I knew in advance that this was a film about the future, so I also thought about the possibility of its science fiction blockbuster. However, the facts surprised me: the future world is not much different from the present world, and the messy streets are still so messy, and there are no cars that go into the sky, or even if there are, there are only a few people. How realistic this world looks.
From the beginning, the film made clear its theme: about whether human beings can continue. Unexplained sterilization, no cause was given in the end, but various possibilities were mentioned in the middle, which is what people in the world are doing today. No wonder people say that the director has a cautious plan.
In my opinion, Alfonso has carried out his own imagination according to the development of mankind, and listed the worst but possible situations. The whole film is shrouded in haze, and everything in the future seems to be terrible. Not only are there no children, there are refugee camps like World War II, and various anti-government organizations. The world is in chaos. However, even so, it still cannot conceal the director's human instinct, longing for light and hope.
Kee removed his clothes in the barn and showed theo his chubby belly. This scene reminded me of the coming of Jesus. This is the child that the entire human race is looking forward to, the child of the entire human race, and the key to the continuation of the human race. Although her birth cannot save the entire human world at all, it is at least a real hope.
Theo and Kee had a bumpy adventure along the way, just because they had to entrust her to the "Human Project" who didn't show her face until the end. This is the main line of the film, so no matter how sinister and dark the environment is, the overall film is always bright. However, the director’s meticulous settings throughout also give the viewer space for self-imagination, especially the "Tomorrow" and the "Human Project" are true or not, depending on the viewer's own judgment. After looking at it, I have a lot of negative opinions. I was also a negative person. But this time, I would rather believe that it is true.
