Twenty years later, people will regret ignoring the film

As many people have said, this is a good film that was dragged down by the Chinese translation. Many people who have watched it will regard it as an inspirational film. Yes, it is indeed a very good inspirational film. If there is a will, everything will come true, and that's the kind of person I'm talking about. But today, ten years later, after reviewing the film, I prefer to regard it as a police film.

At the time when the full sequence of the personal genome is about to be tested for $1,000, the unspoken rules that discriminate against those with imperfect genes described in the film may be in the near future. According to the current speed and trend of biotechnology development, I am sure I can witness with my own eyes that geneticists dominate people's ancestry as in the film. I think if you can choose, most people will be happy to choose the most perfect offspring as in the film, but for all mankind, from a sad point of view, maybe this will be a precursor to self-destruction: perfection means homogeneity. This means that the simplification of the race, the ability of humans to resist unknown risks will become zero. A long-proven example is that sickle anemia as a defect is a gift from nature to humans to fight against malaria.

But the sad thing is that even if everyone knows that there is such a risk, choosing the perfect offspring will be the general trend. Nature has long carved selfishness into human nature.

    Vincent: [voiceover] For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.

  • Vincent: Is the only way you can succeed is to see me fail?
