Depressed cult movie

As someone who doesn't watch movies, I watched this old movie yesterday because of a friend's recommendation, and I feel that it is not as good as people say. The atmosphere of the whole movie is suppressed to the bone, even if the long-lost sunshine and the legendary seashell beach finally appeared, the suppressed situation seems to have not changed.
where is the problem? The short sunshine at the end of the film is also an illusion created by the protagonist with his thoughts. In the long-range shot, the city is still an orphan in the universe, far away from other planets, and further away from the former hometown of the people living in the city. And the source of sunshine and shell beach is nothing but the memory of the protagonist. On the premise that memories can be transplanted at will, and no one can guarantee that those memories have not been mixed or missed, so the so-called Shell Beach, outside the city of moving souls, really existed somewhere in the universe? ? have no idea. If the protagonist's memory has been tampered with "shit heaven" before, then the ending is that everyone continues to live in shit heaven.
So this ending makes no sense at all. But the final episode of Shell Beach caused some thought. It is also the problem of the brain in the bowl. We ourselves are unable to prove that the earth we live in now, our own past, really existed. Then everything points to a depressing ending - the world is an illusion, isn't it. That's why I feel depressed. I'm not even sure if I actually saw the movie or if someone injected the "I saw this movie" memory last night.
It is also worth mentioning that the failure of the Soul Shifting City experiment was entirely due to the lack of alien technology. I remember that the police officer once said that the heroine was not used to wearing a ring. This is an irrelevant matter. After all, the aliens only modified the software and did not modify the hardware to match the software. It is normal to be unaccustomed to wearing a ring. (If the aliens are more careful, they should also consider the compatibility of software and hardware.) What is more concerning is that the heroine said that she seems to be unfamiliar with her husband, if the aliens are really 100% realized Without the copy and paste of memory, this phenomenon is impossible. If it is not a bug in the film, there can only be two logical ways of understanding: 1. The alien technology is not good enough, and the memory cannot be completely erased. 2. Apart from the brain and memory, human beings have other supernatural storage functions that aliens don’t know, and we don’t even know about ourselves. The so-called superpowers or subconscious minds are all deifications of human beings.
Therefore, the aliens have stood in a very tragic position from the beginning, either because of their own incompetence, or they are simply facing a god-like race with the halo of the protagonist, such scumbag aliens, no wonder they want to go extinct.
Some douyou commented that the aliens reflect the panic of oriental culture or centralized culture. I think this is something in the subconscious of Laomei. Even if it is not intentional, it will be revealed more or less naturally. But in the end, of course, the almighty human being inexplicably defeated the poor alien. Although the hero is a mutant who has been alienated.
This film is chaotic in logic and full of loopholes, trying to use lame methods to confuse the audience to pretend to force. It was given to Samsung because of the depressing feelings and thoughts that the final ending brought to people. If it is a deliberately arranged appearance, the actual connotation is infinite, then it will be a god.

  • John Murdoch: I was just thinking, what you do seems kind of dangerous right now. I mean, how do you know I'm not the killer?

    May: I don't. Why, you feeling any urges I should know about?

  • John Murdoch: When was the last time you remember doing something during the day?

    Inspector Frank Bumstead: What do you mean?

    John Murdoch: I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something, I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here.
