1. The metaphorical form reminds me of "Let the Bullets Fly".
2. The story mode reminds me of another director's movie "The Truman World", I don't remember where I saw a sentence: some directors have been making the same movie all their lives. Of course.
3. The ice machine uses steam, so I guessed it was a lithium bromide unit at first, and then I thought that steam drive can also drive a Freon compressor unit, haha.
4. The explosion of the ice machine reminded me of the explosion of the first reactor of the Fukushima nuclear power plant today. The strong constructiveness and destructiveness of human civilization are both shocking.
5. Avery said that life is upstream, even if he was dying, he still asked whether it was upstream or not, which reminded me of Zhou Yaohui's "Dirty" lyrics and their meaning: "They live in high-rise buildings, we roam the torrent, do not frown for the day, promise You, bow your head only to kiss you." The same uncompromising gesture.
6. Avery said that walking upright exposes our hearts and genitals, and it suddenly dawned on us that we sacrificed the protection of the most important and vulnerable parts for the sake of vision and freeing our hands. All of a sudden I thought of the sentence in "The Social Network": You have to pay a fine for speeding. The process of civilization is probably the same.
7. The extremes separated by technology and religion do not seem to be very good. It is no wonder that Newton will look to God for motivation in his later years.
PS: I didn't even recognize Avery as Harrison Ford without looking at the cast.
