Lincoln 6E (Ewan McGregor) and Jordan 2D (Scarlett Johansson) and hundreds of residents live in an isolated community in the middle of the 21st century. In this tightly controlled high-tech building, they, like other residents, are monitored by "organizations" in their daily life. This kind of monitoring is pretended to be for the sake of their physical and mental health. There are hidden secrets behind the scenes. And if you want to leave this life without freedom, the only hope is to be selected to go to the so-called "island." Because they were told that after an ecological catastrophe, in addition to the people who live here will be lucky enough to survive, humans all over the world will die, and the "small island" is the only unpolluted pure land on earth.
But Lincoln has been having the same unexplainable nightmare lately. He has become restless and has great doubts about this strictly monitored living environment. This curiosity has led him to discover a shocking fact, that is Everything in his life is a lie. The pure earth on the "Small Island" is even more a cruel guise. In fact, all the residents, including him and Jordan, could not escape death in the end. They belonged to the residents of the "Small Island". Human clones exist only to provide their "prototype" with various replacement body parts, and their value after death is much higher than before. Just before the crisis came, Lincoln and Jordan decided to boldly escape this hypocritical utopia and enter the real world they never knew. After they fled to the outside world and stayed away from the surveillance of the “organization”, the long-standing friendship between the men and women gradually transformed into deeper feelings, but the organization’s power was so powerful that they did not choose their hands to hunt them down. Regardless of the cost, Lincoln and Jordan have only one goal, and that is to live...
If you are a good thinking person, you will have all kinds of questions about things around you, although few people will answer you, although The answer does not necessarily satisfy you, but at least you are still thinking that your life is not simply cloning other people. This is what the clone of Lincoln 6E thinks, and I think the director wants to express the same.
We live in an era of highly developed technology. Many things are like procedures that let us do according to them, without thinking or asking why. We can't understand many things, so we don't understand them at all. Look at the ubiquitous commercial advertisements all around us, telling us with different expressions but the same tone: what is standard, what is popular, and what is fashion. Our hairstyles, clothes, and mobile phones have spokespersons. They are the SUPER STAR of the arts, sports and other pop culture industries. They attract countless eyeballs and lead the coordinate of fashion. As ordinary people, we can't reach it for several lifetimes, but we can imitate, clone, and learn as they are. We wear what they wear, use what they use, and look exactly the same. If you think it's only superficial, you can learn their tone of voice and the way they walk, have you seen a "super imitation show", then Inside are all cloning masters. Of course, the highest level is to live according to the lifestyle they advertise, choosing to live a petty bourgeoisie or aristocratic life, etc. As long as you have enough desires and enough money, just like the movie said, "People can live for a living. Unscrupulous.”
The special effects of the film are very shocking, especially when the two escaped clones are being hunted down. It is especially wonderful. It seems to express the idea of equality of life. Even the cloned people cannot be handled casually. , This can't help but make me doubt the significance of technological progress. Is it for mankind or harm mankind? This proposition seems to be too heavy and complicated. Numerous major events in history have tried to prove it, but it still makes it impossible to analyze rationally.
As an ordinary person, I have adapted to the current "clone" life, watching endless episodes of soap operas, caring about the idols born one after another, and spending as little as the brand products that they endorse. Poor banknotes, and proud of it.
We are all clones, and we don't want to escape.
