An evocative movie

This film sets road adventures, suspense science fiction, family ethics, religious politics, etc. A bunch of connotations, of course, if your heart is more complicated, you may be able to see something else;
first of all, you must admit that the movie watching process is not very attractive, the plot Drag, fill the hole slowly, and make people want to fast forward. Of course, if you fast forward, the feeling of watching the movie will be very boring, and then you will feel that this movie is not good;
family morality line: father and son (it seems to be in this movie The biggest main line), husband and wife, friends, and family are all involved in this movie. How to look at it is different for everyone; the electrician’s rebellion informs, the original friend’s rebellion against the child prodigy (in the morning, use the last chance to channel one He was stunned by a lamp holder by the child prodigy Laozi), the child prodigy Laozi wanted to kill him. In fact, we also know the result in the following plot; the child prodigy is regarded as the savior in the ranch, but before the police are executed, they all recruited. ; Before the interrogation started, the chief officer saw a peculiar scene and put aside his professional ethics; after seeing a miracle, a policeman decided to join in the act of betraying the whole society and even shot. Injured (maybe killed) my colleague (another policeman); there are many such small details and hidden pits waiting for viewers to dig...
Religious politics: said it is a science fiction film, but the movie There are too few scenes added. Except for the last bit of CG, it really feels like a normal movie, so I feel that the director (and screenwriter) didn't want to turn this movie into science fiction, just a layered coat. What kind of higher-level world is clearly the upper-class people. They can control us civilians at any time, and we still have no idea (think about whether this is the case in real life). Parents can also be said to be the masses. Having given birth to an extraordinary son, this kid can have great destructive power in every gesture. Isn't it clear that this is a means that only the upper class can achieve? Okay, my son has gone to the upper level where he should go. My parents still suffer and have not changed for thousands of years... I don’t want to talk about religion, but please pay attention to two points. The so-called ranch was arranged by the director as a joke. It can be seen that the director hates religion, and the child prodigy father said: I only believe in sons now! Well, he saw the hierarchy and social level from his son, and felt that this was the truth.
Others are common types, so analysis is unnecessary, and everyone can make up for it by themselves.
