What if we are only carriers of memory?

I specially set aside one night to watch a movie, and this "Dark City" or "City of Souls" did not disappoint me at all! This script is really amazing~ The 1990s was really the golden age of American movies or world movies. This "City of Souls" combines "The Matrix", "The Hackers of Different Dimension", "The Truman World" and me I like "Blade Runner" very much, but the brain holes and pictures are completely out of the way, I like this kind of cyberpunk, dystopia, gothic, dark sci-fi suspense crime cult film, each element hits me directly Itching is simply not too cool! The theme of this film is also discussed in the above-mentioned films and "Ghost in the Shell": "What exactly shapes us? Will we be just the carrier of memory, memory determines us, and injecting memory is equivalent to injecting personality" , this question once shocked me when I watched "Blade Runner", but "The City of Moving Souls" is based on "Aliens try to study the souls of earthlings and create for this purpose in order to continue their endangered species. to a city with only night and to exchange human memories at midnight." Although this setting is not new, the construction of the scenes inside, the retro buildings that rise from the ground, and the dark night shrouded in depression and distortion really make me a cult lover unable to extricate myself. It really lives up to my expectations and is touched. And Jennifer Connelly's face value is as stunning as ever, too beautiful! ! If the heroine of a movie is a beauty, there must be romantic elements, and there must be love and fetters, because a beautiful woman itself means romance and love, and the final ending must also satisfy the audience in the theater. comfortable

    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

  • [first lines]

    Dr. Schreber: [voiceover] First there was darkness. Then came the strangers. They were a race as old as time itself. They had mastered the ultimate technology. The ability to alter physical reality by will alone. They called this ability "Tuning". But they were dying. Their civilization was in decline, and so they abandoned their world seeking a cure for their own mortality. Their endless journey brought them to a small, blue world in the farthest corner of the galaxy. Our world. Here they thought they had finally found what they had been searching for. Correction: The word used in the film is "qeuning" not "tuning."

  • Dr. Schreber: Remember John, never talk to strangers!
