Disagreement? no, the human

The rating of this movie before watching it was not very high. I heard that it was a bit of the Hunger Games for Youth type, but after watching it, I found that it was different. In the future world, it will be split into 5 factions. Although I don’t know exactly how the five factions are separated, they are indeed quite appropriate. The contradictions are generated in the three factions of selflessness, knowledge and fearlessness. When the movie sees the middle part , We can find that the development of the erudite school has produced abnormalities, blindly pursuing objective reality and ignoring the good side of human nature, absolute reason deprives the love of human nature, and believes that all the weaknesses in human nature should be removed, and the fearless school is also Ignore the weakness in human nature, and repeatedly emphasize that weakness will be eliminated or even die. Sometimes this weakness is actually the driving force for human progress. At this time, the movie slowly emerged scenes in The Matrix. The erudite and extreme rationality of the erudite school wanted to mechanically arrange the world like a parent program. The controlled fearless school was executing instructions like a robot, only the ones that preserved humanity. Those who disagree are resisting. It is not so much a disagreement, as it is to retain all humanity, fighting between wisdom, friendship, honesty and courage.
In my opinion, no school is healthy. Even the honest school exposes the scars of others inhumanely. It is not so much honesty as indifference. The selfless school also treats their sons in the wrong way. Sound humanity is the biggest problem reflected in this movie.
The heroine of the movie did not fully show the struggle to retain humanity. Although it cannot be revealed on the bright side, it should have a richer expression through her eyes and expressions. The male protagonist basically became the role of the vase. After the Hunger Games succeeded in using the female protagonist as the first protagonist, the male protagonist became less important in this kind of youth science fiction movie.
The whole movie is worth watching. The overall strength is somewhat lacking and the scenes are not intense enough. If each faction can show more prominently, even the weakness of the selfless, it will be more able to bring out the intensification of contradictions.
