First, briefly introduce the plots of these two films:
"Innocence" is about a closed girls' boarding school in the forest. The school adopts orphans and distinguishes children of different ages with ribbons of different colors. Loli learn to dance, senior loli dance at night to raise operating funds for the school. When loli are old enough, the school sends them to the outside world. (Large scale)
"Evolution Island" is about an island with many groups of "mothers" and little boys. "Mothers" go out at night holding embryos (or babies?) naked and messing around. Embryos will be implanted in the abdomen of all the little boys, and they will be taken out after the embryos have developed to a certain extent. After being taken out, the little boys were tied up in a sink to give birth to embryos. A nurse has feelings with the protagonist and let him go. (The scale is not large) You
must find that "Innocence" talks about little girls; "Evolution Island" talks about little boys. And both movies took place in a closed space, and finally the child walked out.
Since it is the work of the same director, the similarity is understandable.
Next, let's talk about the moral issues of the two films:
"Innocence" talks about childhood and growth. Growing up in the forest means being sheltered by the family at a young age, playing in the water means playing in childhood, Zhong Lolita wants to get over the wall and leave means she wants to grow up, only the upper grade children dance at night to raise funds for the school means some Maturity, beginning to come into contact with reality, and leaving school after the last menarche, Big Loli's KISS represents the arrival of puberty. The overall structure is very clear. I didn't think it was when I watched it at the time, but now I think about it, the shots are really good, the pictures are quite exquisite, and the loli's looks are also very good.
"Evolution Island" is about the origin of life. A group of women with suction cups on their backs represent marine life and matrilineal society; women cultivating embryos from the belly of the little boys represent the use of the little boys as reproductive tools; in the end, the nurses developed feelings with the little boy and let him go.
Then, as a science dog, let’s talk about the flaws of "Evolution Island":
1. Where is the embryo? The little boy does not have a uterus. Where can it be placed to provide nutrients to the embryo? Prostate? Kidney?
2. The little boy looks less than ten years old, yes! pregnancy! Colonize! can! force! ! Reproductive tools can only be used after sexual maturity!
3. The issue of reproductive isolation. Forget it, this may not be true, so I won't consider it for the time being.
Finally, compare the two movies:
1. "Evolution Island" has a more subtle expression than "Innocence" and is harder to be accepted by the audience. Moreover, the connotation of the origin of life is more difficult to resonate than childhood growth.
2. In addition to the connotation, the two films are still the same in form. The director is standing still.
3. "Evolution Island" has too many bugs. The director threw the content in for the sake of meaning. As a result, there are many contradictions in it, which looks very embarrassing; "Innocence" is at least logically speaking.
The above is my personal opinion, for reference only.
