In fact, this is just an extremely simple love story, but it uses the most gorgeous packaging, science fiction.
If all this is something special, it is that future era, the world is divided into "inside" and "outside", "inside" is the city, the community is the crystallization of high-tech, the beauty is paradise, and the "outside" is the desert or sordid Dirty is poverty, backwardness is hell.
And what controls all this is a small pass. Only by possessing it can you enter the "inside" or come to the "outside".
Michael Winterbottom moved the world to a city I am familiar with now, Shanghai.
William is a special investigator. Because he was infected with a strange virus, he could know the psychological activities of the other party. At this time, the Shanghai branch of Phenix Co., Ltd., which was responsible for manufacturing the passes, found a batch of fake passes, and he was arranged to go to Shanghai. Investigate this matter.
At this moment, he met Maria, one of the suspects, and he could be sure that she was the criminal who made the fake pass, but he perjured her and identified another person.
The reason is simple and absurd. This woman who she has only met once seems to be inextricably linked with her. The feeling that he has seen her before, he wants to protect her because he loves her.
They drink, chat, have sex, and then leave.
When William returned home, thinking of Maria in Shanghai, it seemed that she could not get rid of her shadow. At this time, the headquarters told him that a person who had gone outside through a fake pass had died, and the person who made the fake pass had not been caught, so he once again Was sent to Shanghai.
He discovered that Maria’s DNA and her mother’s actually had the same place.
He couldn't find Maria, she was missing.
It turned out that she was pregnant and violated code 46, she was artificially insemination, and all memories of William were erased.
He rescued her from the hospital, sent her back to Shanghai, and found a picture of William in a video, and they began to love again.
Yes, start love again.
William needs to leave Shanghai, he needs a pass, Maria made the last fake pass for him, and then left "inside" with him and came to "outside".
Yes, the "outside" is dirty and chaotic, but they are free, they are alive, not the driver William said when he first arrived in Shanghai, no one is alive, everyone just exists.
However, there is another aspect of the medical effect of code 46, that is, when you make love to someone who violated code 46 again, your brain will unconsciously report to the "inside".
So they began to flee, and then, a car accident.
William was taken back "inside", he was erased from the memory of Maria, and Maria was expelled "outside".
At the end of the film, William, who had erased his memory, had sex with his wife, and another scene was Maria, who was restored to memory, staggering in the desert.
Maria said at the end that they returned the memory to me.
It's just that they will never pass and miss anymore.
Shanghai is not a specific place. Such story directors can be arranged in Tokyo, Berlin, Milan, New York, New Delhi, Kuala Lumpur. It's just such an environment, a chaotic and unreal environment, so okay, then.
If we know what will happen in the future, will we take that first step?
PS: Code 46: From a genetic point of view, any two people with the same genome can be considered the same person. Due to the development of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer and cloning technology, accidental or deliberate incest through genetic technology is prevented Reproduction is becoming more and more necessary. Therefore: First, all parents who are preparing to give birth must be checked beforehand. If they are 100%, 50% or 25% genetically identical, they will be refused childbirth. Second, if there is no examination before conception, the fetus must be examined. Any fetus conceived by parents with 100%, 50%, or 25% genetically identical must be destroyed immediately. Third, if parents don’t know anything about their genetic similarity, this code authorizes the necessary medical measures to prevent any possible further damage to code 46. Fourth, if parents know their genetic similarity before giving birth, it is a crime according to code 46.
