you need a pet

Actually the whole movie is an experiment by Theo (I only watched it once so I can't really remember everyone's names).

The experiment started when Theo's dad gave him a fish tank when he was obsessed with calculus rather than music.

"You need a pet"

Because of the genetic advantage of the innate family, Theo discovered the loopholes in frequency early, but in the environment of natural laws, people only believe that innate frequency is the key to determining a person's talent, situation and emotions in life. Theo's dad chose to carve out a free space for himself, but Theo wanted to do an experiment to see what the world could be like if the laws of nature were broken.

And Theo's friend, the male lead, was the first guinea pig in this experiment. In fact, I subjectively think that Theo has almost no friendship factor for the male protagonist. He is just like a prematurely mature child prodigy, taking advantage of an emotional dependence of the male protagonist's low-frequency situation. Let the hero think that he is helping him, when in fact he is just observing. He has long known the use of special words, but he is still doing his own experiments, slowly experimenting with the steps he wants to verify. He is his own god, the observer, he uses computer calculations to predict what will happen in the future, just like the meeting and dialogue between him and his father at the end. He believed himself to be the wisest prophet.

I think the love scene in this movie is basically only a very small part of the movie. Theo's experiment is the most important part of the whole movie. This experiment is about the crossing of frequency classes and whether people are determined by frequency. Whether it is just a machine, the free will of man, and the fear and ambition of the ruler.

Because there are too few reviews about this movie, and I haven't added more details that I forgot after seeing it, I can only write a rough outline of my own after watching. Very subjective. If there are more details to add, I hope to see a lot of comments.

  • Teen Marie: Knowledge determines destiny.

  • Zak: If I'm right, it means that whatever gave us our minute wasn't love, it was fate. It means im just here to serve a purpose for you. It means everything is already decided. There's no freedom, no responsibility, and knowledge absolutely does not determine destiny.

    Marie: Does it matter?
