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, embryo transfer and cloning technology, accidental or deliberate genetic technology is prevented from reproducing incest Therefore, it is stipulated as follows:
1. All parents who are planning to give birth must be checked beforehand. If they are 100%, 50% or 25% genetically identical, they will refuse to give birth.
Two: If there is no examination before conception, then the fetus must be examined. Any fetus that is conceived by parents with 100%, 50% or 25% genetically identical must be aborted.
Three: If parents know nothing about their genetic similarity, this code authorizes the necessary medical measures to prevent any possible further damage to code 46.
Four: If parents know their genetic similarity before giving birth, they will continue to give birth.
Then according to code 46 this is a crime.
This is the subtitles at the beginning of the movie "Code 46", with a Chinese slogan as a summary that close relatives are not allowed to marry. But with the passage of time, cloning technology and the development of in vitro fertilization (sperm bank), there will be more and more close relatives, and the most dangerous you will not know who is your fruit. This is a terrible thing. This movie starring Tim Robbins came out at the end of last year, and I didn’t see it accidentally until today.
"Code 46" is a film that reflects the social hierarchy made based on this precept. One earth is divided into two worlds with one pass. One is a civilized society that one considers itself, and the other is a barbaric society that is poor and backward. This is a shameful and real problem. The director took the film to two extremes, completely surpassing reality. The visual mobile phones in the film, like the large computer screen controlled by fingers in "Minority Report", and the plot of deleting memories in "Black Superman", In the other world, it is muddy land, bicycles rampant, and rags on the streets of pedestrians. In Fossell's "Style", it is said that hierarchy is an inevitable product of society. Although it is not divided by money, everything must be based on money.
The location of the story is in Shanghai, so there is a lot of Shanghai background in the movie. Even the first time the hero and the heroine eats are the auspicious wontons. There are also many famous buildings and landscapes. I believe that local people in Shanghai will see it very much. With a particularly familiar feeling, the director chose the location in China. I don’t know if he is familiar with the history of migrant workers in China, or he has seen the rampant rules of urban superiority in China. In my opinion, this is a great irony. In the city, You are free to shop, buy a house, book a car, enter the community and have a security guard to salute you, and you can also sneer at the busy poor people in the glass windows of high-rise buildings with coffee. . But don't forget, they are all the same life, you live such a superior life, have you ever wanted to help them? But some people gave them change at the entrance of the subway. Although you tipped one time is enough to give them ten times, the tip makes you more classy, doesn't it?
Let’s talk about another theme in the movie, the marriage and childbirth relationship between the same genes. The fictional nature of the movie extends this problem infinitely. When you are in contact with people with the same genes, it is considered illegal, and you Will be forced to delete memories, all memories about her, and a virus that resists her body will be injected into your body, that is, your body will oppose contact with her, so there will be a heroine asking the hero to treat herself Tied to the bed to satisfy the desires of both parties, the twisted body and the hands that cannot be swayed, a person even loses the right to control his body. This kind of painful bondage is voluntary, which is different from the love after bondage in "Forbidden Room Training Desire". It comes from the support of a deep kind of love from the heart, and this love extends to the final hero and him. 'S wife is lingering on the bed, while the heroine at this time is in another world's sad memories, walking in the broken wall and muttering to herself, "They leave the memories of love to me, anyway, they don't need it. Who cares about my sorrow!". .
Tim Robbins, who was well-known in the stimulation of 1995, played a boldly pursued male protagonist in the movie, and the heroine was Samantha Morton, who was hailed as a vase. The performances of the two in the film were average. It’s not brilliant, it’s also because the film is too expressive of social issues and ignores the emergence of the protagonist’s human nature. The pace is slow and the plot is not rushed. Although the last two escaped somewhat climax, but it was like a bed. The woman pretended to be orgasm, bluffing. The bleakness of the film's soundtrack is also the main reason. Except for the last British rock that blurs the film, the dim sadness of the film is still acceptable, there is no way to elaborate on the soundtrack. Even so, it is enough to reflect such deep and realistic social problems to be regarded as a very good film. Compared with those movies that stimulate verbal pleasure with the senses, they can give some room to think. Besides, if the future is so ruthless, I would have died early.
