.......Wonderful, wonderful! Applying the very popular sentence patterns now, this film fully meets the requirements of "very good, very powerful"! I almost watched the film in one breath, and I had to endure it first. Regardless of the plot, filming technique, rhythm performance, or background music, this film is an excellent work. Such a good movie failed miserably at the box office in the United States, and the level of American appreciation is really problematic. Perhaps it is because the Americans are tired of watching the scenes of speed chasing, and there is a lot of speed scenes in this film, so they are aesthetically tired? In short, this is an excellent movie! It is a rare commercial film with considerable artistic accomplishments, both with a steady grasp of the macro, and an in-depth description of the micro.
The film reflects the dirty nature of politics itself at a macro level-the Ministry of Defense actually invested 120 billion yuan in a company that manufactures human clones. It may be said that the Ministry of National Defense was also deceived by the company's lies, thinking that these clones were just clones without thoughts and souls, vegetative people, but as an investor in the company, the Ministry of National Defense apparently has the status of the company's operations and how it operates. Responsible for oversight. It seems that there is bureaucracy everywhere. But the conversation about the television station between Lincoln's ontology and the clone also tells people how important the independence of the news media is to safeguarding social justice! They plan to go to the TV station to expose the truth, without worrying that the TV station will not report it, because the TV station is not the government's industry, and there is no unspoken rule of "stability overriding everything". The TV station has the right to report anything that actually happened. This provides an extra insurance for the maintenance of social justice. And this movie, just like most American movies like to spoof the president, it can't help but satirize the president, saying that he is a "complete idiot", and it also reflects that the freedom of speech in the United States can be seen and felt at any time by people. get. Only with freedom of speech can a society ensure that political filth can be exposed in time, be effectively restricted, and can be strictly restricted, and finally realize the state of "Let the people know the truth, the country can be stable" as US President Lincoln said. . That is, freedom and justice are the highest values of society, and stability is only one of the results or by-products of the realization of these values. In this film, the human cloning company's continuous indoctrination and brainwashing of prenatal education for each cloned person during the embryonic period, and the "contaminated" slander of people with independent thinking, and the vicious means of creating fear and requiring the public to isolate them. And for any clones that may produce independent thoughts or do not believe in indoctrination and brainwashing to be eliminated from the embryonic period, to all clones claim that the whole world is contaminated, and only here is the graceful lie of paradise on earth. It is a deep irony and ruthless flogging of totalitarianism in reality.
In terms of micro-personal descriptions, whether it is Lincoln's (clone) love of free thought and non-blindly obedience character, Jordan's pungent and wise, although timid, but in the end he responded to the call of justice, and sacrificed his lives to defend the two clones. McCord, or Lincoln’s childishness and double-faced character, and the cold and ruthless heart of the black Albert, but the final conscience discovery, and Dr. Merrick, a gentle hypocrite on the surface, is actually a murderer. The unblinking devil, the director's portrayal is very successful, showing the audience the complexity and change of human nature. The manifestation of justice and courage, coldness and warmth, friendship and betrayal can be described as a three-pointer, incisively and vividly. If only as "The 10th Screening Room" said, Americans do not buy the film because they are tired of watching Michael Bay’s speed and gun battles, then I have to say that American audiences are really superficial. Just like Qiankun’s roast goose dish, it would be a pity if you just think that the goose outside is too fat and too greasy, and you give up the flower bird inside. Perhaps the fate of this movie will be like "A Chinese Journey to the West". It will not be until many years before people truly understand its essence and connotation?
In this film, one character must be emphasized, and that is Lincoln (prototype). I don't think Lincoln is a bad person, as he took the initiative to remove the cloned bracelets for the two clones. And his blink of an eye, this childish expression, is definitely out of sincerity. However, people are selfish, but Lincoln had severe liver cirrhosis at this time. In order to continue to live, he had to betray the clones. The reason why McCord, who first helped clones, gave up his life at the time, was more. It is a manifestation of human moral instinct, not the result of human rational thinking. I believe that if Lincoln (the original body) was in good health at the time, he would choose to stand up and help them expose the truth in the face of his own clone, a living person. In fact, Lincoln sold the clone to ask for his own life. The choice to continue should be the choice of almost everyone-we might as well torture our conscience. If we are Lincoln and are seriously ill, our clones come to the door for help, where will we go?
In fact, there is a hidden thread in the film-the material life of the people on the clone island is not unfavourable, but they are not free, nor are they recognized as having the personality and dignity of being a human being. Are people living in this world just to lead a better material life, or should they fight for freedom, fight for personality, and live with dignity? The director gave us such a question. The answer is of course the latter. People, because of freedom and dignity, are real people, and a life without freedom and dignity will inevitably face the disaster of extinction at all times! This hidden line in this film also deserves everyone's attention and reflection.
Those who escape from the cloned island will welcome the true "holy island" of freedom and dignity. Although they have been deceived for a long time, sometimes, living in the dark is not necessarily the worst outcome.
