that operates in an orderly manner... Such a world, what do you call it? Maybe called-heaven?
That's how people in the movie call it. It is said that the outside world has been destroyed, and they are the survivors chosen by God. Life in heaven is carefree and monotonous. Fortunately, there is a weekly lucky draw to stimulate everyone's nerves. That is "THE ISLAND": It is said that there is a small island surviving outside the ruined world, where you can see the legendary blue sky, white clouds, sun and waves. ISLAND has become the hope of people's lives. Waiting, one day the god of luck will come again, I can go to ISLAND, see the real sky again, and breathe fresh air.
The opportunities are completely random and not equal. The hologram is playing a VCR that a lucky guy was excitedly shouting after he went to ISLAND. He was selected to go to ISLAND after only six months, but some came for two years, three years, or even For seven years, I haven't been on the turn! Some people lose control of their emotions because of this, and some people start to study whether the so-called random sampling process is otherwise regular, but Lincoln 3E doesn't care much, as long as they can meet Jordan 4D during the meal time every day, it will be satisfied.
Life in heaven is monotonous, even food is so monotonous. You can't choose colors for clothes, and you can't order menus for meals. Everything is the best combination prescribed, because this is in line with the principle of heavenly life: health. Healthy and happy.
Lincoln 6E is not very happy recently. He always has nightmares, dreaming that he and Jordan 4D are in danger in ISLAND, and the ship overturns the sea and immediately submerged the two of them... His mental condition also attracted the attention of the "master" of this world. People in heaven shouldn’t have mood swings, and there shouldn’t be excessive attraction between men and women. Why has all this appeared in Lincoln 6E recently?
Everyone here has a serial number. Every day's work is to fiddle with some test tubes. In my spare time, I can exercise with books and read. There is also a place for everyone to gather occasionally and have a drink.
Lincoln 6E is different from others. He will think about where these test tubes have gone. The neighbors who belong to the E sequence have never considered this issue. He also has friends who can have some real conversations, such as the remnants of human life before the destruction of the world in his mind. His friend works in an underground computer control center. The happiest thing about Lincoln 3E is that occasionally something goes wrong and sends him to the underground to find someone to solve it. The underground world is different from the above, dark, messy and dirty, but Lincoln 3E likes it for no reason. On this day, he had the opportunity to go underground again, telling his friends about the mysterious dreams that had plagued him recently, talking about this heavenly world, and talking about God's rules for choosing people to go to ISLAND? The friend replied: "When you pray, the person who always ignores you is God."
Suddenly, a small butterfly caught the attention of Lincoln 3E. It's really amazing. There shouldn't be any life in the outside world that can survive. How could this little thing fly in without being detected by the system? He carefully caught the butterfly and brought it back to his residence. There is no chapter of "Xiaoyaoyou" in his world and education, otherwise he must have thought it was China's Zhuang Zhou who came to "paradise" for sightseeing.
The unexpected gain, and the dream, he was anxious to discuss with Jordan 4D, which was full of doubts for him. But it was too late. The result of a new round of lottery was born. The avatar displayed on the screen is exactly-Jordan 4D!
Nothing was too late, Jordan 4D said: "I'm waiting for you in ISLAND." It
was night, Lincoln 3E stared at the little flying insect flapping its wings in the bottle tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He got up and sneaked back to the ground where the butterfly was found, and decided to one Check it out... The
above is the first half of the American science fiction movie "THE ISLAND". There are more movies, especially Hollywood movies. The more orderly and uniform the so-called "perfect world", the more you must be "vigilant", because 100%, this world is an illusion, and movies will eventually reveal this. This movie is no exception. In the middle of the movie, this Lincoln 3E discovered a shocking secret: the world is not destroyed at all, they are just clones-no, not even people, just the life insurance of their respective patrons Plans-to be precise, "products".
The time is 2090. The ethics of cloning is still being disputed, but many people can’t wait, so such a big company came into being and built a "cloning paradise" underground. As long as you can afford the expensive cost, you can Produce yourself a "spare tire" to replace the defective parts on your body at any time, even if you can't give birth to a child, you can find a clone to do it for you. His genes are exactly the same as yours. Except for the serial number on your wrist, the two of you can't tell the truth from the fake at all. But he is a product and you are a human being. The meaning of his existence is for you to use and extend your life and his "retirement period" almost there.
The company's researchers deceive customers (customers are probably happy to deceive themselves). Cloned people are not humans without emotions, but research shows that without thoughts, emotions and love, organs will gradually shrink. There is no way but to modify the program. The clones in the "baby" on the production line are instilled by the program the concept of world destruction and they are survivors. After they are "off the line", they are implanted with different memories, which are actually derived from twelve basic programs. The only difference lies in the modification of the details. Thus, "heaven" was born, and everyone is a survivor of the aftermath. There is no ISLAND at all. Winning the prize means that the patron needs some organ of their own "spare tire" to continue their lives. They have no surviving life, and they all go to ISLAND to live "happy". Such a fate, now it's Jordan 4D's turn.
Lincoln 3E certainly couldn't sit back and watch, he immediately found Jordan 4D and launched a triumphant escape. Let the second half of the movie completely degenerate into a typical police and criminal shootout.
Although the system sets the education level of each cloned person: equivalent to the intelligence of a fifteen-year-old child. But a perfect system does not exist. There are always errors. Lincoln 3E is the master of errors. In three years, his intellectual development is equivalent to thirty years, and his learning ability is extremely strong. There may be something wrong with the entire E series. This is a particularly thoughtful sequence. The basket is getting bigger and bigger. The big companies not only send killers to chase down Lincoln 3E and Jordan 4D, which have fled to the real world, but also decide to destroy the entire E sequence to avoid future troubles.
In a similar way, in the real world of bullets, Obi Wang "possessed" Lincoln 3E quickly grew into a typical "American hero", he successfully thwarted his patron's conspiracy to destroy himself, and Jordan 4D It is the first time to experience the feeling of true "paradise". I am not greedy to enjoy the life of all his wealth as a patron, and insist on returning to the magic cave to rescue all the clones. Even the chaser finally turned the enemy into a friend and fought side by side with them. The
ending is just like the line in "The Mummy": "kill the bad guy and save the world"!
The clones finally saw the real sky, and everyone rushed to the vast world to cheer. And Lincoln 3E and Jordan 4D. They are now Lincoln and Jordan. They have gone to a real ISLAND. The prince and princess live happily together forever...
This is a fairy tale ending, which shows that the film is questioning an ethical issue. After that, another ethical issue was raised. I didn't intend to solve it but ignored it rashly. That is: So many clones enter the real world, and they are mixed with the same "prototype", how will the world be messed up? !
As a result, this movie has irretrievably reduced to a mediocre work (in fact, the various bridges revealed in the second half of the truth have already begun to emerge), and its creative thinking cannot be compared with many similar "predecessors", no wonder the box office failed miserably. , Even if there are handsome guy Ivan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, known as the most beautiful woman of the 21st century, it will not help.
Is the world I live in real or illusory? How to prove the truth? This is a question that Zhuang Zhou, one of our ancestors, was thinking about thousands of years ago. "Zhuang Zhouxiao dreams of butterflies, Wang Dichun cares for the cuckoo", what a bewildered and beautiful question. Even Kangxi, who had a clear life goal, had such doubts: "Who am I before I am, who am I after I am without me".
The rapid development of modern technology has undoubtedly aggravated the huge shadow cast by this age-old question in people's minds. Especially in the West, where science fiction and movies are developed, similar themes have emerged in an endless stream in recent years, and there is no shortage of fine works. Such as "Thirteenth Floor", "Blade Runner", "eXistenZ", and even the trilogy of "The Matrix" by the Wachowski Brothers, all of which are discussing and exposing the same problem: We are The world you are in may be illusory. We may just be a program under the control of a supercomputer, or a copy, or simply an artificial human; the world we live on may simply be a memory implanted in our brains, perhaps all designed by computers, or the world The end of is not so far away, as long as you overcome your fear and make a leap...
Different stories and the same anxiety all reflect the deep fear and distrust of human beings who are increasingly relying on technology and relying on computers. But this fear cannot be overcome, because it is our human beings who create and develop this fear uncontrollably until it leads us to the end of everything, to the end and then to rebirth. The world is forever, but it's not the original one, just like the statue of Liberty that collapsed on the beach at the end of the old version of "Planet of the Apes", with its arms broken and still holding the torch high.
Human beings are unwilling not to move forward, and fear the consequences of uncontrolled development one day. This contradiction cannot be reconciled, so they put their love in the movie, repeating the hypothesis over and over again in the image, exploring over and over again and despairing.
Is man really a masterpiece made by God? So smart and so stupid. The root of all happiness and pain in life and death actually belongs to this-human nature that cannot be escaped and redeemed.
