This is not a film review, it's a personal impression
Very interesting film, but a bit sci-fi and small. The theme of the movie is actually very serious, but the director expresses it in a black and humorous way.
This film reflects two issues: morality, the relationship between society and people.
The moral aspect is a bit clichéd, that is, how much morality can people throw away for personal gain. Even if we don't use movies, we can actually examine our own moral standards. According to Cai Kangyong, we can just ask ourselves some cruel questions. For example: If you give you 100 million US dollars, what can you do with no lower limit?
The relationship between society and people is the more important expression of this movie. Because there is a company in the movie that uses genetic modification technology to create slaves. In fact, society is bound to enslave people. The problem is only where the red line is. Just as entrepreneurs are destined to take surplus value from workers, the question is how much is reasonable.
These questions are very vague, and there are different answers according to each person's position and moral standards. Therefore, in the movie, the setting of "enslaving people" is exaggerated, so that almost all of our audiences feel uncomfortable and morally violated. The company in the movie uses some kind of genetic technology (science fiction, anyway) to turn people into horses. They have human minds, but their bodies are as strong as horses, which greatly improves work efficiency.
I have always believed that the slave society will never end. It's just that its form of existence has changed with the times. It used to be whip and torture, but now it may be a flood of variety shows. Most people used to be slaves voluntarily or involuntarily, but now, many people don’t realize that their lives are really just a screw cap on the big machine of society.
