Is near science fiction really possible?
Clair 2022-03-21 09:01:19
A near-sci-fi movie, the technology in it is not very advanced, if any cloning technology develops, human cloning transactions are really possible. The immortality that the ancient emperors pursued by all generations might really become a reality. Science will one day transcend the realm of gods, treating people as insurance for adults and money as an extension of life. One day, the only fairness between the rich and the poor in this world will be broken. The rich will master the world and the poor will become slaves. This kind of fear is vividly expressed in the film, and the holy island in the clone's heart is actually death. What a irony. Other plots are just to cater to the heroic dreams of Americans. A clone saves all clones. Such a story is clichéd. This film has a little less commercial atmosphere and a little more fear and thinking about future technology. Perhaps it is a magical film. 20120712

Merrick: [putting microsensors in Lincoln Six-Echo's eyes] Don't worry, it's painless.
Lincoln Six-Echo: [in pain] It hurts.
Merrick: [nonchalant] Not really.
Lincoln Six-Echo: Yeah, it does.
Merrick: No it doesn't.
Lincoln Six-Echo: Yeah, it really, really does.
Merrick: [after all microsensors went under Lincoln Six-Echo's eyes] The microsensors will move along your optic nerve. They will be uploading readings over the next 24 hours, after which you will pass them through your urine. Now *that* might hurt.
