Memory master?

Filomena 2022-03-22 09:01:23

"City of Souls" should be called a memory master! A seemingly ordinary life may change completely after waking up. When memories can also be implanted at will, does it mean that you are no longer necessarily you, so who are you? The story actually has a very deep core. Are people without their own memories still human? Helpless, the director did not dig deeper in this area, but focused on how the male protagonist can help humans escape the control of aliens. However, there are too many loopholes in the setting of the alien part of the plot. The rules about the motives, purposes and abilities of aliens are completely confusing, and there is no reasonable explanation for the source of the male protagonist's domineering ability! 5 points! ps: It seems that the aliens have been defeated, but it is only replaced by a human being to control the entire space!

Dark City quotes

  • 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.
