Small production, but fine

"The Moon" is a small production, with simple actors and simple scenes, but the plot is complicated and thought-provoking. The huge sense of loneliness, longing and gradually discovered deceptions bring people into despair. There are many tragedies of human cloning, but the fate of making and being destroyed is without exception. The implanted memory is not the main body, but because of the memory, you can live in the memory and yearning to fight against loneliness.

To live, we have to give people a dream. Therefore, clones always have Bian Island. For them, it is an imaginary paradise, a home, and the only hope to endure loneliness. However, in almost all such movies, Bian Island They are often slaughterhouses.

Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.

In this film, there is a protagonist and a robot dubbed by Kevin Spacey. The robot appears so cold at first, purely a machine, but the machine is also human, so he will protect No. 5 and help No. 6. Compared to the people in the company, Gray is obviously more humane, which is a bit ironic.

Between the 5th and the 6th, from strangeness, confrontation, to reconciliation, and hand in hand, they discovered the truth together, division of labor, one escaped, and the other took on the task of death. On the 7th, he stayed on the moon. Initially, he might not know anything, but Since the Earth-Moon communication has been restored, he will soon discover the truth, but no one knows what his fate is waiting for.

In three years of life, what sustains people in three years is the desire to return home. In the boring life of No. 5, he is still struggling to have some fun, grow flowers and plants, and carve things. He is eager and content with the present, and does not ask why, while No. 6 is full of curiosity, willing to explore, and has courage. There is also power, so in the end, he reveals the truth.

If "The Moon" is actually a projection of the real society, it seems a bit far-fetched, but indeed, how many people have worked for a vision of nothing all their lives? How many people wake up midway, and how many have been asleep all their lives?

I am thankful that I woke up.
