This is the result of the genetic analysis of Vincent Anton Freeman, a natural person (God child), and then this person wants to be an astronaut.
In the near future, genetic technology has become more advanced, and children can be customized before they are born-removing all known unfavorable genes, such as those of Vincent. Why does Vincent still have these? Because at first his mother believed in religion more than the local geneticists, and then the cupped Vincent was born.
The mother who was knocked down by reality finally realized that geneticists are more reliable than religion, so she gave birth to a second child. All the inherited genes came from her parents-but we removed all unfavorable genes from them, Vincent’s younger brother. Born.
From a young age, Vincent was no better than his younger brother, and he was not even taller than his younger brother. They played the game of seeing who swims in the middle of the sea. He never won. He was discriminated against by insurance companies and various employers. He was a cleaner, he filled the lower class of society, and he wanted to be an astronaut.
In order to be an astronaut, he studies hard by himself and learns to get a high score in the test. But in this genetic age, no matter how good his performance in other aspects is when applying for a job, he can be rejected by the genetic test results with one vote.
So he went to the black market to find someone to borrow the identity of a genetically customized guy. The genetically tailored guy broke his spinal cord, and has the kind of pessimistic and world-weary temperament that a man with everything would have. They live together, he provides him with an identity, allows him to pass regular genetic tests through the application, and he provides him with the luxury and enjoyment of life he is accustomed to.
Then, in the end, he didn't make a mistake in millions of operations, he passed strict physical training, and he did what his genetic test thought he could not do.
Before that, he had done this once. He won once in a game farther than who swam. That time, he and his brother swam farther than before. His brother could not support it and almost drowned. Saved him.
At the end of the film, he and his younger brother were compared again. When the younger brother couldn’t hold back and asked him how to do all this again, he said:
I never save anything for the swim back.
He is burning himself, burning desperately. He never save anything, and then he did it. This film is so inspirational. Is this transcending oneself? Is this the unyielding willpower in human nature that will always be respectable? Is this praising the freedom of being free from any restriction, even the restriction of one's own genes? Have you noticed Vincent’s last name? He is Freeman!
But wait a minute.
This is just a movie. All miracles happen only according to the director’s requirements and the audience’s psychological needs, not according to the laws of the real world. In fact, after watching the movie, I still don’t believe in neurological conditions: 60% of manic depression (Manic depression): 42% attention deficit disorder (attention deficit disorder): 89% heart disorder: 99% of people can do what is done in the movie.
The film was very well made, but the situation discussed was not extreme enough. We can continue to discuss:
1 Movies are against genetic discrimination, but there is a more thorough way to eliminate discrimination, that is-either pull everyone to the same level, or pull everyone to the same level. Then suppose that when the technology is mature in the future, everyone will be born with perfect IQ and physical ability who remove all unfavorable disease-causing genes? Can we then remove the issue of genetic discrimination from the issue? The remaining questions all depend on how everyone uses their talents.
2 Jude Law, who has the perfect gene in the movie, is depressed and tired of the world. This is a bug. True gene determinism, I think this character can also be eliminated.
3 Genes Even identical twins with the same genes will make different achievements. How to use their genes is also a key part. We still have some choices and freedom. The question is how big is this freedom? Can it reach the level of performance in the movie? I suspect.
4 The movie made Vincent, whose genetic analysis results were so bad, to create miracles. I think it's just beautiful wishful thinking. The greatest helplessness in life is to find one's own incompetence, especially where one wants to find one's own incompetence.
We don’t discuss the kind of incompetence that you can’t reach your potential. If you work hard, you can achieve that kind of incompetence. If we are a bit more extreme, we discuss the kind of limitation that cannot be overcome. Bolt’s restrictions, no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible to reach Tao Zhexuan’s restrictions. What should we do in the face of this absolute powerlessness? How should it be?
Ordinary people don't need to be Olympic champions, or actually have no interest in being mathematics geniuses, so our inability in these places often does not cause us pain. In addition, most people's mental and physical stamina are basically enough to gain a foothold in society, and others look at opportunities, so this didn't bring much pain.
The problem is that sometimes people want more, they want to be closer to the stars, they want to fly, they want to be extraordinary, especially when they are young.
What to do at this time?
Buddhism says that the root of all suffering is desire, and there is no suffering when all desires are eliminated. To be honest, this method sounds like it is impossible to do without it. And there is no desire, how can there be happiness? Without happiness, what is life called? The feeling of Nirvana in Buddhism is that I can’t play this game well, and if I don’t play the damn game, I cut off all desires, terminate all upward power, and squeeze out all the seeds.
Perhaps at this time we should all learn from Vincent, never save anything, burn ourselves, and see how much light and heat we can emit.
Because there is still an uncertain side in this world, and we don't know how our full potential looks like.
But it's easier said than done, so the people in this world who are committed to doing things and working hard are often awe-inspiring.
