The war in the future is over, the sea level rises, the rich live on dry land within high walls, and the poor live within the water city. People have lost too much in the turmoil, and reminiscing about the past has become a source of their yearning for beauty, Hugh Jackman Playing as a memory businessman, through a device (water tank), people are truly immersed in memories. The film has a good background setting and environmental atmosphere. Humidity and suspense are intertwined and run through. Under the framework of science fiction, it tells a love story with a fairy-tale sad temperament in the way of detectives. All the characters and the movie have given them different past moments, which are not only the driving force of the characters' behavior, but also the fragments of the overall story background. In terms of the roundness of the plot, the movie still lacks polishing, especially in the logic of the action scenes. It is a simple way of popcorn movies: for example, in order to let the characters enter the next scene, forcibly let the characters who do not need to escape escape, which obviously does not conform to the overall temperament of the film. In the film, water is an important carrier. To relive old memories, you need to lie in a water tank; to live comfortably, you need to escape from the water. Water not only creates a warm and romantic strange landscape, but also is an element that suppresses dampness. At the end of the movie, the male protagonist who violated the law decides to accept his sentence in the water tank, where water is not only his cage, but also the last port of his love voyage.

    I don't know anything about the main creative lineup, but I really felt like "Westworld" when I watched it, and it turned out to be true, no wonder. This film is quite to my personal taste, and even want to re-watch it. It is really unnecessary for us Chinese-speaking viewers to add Chinese to English by Wu Yanzu... But I wonder if the native speakers of other languages ​​would find it interesting? unsolved puzzle……

    In recent years, Wu Yanzu is not only a lack of use, but his acting skills are also very lack of use. If you learn from Pattinson, you can play everything, so hurry up and consider going to sea.
