The character setting behind the story is more interesting than the story itself, but I just want to talk about the last bullet

The film is not bad, the filming is beautiful, the actors also want to look good, and they want acting and acting skills, at least they are all supported. But the story is still inseparable from the American green tea bitch's posture, which is a little bit angry.

But the various details are very interesting.

Some people don't understand the meaning of the last bullet. In fact, it is very simple to understand. It has nothing to do with human nature. The answer is in the story.

First of all, the propositions set by the professor are based on his belief that the boyfriend is not worthy of the heroine. Therefore, he set the background of the doomsday crisis to cover up the cruelty of eugenics or elimination, but created the illusion that they could save as many people as possible. But in fact, this is the same logic as choosing one of the two train tracks and choosing five at the beginning. Only this time, human skills and objective conditions are the prerequisites for selection. He wanted to prove that with that man, the heroine would regret it.
Girls will be happy only with the "excellent" him.

Then, after two rounds of games, the heroine couldn't stand it and counterattacked. Her setting is to tell the professor that it is not important what skills a person has, but whether the person can make life happier. The length of a person's life, or even the duration of the entire human race, is not important. What is important is that life is happy during this period of time. Instead of just reproducing for the sake of reproduction, being excellent for the sake of excellence.

In the end, the bullet, or the scene switching at the end of the film, is actually an open ending, telling you that the professor can end his life in the dark, or start a new one after the dark. Life, as for how to choose, you think about it yourself. . .
