The first time, it was purely watching, from not understanding to understanding, from being outside to being attracted, from being indifferent to caring, to going deep into it.
The second time, it is research. After knowing the end, I will study the beginning and the process and observe carefully.
For the third time, the first draft of the film review was finished, and the details were verified.
This film seems to be born out of "The Matrix". The story background, structure, and scenes are similar. In many places, there are obvious shadows of hackers, such as the artificial uterus that lived before the separation of human cloned embryos and the viscous nutrient solution. ; Lincoln 6E’s dream of drowning and sinking in the water is very similar to Neo’s when he came out of the womb; implanting memories into clones; bugs used in synaptic examinations; even the line “Welcome to the world” is also Reminiscent of the classic among hackers-"Welcome to the real desert".
But compared to hackers, it has a more cruel side. The topic is the most sensitive "human cloning". It touches ethics, morality, humanity, law, etc., and it can also be said to be a vision for the application of cloning technology in the future world. In addition, it also has the shadow of the Nazis-such as the management of concentration camps, the removal of organs from the living body, the killing of people with poisonous gas, etc., the repetition of the past in the future, especially in the hands of people who profess to be God, kill some people and save others , And some of the former people, they are not regarded as people, as simple tools, in the promotion, called "plant state", "product", it is really chilling.
People who don’t know much about manufacturing may not have much association when they see the word product. However, manufacturing planning is the industry I used to work in. Therefore, when I see terms such as production line and product, I instinctively associate it with factories and machines. Easier to feel. What is a product? The product starts from the purchase of raw materials, through engineering design, planning calculations, purchasing and storage, issuing work orders, production picking, process processing, semi-finished products, assembly, packaging and other links, and finally produces finished products. Industrialized mass production, manufacturing mostly refers to inanimate things, whether it is discrete or process type. Therefore, if it is a living person, it is made as a product through a production line, and it is regarded as a product, and it is branded (industry called product number, ERP standard noun is material code), it is enough to be shocking and inexplicable. Moreover, these products are actually sensible, and can even automatically generate memories, which are painful, fearful, and joyful-but they, Tongtong are regarded as tools. They yearn for the holy island wholeheartedly, but they don't know that the other side of happiness is actually their hell. This is really a huge irony. Therefore, when McCord taught Jordan how to use shoulder bags and handbags, Jordan said: "I'm not an idiot," McCord immediately sarcastically said: "Yes, the clever kid crying and crying to go to the Holy Island girl".
McCord, a technician, knows the truth about the base, but unlike the rest of the base, he treats clones only as a tool. He is the direct cause of the awakening of Lincoln 6E. Lincoln 6E liked him because McCord was willing to chat with him, and there was wine—something strange and wonderful to him. In the entire film, McCord may be the kindest person who sympathizes with clones and gives a helping hand. He also reminds Lincoln 6E, "People can do whatever they want to survive." He was lost for clones. Life. Echoing his words, the owner of Lincoln 6E-Tom Lincoln, who spent $5 million on insurance and made Lincoln 6E, did verify this sentence. Ironically, it was a cloned Lincoln that survived. He also changed from naive and ignorant to deep and calm, and even wittily put the cloned identity certification bracelet on Tom's wrist, so that Albert who came to catch him shot the real Lincoln, he repeated to Albert This sentence is really meaningful.
The unique aspect of this film is that the general cloning follows the universal law of human reproduction, that is, from infant to adulthood, this stage is indispensable, and in this film, the clone can follow the instructions and act as an adult." "Born", although the newly "born" clone still maintains a baby-like ignorant posture, but after the cultivation period, it quickly becomes a "normal person". This is a quick success, and naturally there are other problems. People who have only been three years old may have 30 years of growth memory. The inextricable connection with the original owner's subconscious will enable them to have skills that have never been learned in a very short period of time-of course It is the basis of the film's argument, whether it is medically established or not, but it is the background of the existence and development of the storyline. It is not a trivial detail that is not worth pursuing. Dr. Malik’s sentence "Mature and harvest after December" makes people listen. The scalp is numb.
The highlight of the film is naturally that the clones went from being ignorant to questioning, so they explored, discovered secrets, and fled all the way, and there are detectives chasing after them, the world is under the ground, fierce fighting, bloody, hot, people and scenes are very cool, and the car is overturned. A few shots were taken very well (but this kind of shots have been watched a lot and the audience has been spoiled, so unless they are outstanding, the general highlights are difficult to move), there are also funny elements, such as Lincoln 6E and Jordan after running out, They found a snake on the side of the road. They didn’t know what it was. 6E was bitten, but ran away casually (it seems to be a non-venomous snake), and their limited vocabulary, in the bar Also make a joke. The advertisements that appear in the film from time to time are also funny. I like MSN Research and Cisco IP Communications very much.
But the really thought-provoking parts of the film are some seemingly heavy fragments. Lincoln 6E ran to the operating area and saw Lima gave birth to a child. She was immersed in joy and surprise. Because she had never seen a baby, she asked for a hug and was not allowed. The smiling female doctor put the child down and held it. Lima's ankle watched her struggle and die. There was also a trace of pity in her eyes, but it was not for people, as if it were for small animals. In another shot, the female doctor is holding the baby and walking over the corridor. The light is getting brighter and the lens is getting closer. Her expression and the posture of holding the child are very similar to the Virgin. The door opens, and she looks like Lima. The same woman took the baby in surprise. ——The birth of life is so cruel. On the second time, I noticed that in the first few shots, there were many pregnant women. The birth of a baby was the end of their lives, but they didn't know it, blindly immersed in joy. ——Such propositions are heavy. It also proved that "they will never think, will not be painful, without love, hate, they are a product" is a huge lie. The value of human cloning lies in death. ——Of course, when they are alive, they also work, and their job is to infuse the cloned human being in embryonic state with nutrient solution.
The awakening process of Lincoln 6E started from doubt, and curiosity urged him to explore and uncover the truth. After escaping, I found McCord and asked McCord why they were lying. McCord replied, "Let you not know what you are." Lincoln 6E asked hesitantly: "What are we?" When the police caught him, he claimed to be Tom Lincoln and obtained Tom’s address. In front of Tom, he used his original name Lincoln 6E. When Tom drew his guns, the three confronted each other. He said in a determined tone: " I am Tom Lincoln!" It can be said that it is self-protection at the critical moment of life and death, or it can be said that it is the awakening of self-consciousness. The name of the ship that appeared in Lincoln 6E's dream, Renovatio, has the meaning of "rebirth", which seems to be a metaphor.
Unlike the real Tom Lincoln, Lincoln 6E plays a heroic role in the play. Knowing that the clones will be recovered, that is, facing death, he resolutely went back to rescue them. This type of bridge has been used too much, so it is lackluster. It is worth mentioning that Albert's transformation. In the beginning, this was a ruthless hunter. In order to capture Lincoln 6E and Jordan 2D, he did not hesitate to kill other people's lives (this is actually a major failure. Cloning is life, and human beings are even more. After placing an order, there is no need to hurt the innocent. It is actually making trouble for himself, not to mention the use of helicopters, black bee speed vehicles and other equipment, which is a bit too arrogant, if it is the military, it is almost the same), in fact, in the middle, he already knows They are not the vegetative people mentioned by Melik, but they are really touched by seeing Jordan's brand and her tears. The tears of the clones appeared twice in the play, and the other was tears of joy on Lima's face when she gave birth to a child. Tears have played a role in proving the "identity of a person" in many films. For example, in "Green Snake", the tears shed by the white snake means that she has turned from a demon into an adult. Jordan's tears moved Albert and made him care about her destiny, and therefore think of his own destiny, so he turned to the cloning side. Germaine Hansue, who played Albert, was nominated for an Oscar. His performance in this film is not bad (except for the innocent scenes). The rivalry between him and Dr. Melik about work and God is very exciting.
If this change is due to the gradual understanding and sympathy for human cloning, then customers who are buyers, such as Tom Lincoln, have proved that the market will not end with the death of Dr. Melik. In the ever-existing market, immortality has always been the eternal dream of mankind. He wants to send Lincoln 6E back to the base because "I still need him", even if he knows that his insurance is a living person, consciously, almost exactly the same as himself, he Will not change his original intention. It is conceivable that if the Lincoln 6E is sent back to the base and executed due to a defect, Tom will still go to the base to be scanned again and develop another insurance.
After Lincoln 6E witnessed Lima's death, he also witnessed Stark Wade escaping from the medical room in 2D. This was the person who should have been on the Holy Island, so Lincoln 6E suddenly understood the truth of the Holy Island. The holy island does not exist, everything is a lie. At the beginning of 2D, Starkwerder was incoherent because he was happy to learn that he had won the jackpot. At this time, the fear, wailing, and struggle. Then, when he escaped and was caught, the scene was used as a joke by the guards-that's true. The cruel scene, taking pleasure in the suffering of others, is one of the great evils of human nature. Then, the liver was frozen. This is the fate of Starkwerder 2D. The meaning of his life is actually this organ. During the operation, the "living body" that has been repeatedly emphasized makes it difficult to distinguish it. The doctor is still an executioner.
But the doctor himself, thinks he is God. Therefore, when Albert brought Jordan back to the base, he asked Dr. Melik when killing became his job. Dr. Melik retorted that he had found the holy grail of science. In this world, Who can make the promise of regaining the health of children with leukemia? Albert teased that it is only you and God, and I am sure that you also want this answer. And McCord also said to Lincoln 6E that Melik has a "god complex", as all doctors do, they think they know everything. However, God is not profitable, and the whole crime is actually based on monetary gain. Maybe it was just for pure scientific research at the beginning, but, "You made a good start, I will end", the director of public relations Weiman hopes to expand the promotion to win more customers. Tom Lincoln paid 500 for the insurance. Ten thousand dollars, and also said that if you can live forever, this amount of money is nothing. Therefore, on the one hand, there is a cloned person who is imprisoned, and on the other hand, a playboy who lives indulgence. Because of the spare parts, he is even more confident. What Dr. Melik calls "saving people", the people here are actually only a small number of people, they are customers who can afford expensive prices, and this customer includes the President of the United States, the largest investor, and the Department of Defense-this It’s a pity that there is no digging deep inside. In fact, the subject matter can be expanded and political factors can be added. The proposition will be heavier and the plot can be more interesting. In addition to private detectives, police, and the military, It can be more exciting, and the cloning event will be more tragic. In this way, we can also avoid the anticlimax at the end-clones escaped from birth, but how to live in the future? Although Dr. Melik is dead, the original form of these clones is still alive. The whole incident will reveal the social unrest that it caused under the sun. The film does not reveal how the clones will live in the future (their intelligence is only 15 years old). ), also did not reveal. ——Perhaps the director only pays attention to “good-looking” (what the director thinks of good-looking may be hot scenes such as fights, air chases, explosions, etc., and because every film is like this, the audience’s requirements for good-looking may have been demanding and difficult to tune. ), while ignoring the soul of the film-the film is not soulless, but it has not been better developed, like Fang Zhongyong, early wisdom, but gradually mediocre and reduced to ordinary people.
The ending of the film is very rushed and idealistic, so it is suspected of being anticlimactic. The film raises questions but does not give answers. ——But maybe no one can give this answer. In the future, it is difficult to guarantee that such a true story will not appear (in the current real world, in fact, there are similar things happening, which may be of a lesser nature, such as people who sell organs, such as people who kill people by selling organs for profit, such as in zoos. Live bears take their guts, etc.). Commercial blockbusters focus on entertainment rather than ideology, but it is difficult for us to regard such films as pure entertainment.
