Not a bad movie. Although I didn't like the "artistic" editing and dangling scenes at the beginning of this movie, I still insisted on watching it. The story of the whole movie is still good. Let me take a swipe here, dig a little deeper, and see what it says in the end? Roughly straight-line plot (including spoilers) A line of the movie's story is as follows:
A young scientist has discovered that a star in the Milky Way is about to collapse into a black hole, emitting Earth-destroying rays. So he found a doctor, hoping to save mankind through some kind of experiment, and this was their plan.
This doctor was originally a member of a secret organization that produced some kind of genetic weapon (transforming human DNA). For various reasons, he left the organization or was not accepted. He chose to complete this plan to save mankind with young scientists, or an unknown plan.
Together with the young scientist and a female assistant, he set out to search for a DNA-matching subject in the vast sea of people. In the end, they found the experimental object, the male protagonist. They carried out high-tech optical implants for the male protagonist, similar to the so-called "brain control", so they could transmit voices from thousands of miles and take images in front of their eyes, thus controlling the male protagonist's body and mind, and even his family, work and everything.
In the end, the experiments that the Ph.D. and young scientists hoped to be accomplished were accomplished through inhumane means. That is, the male protagonist completed the ultimate evolution of the human body and became the protection field of the earth, saving mankind, or at least saving his family. Well, after talking about the outline of the story, let's talk about other things. When human beings are abandoned by the universe, can human beings save themselves? First of all, the earth will be destroyed. "If God doesn't save us, I will create myself." (Note the sentence at the beginning, there is a small word below: unknown) Secondly, human beings are intelligent beings "created" by the universe, and the human body itself is also a small universe, or Contains cosmic properties. So as long as the potential of the human body is stimulated, it is theoretically possible to create a universe, not to mention dealing with mere rays of destruction. So the sci-fi logic of the movie seems to stand up to scrutiny. Who is the chosen one? So what kind of person can be this selected person? One requirement is to match the DNA, which is clearly stated in the movie, and the other is to match the human nature, which is why the male protagonist has been monitored and manipulated all the time. Follow-up experiments were not started until he was angry with his daughter's boyfriend. It can be said that DNA is hardware and personality is software. To love hardware we can't decide, let's look at software. The movie starts with all kinds of memories. There's a beach frolick where the protagonist tells his daughter that I love you by the twinkling lights in the lighthouse. In the middle of the movie, there is a plot of the male protagonist returning home. It can be seen that the male protagonist originally had a happy family full of love. There is also an entrustment before the death of the wife, asking the male protagonist to protect the family. But after the death of his wife, the male protagonist chose to escape and fell. In the movie, it is said to have given up on the family. But then he chose to stand up again and give his daughter a gift (the gift was a stone that the daughter gave to her father when she was a child to make her father powerful) in order to seek forgiveness, and hoped to help the second daughter Rhea (Yin Guang) who was also addicted to drugs. named one). Later, he was "brain-controlled" by a secret organization to carry out a series of "crimes" that he did not want. This is another logic of the film: the lighthouse is a guiding light. That flickering light tells people to have love and protect their homeland, which is consistent with the theme of the entire movie protecting the homeland of the earth. It is only when the male protagonist finally sees the ray of destruction, he may really understand the secret that controls him. the intention of the organization. The movie hides the line of the young scientist, which creates suspense. In fact, he is the "big mouth" who talks to the doctor at the beginning of the movie. He is actually lurking in the male protagonist's daughter. "Spy" around. Everything is a game arranged by him. The whole experimental process is also full of inhumanity. The contempt for the lives of all kinds of passers-by, the physical and psychological torture of the male protagonist. This involves a problem. Whether it is to sacrifice some people to save everyone, or to embrace justice and kindness, everyone will die. The movie tells us to choose to take care of the overall situation. The "destined page" text that the young scientist read when he dropped the book in the library illustrates this point. The fateful text reads: "No matter how bad the situation is during infection, the protective function of apoptosis kills toxic cells before they can spread, protecting other healthy cells. This act of self-sacrifice not only stops the virus The proliferation of the whole organism also saves the whole organism" (I think the translation of this letter group is terrible, but the general meaning is understandable) For the whole organism, he has to sacrifice himself. So together with the neurotic doctor and the female assistant, the three of them looked very great in the end. And the male protagonist is a seed they cultivated to save the world. Conclusion In fact, many sci-fi films are talking about human nature in the coat of sci-fi. I think these kinds of movies are more engaging than pure VFX sci-fi movies.
