Parallel world, time machine. This film opens up the philosophical proposition behind this grand technical problem. This also supports the value of the film. In fact, science fiction is just the coat of the film, and it is also a metaphorical film that makes people happy. Just as the poet at the beginning of the film said: it has been written in black and white, all your piety and wisdom will not make it a little bit back, and all your tears will not change it a little bit. Director Gilliam used the most modernist time travel to show the most classical and tragic aesthetic realm, which is sincerely admired.

Psychiatry is the newest religion. Who decides the reasonable order in this world? What is right and wrong? How to judge who is crazy and who is not crazy? Regarding the future world, is the discussion of the current ideological system reliable or unreliable? Can the future change history? If it can be changed, will it affect the future? If it can't be changed, will it continue its results in any way?

In the face of the system, the brave can still fight; but against time, mankind only has the powerless and helpless vastness.

    The film’s dystopia is not as good as Brasilia, Terry Gilliam. Actually, it should be regarded as another possible Lynch. He has weird magical powers in macro-science fiction semiotics and metaphorical expressions, but everything exists in the general direction. Interpretation Lynch’s interpretation One person, Terry, interprets the symptoms of an era. The film emphasizes determinism. No matter how hard Cole tries, he can only understand his mortal destiny. Pete's performance is the biggest highlight of the film.

    You were not changed the world, you were the one who created it. It’s no surprise that the cycle setting of the year is now. But it was still a little shocked. The male protagonist played by Lao Bu is definitely one of the hardest protagonists in film history. He was tossed to death by circulation and tranquilizers. He was shot and lost his lover and was seen by himself when he was a child. Although he became a hero in the end. Pete's performance is the highlight
