First of all, it is not a movie with a particularly novel idea. As long as you have seen "1984", you can know that the plot setting of this movie is not so powerful, and there are many loopholes. Political governance is not so easy. A bureaucracy with no ideological power through drugs and ideological police cannot maintain a rule. Relatively speaking, the ideological control in "1984" is relatively reliable.

The most basic setting and background of this movie is that feelings are an important reason for destroying society and the main factor leading to war. Therefore, we should avoid feelings. Ziah movies have been constantly presenting ancient examples to demonstrate the evil brought about by emotions.

Yes, in real life, we can completely think that feelings have caused harm, but this view is the same when used in lust and greed, but often we only see one side of the phenomenon, and ignore the phenomenon. the other side. The reason why people are humans lies in the advantages and disadvantages of human beings, but in fact, the shortcomings and advantages we are talking about are only for others, and for the relationship between individuals and groups. If there is no such thing, then people are just humans. And there is no good or bad. This is a truth!

If anyone or any government wants to change the reason why a person is a person, then he is heading for destruction, and there is no result. But for what we want, we now think it is a good result, we can use human nature to achieve our goals.

And what is the bigger problem, it is good! Different environments will have different results. So it is not that simple and general. In a small area, you may be able to keep more of what makes people human, but the larger the country, the more it can keep only a little bit, rather than exploding a lot.


In addition, the action scenes and ost of this movie are simply amazing, and there is no peeing point in the whole process, it's okay.
