The entry point of the theme is novel, the contradiction between human cloning and ontology, the contradiction between human cloning and society, the contradiction between human nature and value. For a certain period of time, it was indeed portrayed in a deeper level of thinking. The male protagonist saw the clones who had escaped from the transplanted organs in the operating room and wanted to survive but could only be arrested. When he was dragged back, he was still longing for fantasy. Paradise Lost in China: "Didn't you say you want to take me to the mysterious island? I want to go to the mysterious island!". When the protagonist seeks her own ontology, the heroine calls the ontology to see the son of the ontology. She asks the hero: "Will she (the ontology) die? That boy looks a lot like me, doesn't she?". The male protagonist sought the help of the ontology, but the ontology reported him. When the male protagonist found out, he said, "I want to live too."
At the beginning, the male protagonist was different because he was good at thinking. Later, because of his strong curiosity, he accidentally discovered the secret that he was a clone. At this time, the sentiment that emerged made him want to save the person who was about to be replaced by the subject and was wiped out. The heroine. This theme is very good. If we continue to study the contradictions caused by this kind of cognition, and further explore the position of human cloning in human relations and social moral standards, this film will surely be successful.
The failure is that the commercial smell is too strong, and the second half is purely for visual effects, and there is basically no substantive content. The explosion of vehicles and airplanes, the action scenes during the escape, and the thick Hollywood commercials have ruined the tone of the whole movie. But this does not mean to deny the film's excellent picture, special effects, photography, and skills. One thing to mention is that when the male and female protagonists escape from the underground cloning center, in order to enhance the sense of movement and expressive tension of the picture, the photography uses a tilted lens to put the characters in a rapid movement and emphasize the atmosphere. This technique is used extensively in the description of dreams and fighting scenes later.
There are too many points in the movie, but they are not well expressed. There are too few shots that reflect the psychological changes of the characters, which makes the whole movie lack the soul. After reading it, I can only sigh that I am blinded by such a good subject.
