deja vu

At first, it was difficult to accept its oppressive atmosphere.

I like watching sci-fi movies, I like a brighter color, and shocking or unexpected stories. It's very enjoyable to watch like this.

But this film is not like that, with a dim city at the beginning, flickering shots, and an incomplete narrative. Of course, this is what defines itself from the very beginning, it is not a simple work.

It reminded me of "Sweeney Todd", that kind of dark city. In short, it made me feel a little depressed, but I continued to watch it.

When I slowly entered the story, it was very familiar. Soon, from the first time the doctor called, I already knew the following plot in capital letters, but I was sure that I had not seen this film. Perhaps, I have seen the introduction in the movie magazine there, anyway, it is very familiar.

Including the beach and the detective who fell into outer space, the world he saw was very familiar, so when I watched it, it was a little weird,

but in general, this film is very clean and very good. Shocking power, especially every night, when using concentration to transform the city, and those unreal memories.

Those who are copied, change the memory, change the environment, and change the whole person,

whether the memory is more important, or the person itself is more important, which one is our own

, I saw a film, in which, the female agent's The memory of her father was transplanted into the body of a young man, the young man went to the female agent, he said he was her father, and the female agent, unbelievable, stood in front of her, a very young man, actually claimed that he was is her father.

However, that person had all the memories of his father, whose body had long been damaged.

And memory, is it even a complete person? Does the memory appear in another person, then that person will be the person in the memory?

I always think this way, but can't think of an answer.

This film, which I watched in 2009, turned out to be produced in 1998, and appeared as early as 11 years ago.

The picture still looks good, not as old as I imagined, I

suddenly remembered the editor-in-chief of "Journey of Discovery", Lao Gong once said,

but I found an answer, in fact , I found another mystery.

This is a road that never has an answer. The

world is too big, too big, and

this story has a happy ending, but what if John didn't have such a strong power?

If the ending was helpless and depressing, but in fact, I I think that ending is closer to the truth.

DARK CITY

still loves the last sunshine,

no matter what, human beings should still be full of hope for tomorrow

    Explore why we are human with a juvenile sci-fi story? It's a pity that there is no answer in the movie, but it provides a lot of material for latecomers.

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!
