About Utopia

After checking the definitions of utopia and dystopia, I thought it was an ideal country at first. The so-called utopia is nothing more than the existence of a system that allows everyone to meet their needs and get what they want. And dystopia, on the surface, is such a place, but there is darkness underneath it.

On the contrary, both of them are nothing more than simple good and evil sides of human nature.

I have a question, probably like this, if a system that controls human emotions is only a means for dictators to control social stability.

Isn't it the same in today's society that promotes emotions? Isn't it also a means of controlling social stability?

What is the freedom that the people want?

What most people want is to prove that they have more access to society than others, and a strong selfish desire is hidden in it. It is often easy to become a zero-sum game with limited resources. You can't get what you want. You can only compromise. The hidden emotions are passed on to the latecomers, so that the latecomers will fall into problems before they start to work hard.

The world tells you that family, love, and love are very important.

But that is the chaos created by people in the human world. They will not tell you that the satisfaction of entertainment shows is to make you emotionally stable, not to make you introduce your own real world into it. Utopian thinking is thinking about the relationship between human institutions and human beings, rather than thinking about the conflict between emotion and reason.


Regarding movies, I like this style of action. But the conflict between the cold style and the warmth of the emotions that I want to express, and the love I want to express, is not obvious enough in my opinion.

For movies, I have always been accustomed to expressing it well if I am ready to express a main value, core. If you want visual pleasure and sensory pleasure, try to keep the story simple and don't leave too many irrelevant details to express something. This is something that many film and television works like to do nowadays. The pictures are clearly up to the standard, and the basic story is also available, but it is very inexplicable to introduce a lot of insignificant things, which makes people confused.

I have always liked the actor Bell, so I added an extra star.

The story could be very simple, the pictures and actions are good, but to express the conflict in human nature in a complete world view that has not been demonstrated is really superfluous.

    The beginning was awesome and cool, and the action scenes have always been cool, but the plot is getting worse and worse. The protagonist's motives for rebellion are too Hollywood, for a dog to do a big deal, and fall in love with the US version of Song Chunli, and the ending is even more cheating. One or two lines have thinking value. Another: Tiger father without dog son Matthew Harbour

    In the film, an incomplete utopia is constructed. Drugs and killing are used to exclude dissidents and emotions. The plot and meaning are relatively thin. In contrast, 1984 is much more thorough. No matter if you have resisted and struggled, you will finally say to the big brother "I love you" from the heart. Human nature is only servility. But the handsome guy is really eye-catching. The male lead’s son is really a surprise. I thought he was a bad guy.
