If everything you believe has just been transplanted into your mind, you have never seen the sun, and you have never remembered your past, every day seems to be a dream, and every memory seems to be in touch with reality There are cracks, how to live? The gloomy and dark style of the whole film makes this city studied by the master mind even more terrifying, but I really like this style, it is both real and illusory, like a nightmare that will never wake up, although this dream is full of boundless of terror and loneliness, but still can look forward to the real sunshine after waking up, but what exactly is true? That's the funniest thing about this type of film. It stands to reason that all strangers share a common mind, but why do they have their own personalities? The bald head with the highest appearance rate seems to have a little understanding of human nature before the injection of memory, and after the injection, it seems that he is the answer that stranger has been looking for. The expression of memory in this film is thrilling and dreamy, love it. The scene of the final battle with the mastermind is full of years, regardless of technology, it is very interesting. The sunlight that came in after a hundred minutes at the end was dazzling but also infinitely beautiful, so beautiful that people couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

    In 1998, it was really boring to fry the cold rice of The Matrix and Truman. The final battle in particular highlights the vulgar taste of Hollywood.

Dark City quotes

  • [Murdoch opens the door to what should be Shell Beach and instead sees the same sign he saw earlier advertising it. Murdoch walks up to the sign, confused]

    Dr. Schreber: There is no ocean, John. There is nothing beyond the city. The only place home exists... is in your head.

    [Chuckles a bit at the irony]

    Dr. Schreber: [Murdoch and Inspector Bumstead tear the sign from the wall, exposing bricks. They then begin to hammer at the bricks with pickaxes]

    Dr. Schreber: No! No! John, stop! No! Stop! Please! No!

    [Bumstead and Murdoch reach a soft spot in the bricks and begin to pry at it. John, frustrated, uses his tuning to push away the brick wall. What results is the bricks falling away exposing space, almost sucking Bumstead out and showing the bricks crashing against the ship's newly exposed forcefield. Murdoch and Bumstead stand there, stunned. Meanwhile, a group of aliens walks in from behind them]

    John Murdoch: What?

    Mr. Hand: And now you know the truth.

    [Fight ensues]
