A sci-fi thriller similar to The Matrix.

It's a low rating, but it's really worth a look, after all, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. Anyway, I think there is a feeling of refurbishing an old routine. Let you deeply realize how terrifying life is if it is so monotonous and boring, instead of just staying on the mundane concept of black-hearted real estate and infertility. On the contrary, this movie has a lot of connotation, all the time. In the satire of society, in the three questions of philosophy - where do we come from? Who am I? Where am I?

Then I have to say that the actors in the movie acted very well (especially the little boy, the ghost movie is not so scary, it completely shows the temperament of aliens), which makes people feel immersive.

Especially when I saw that I escaped from this terrifying world and broke into the alien high-dimensional space, I was really shocked. The special effects are still generous-how small, fragile, and helpless human beings are in front of advanced alien civilization... …

And I think the reason for the movie's low rating may be that the ending doesn't solve the mystery of the alien creature, but for some people, the ending is reasonable enough. At least a sci-fi movie, still have to leave some suspense~

Although the theme of the movie has nothing to do with the beginning (I don't really understand the chick at the beginning, it is probably the meaning of the law of survival - I don't understand how you understand it, some people interpret it too far?), but this ending Echoing the previous paragraph, it serves as a loop to point out the center.

Ahem, having said that, I think renaming this movie to "Ecological Cycle" or "Law of Circulation" or "Infinite Box" is more in line with the theme hahaha...isn't it?

To live alone in such a hopeless, dull, repetitive maze (especially surrounded by familiar things, but empty, which is worse than a prison.) It's really painful. I think normal people will definitely collapse or die of depression within a few days. The will of the two protagonists can be said to be very strong. Like it??

In the end, I really don't understand why I would write a review for a movie with such a low rating (probably a grievance?), and it was a 6.0 an hour ago, and suddenly it's a 4.0? =. =

    #Cannes# 7⃣️The anti-fertility lesson plan, the visual spectacle part is very impressive, and the cyclical setting is simply the strongest projection of the vicious circle of human birth and health concepts.

    The curly looks did not save this movie. The live-action version of the story of Cuckoo's growing up through the nest, but the brain is not big enough, the sense of science fiction and themes are a bit wasteful, and the content is not enough. The size of the short film is stretched to the feeling of a long film. It's also a bit thin, and the director still needs training.
