Expectations are not high, but it looks amazing.
A group of aliens who want to study what a human is!
When memory can be manipulated at will, when reality can be changed at will, what a perfect experimental scene.
It's a pity that this wave of alien's scientific literacy is not very good. Physiology, psychology and experimental thinking are all blank, and a great control experiment is wasted.
This setting is actually completely reasonable. We are also doing various experiments with various creatures, and we are also manipulating their worlds in ways they do not understand. Just for knowledge. Thinking both ways, what if someone experimented with us too? What if our experimental creatures also awaken to human cognition? Both are questions worth thinking about, although the former has been generalized in science fiction concepts.
Wish there was such a cute little zoo in reality, or at least in thought.
The protagonist of the film, the memory, is also interesting. It is the most unreliable thing, after all, we cannot even remember the process of forgetting. And this is the foundation of our cognition. Here cognition can even be replaced by existence. Pessimistically, we stand in an unknowable nothingness, at least until we resolve the logical contradictions of self-referentiality.
In general, the temperament of the movie is particularly rare. The fantasy scenes of the last century are not naive until now (except for eye contact), and they can even hold the entire dark until the end of the sun. Pushing open the door leading to the shell beach reminds people of Truman's world, one leading to reality and the other leading to the void, but both point to nothingness. In the end, although there is no "God said there should be light", it is romantic enough to create a sea.
It's a pity that the love for no reason has lowered the force a little bit, and it's disappointing to be at ease at the end without doing more exploration and pursuit.
But it does not hinder the first feeling is full score. Highly recommend.
