Free Will Romance in a Cold Experiment

Everyone has an innate frequency, and the ultra-high frequency that exceeds the average cannot get close to the low frequency, otherwise both parties will suffer misfortune, and even bring disaster to the surrounding. At first glance, it is a European and American dystopia setting similar to "Divergent" and "Sharer".

The very low frequency male lead has been doing in-depth research for many years in order to pursue the high frequency female lead, and finally, with the help of his friends, he found a specific non-existent vocabulary, which harmonized the heartbeats of the two and allowed them to spend more than a minute together. . Just when I thought it was going to set the rhythm of a nuclear romance through a strange utopia, the film suddenly became historically philosophical.

These words are actually banned secret arts, which have been used a lot in history to manipulate people's hearts and change history. And the male protagonist who was found to openly use banned words was also banned by the government, and he would be shot if he said meaningless words.

At the beginning, I was very confused about the character names such as "Curie", "Einstein", "Strauss" and so on in the film, and I was stunned when I saw it at the end. This is a large-scale tribute. The multi-perspective switching narrative makes the movie a bit dragged, but I am still amazed at the breakthrough of the plot in this typical dystopian setting. After all, the premise at the beginning is a bloody love affair, but the whole plot turned out to be a retrospective of a wonderful historical punk and a story. An experiment on whether humans have free will or not.

When Mozak's symphony plays, people will be liberated from the limitations of "books".

Free will, how romantic

Frequencies quotes

  • 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?
