This is a prophecy, this is a portrayal, this is a warning

This is a prophecy.

In the film, the lives of the people in the research institute are arranged. What you can eat, what you can’t eat, and even what you can think about are all arranged. I can't help wondering if sex, pregnancy, etc. are all planned, but I didn't even have knowledge of both sexes. Everything is planned. People don't have their own preferences and cannot have them, as long as they obey the arrangements. This is the prediction of the planned society. The planned society is the mass production of human beings. It is the ultimate society of people, because there will be no more in the future, and mankind has been destroyed. The planned society is not far away from us.

This is a portrayal.

When watching this movie, I couldn't help thinking of North Korea.
The situation of North Koreans is similar to that of human clones in the movie: they have been brainwashed from birth, this is heaven, and the outside is full of pollution. This is the last pure land of mankind. If there is a slight doubt about this, if it is contaminated, it will be destroyed.

This is a warning.

Some people are very fortunate that this is not North Korea, and there is no planned society. Actually, life is like a swamp, full of dangers. There are many authorities and leaders in society. They are responsible for providing ideas, we are responsible for assembling. Before you know it, qualified products come out. People are lazy. There are all kinds of ideas in the society. Just use them. Why do you work so hard? Are you tired? People with independent ideas are just overwhelmed.

The film says it well: the holy island really exists, and it is ourselves.

The human society may depend on us. But do we dare to question it? Have your own ideas?
