See people fall asleep

The script is bad, and there are many loopholes. This kind of love story set in the sci-fi world could have fanciful or thrilling plots, such as "Lobster" or "Escape from the Island of Clone". This movie really makes people fall asleep, there is no suspense in the plot, and it is full of superficial and old-fashioned plots. Twilight Girl offends the stylist, her old and ugly makeup is a bit horrible. Only the lighting, photography and soundtrack are worth mentioning. There are a few scenes showing the psychological changes of the characters through the light color gradient, and the scene where the male and female protagonists touch each other under the virtual focus lens. It is absolutely vivid and colorful, and silent is better than sound. If the whole film is made into a silent film, the effect may be even more unexpected. As soon as the character speaks, the illusion of the future world disappears without a trace.
