Phantom: The Game of Life

The whole story concept is roughly like this: copy the consciousness of "A" into the body of "B". What I don't understand is that what replicates to B's body is only A's replicated consciousness, then A is already dead physically, and his consciousness has disappeared. What's the point of replicating his consciousness in the past? What is the benefit to A? Does A just want to keep his thoughts forever? It's not so great, the protagonist just wants to live, I guess he didn't think about it that much. "Sixth Day" can also clone the body, only then does the copy of the consciousness become a complete replicator in mind and body. The concept of this film is not progressing, but it is going backwards. I feel that the story should focus on how the copied consciousness thinks about itself or The question of replication itself may be more interesting. The film's editor wanted to put his own personality into the film, but he failed.

Watched it again, it's ok. The little metal in the centrifuge, the little conscience in the old soul, I give you my body back, thank you for giving me the passion to live again and the courage to die again.

3.0 Just look at Matthew Goode's face. There's nothing wrong with the plot itself, it's just that the filming doesn't make any sense.

Damian: It's metastasized. Liver and lungs. This morning the oncologist was talking about hospice care.
Martin: I'm sorry.
Damian: Don't be. What you and Judith went through, losing a child, that's a tragedy. An old man dying... I'm supposed to say, "That's life."
