The movie "Evolution Island" is too literary and artistic. In the whole process of confusion, it is said that it is a dark aesthetic horror movie and surrealism. Yes, it is too surreal to understand at all. The story is about the life of a young boy, Nicholas. There are only women and boys (they are all about the same age). It’s a weird island. Nicola accidentally found a boy with a starfish on his stomach in the water. Since then, he has questions about many things, so he said Because of curiosity, there will be time for development. From the boy and the weird potion, the weird meal, to the weird hospital for weird treatment, everything is weird. The people in the movie have no expressions and no smiles. , There is no blinking eye, and the woman has no eyebrows! ! It turned out that the women on the island were all mutants of starfish and human experiments. Because they were unable to reproduce, they implanted embryos in the boy’s body, and then took out the fetus and sucked the boy. The nourishment of the fetus eventually led to the death of all the boys (except for the male protagonist). Of course, there are many unreasonable places in it. Where did the fetus come from? Where do the production films watched come from? What's going on with those specimens stillborn, in short, all kinds of incomprehensible, so the surrealism is just that people can't understand. In the end, it was a female nurse who realized that, helping the little boy escape the island and find the human society. Well, the plot is probably like this, but it is really too esoteric. According to the film review, the name of the film "Evolution Island" implies that humans have evolved from marine organisms to terrestrial humans, and then combined and mutated humans and starfish to produce new species. In the end, the boy escaped from the island, suggesting that humans will evolve again. In short It’s about the topic of evolution, whether it’s from humans to marine life, or from marine life to humans, in short, it’s evolution and then evolution. It’s too surrealistic~~~ In addition to the deep connotation of the movie, the picture is indeed a bit scary and light. Dim, simple and dark setting, cold operating table and expressionless doctors and nurses, the hollow eyes of the boys, all revealing an atmosphere of horror, embryos, and babies with moving eyes. The dark aesthetics is still not suitable for this. I can’t understand the movie. This kind of movie is prepared for the film festival.
