Obviously, the film has changed from a general sci-fi plot to some kind of allegorical picture book. Being able to foresee others but not being able to foresee yourself, and if you foresee the dangers of the future and then change them, is in itself a rebellion against prophecy. Foreseeing politics, terror came forward to try to stop it, but the assassination failed, but it finally achieved the desired effect. This is another small fable. The eyes of the protagonist are very interesting, and the calm atmosphere of life is very attractive.
