After watching "Equal Race", I feel a lot colder

At first glance, it feels like "We" in the three dystopian novels. In the white and transparent room (not all transparent in the movie), everyone is a unified mechanical behavior, suppressing emotions, and obeying rationality. Actually, I don't like this setting. First of all, in order to suppress the passions in people's hearts, it is necessary to eradicate the surrounding animals. Animals can arouse human emotions more than humans. Neither lions, tigers, kittens, puppies, or butterfly sparrows can exist around. But in this way, without animals, the balance of the earth will be broken, some plants will be overwhelmed, and some plants will be extinct. In the end, human beings are also at risk.

The tone of the movie is very pale and cold, consistent with the general environment. Once the two of them had intimacy behavior, the camera began to soften, focusing on the subtle facial expressions and body language, and the eyes were no longer cold. The overall feeling after reading it is still good, but it is not outstanding. It may be that the limitation of the story is too small, and there is no larger and more background.

I guessed wrong in a few places. For example, the technology in the film should be very advanced, but there are no surveillance cameras everywhere, giving the hero and the hero a lot of space for communication, which is unreasonable. The other guess was wrong, the emotional support group. I thought that those few people should be like the important characters in "1984" who lead others to make mistakes, and finally come back to show evil faces. What a waste of the acting skills of these actors.

Alas, after watching the movie, I also feel quite cold. This may be the reason why I can only give Samsung.

    It is not uncommon for dystopian soft science fiction to eradicate dissidents that produce emotions. The shots are similar to Terrence Malik, with various white close-ups, large defocused apertures, hand-held photography, simple art design with white as the base, and an ear-sounding soundtrack. It doesn't look right how the sex scenes of a pull and a base look wrong.

    I think it's not bad, although Nick sometimes thinks his face is weird, but sometimes he thinks it's beautiful, the forbidden love finally got together, HE
