was afraid that a normal child could not be completely controlled.
Later, when Zhuo En grew up, both people and beasts would have sexual desires, and she had witnessed the sexual affairs of male and female protagonists. As her only contact with the opposite sex, she had no choice but to fall in love with the male protagonist and seduce him to have sex.
Although the male protagonist knew that Zhuo En would cause a catastrophe in the future, he wanted to eradicate him several times, but after raising him as a human for so long, the male protagonist gradually developed feelings for Zhuo En, treating him as a daughter, and at the same time. Still soberly realize that she is also a test subject. If it escapes their control and escapes into nature, it is likely to create a new species of intelligent life that threatens the entire human race.
The heroine's feelings are more complicated. She treats Zhuo En like her mother treated herself when she was a child, sometimes harsh, sometimes full of warmth, and sometimes realizing that she is a test product, but the mother's instinct even kills Zhuo En in the end When the male protagonist died, she was worried about whether to completely kill this child + monster + test object. And the animal nature in Zhuo En's body also broke out, raped her, and left behind the last evil seed.
Zhuo En can be said to be the product of a mixture of human and animal nature. She has a human-like appearance, an animal's physical characteristics, and even some human emotions, and an IQ that may be higher than ordinary people. She has feelings for the couple, but cannot suppress the call of her bestial instincts.
At the end of the film, the female scientist signed an agreement with the research institute, wanting to give birth to this evil seed for research, leaving the film with suspense and the possibility of a sequel.
It is said that there is also a version of this movie where the male protagonist is not dead and the female protagonist is not pregnant. The two live in seclusion, but Zhuo En's pool has left an egg. Science that symbolizes unethical behavior is like a ticking time bomb.
PS: The shots made in this film do not add up to more than 20 seconds. Is it interesting to say that this film is chaotic?
