Does character determine fate or fate makes character?

"Moving Soul City" (Evil! This translated name is really evil!) is the vane of soft science fiction movies, and it has influenced many future science fiction movies that focus on philosophical speculation, ethics and humanities, such as "Thirteenth Staircase" and "The Matrix." Little J doesn't pee, each has its own way, and the reason is similar to tricking a girl into going to bed. "The Matrix" is a hard science fiction movie. The Wachowski brothers are rich in wealth and want to be hard. Even sensory animals can be satisfied; the heir of another branch "Thirteenth Staircase" needs to deepen its own connotation and thinking. Too hard, those sentimental girls can't stand the fangs and sharp mouths and obediently submit to them.

In fact, stripping off the shell of science fiction, these films try to explore three questions: First, what do people think of people? Is it the accumulation of rich life experience or the personality that distinguishes it from others? ; Second, how to confirm a person’s sense of existence? Is it a sensory confirmation or a spiritual identity? ; Third, how to eliminate class antagonism?

The idea of ​​"Moving Soul City" is very flexible. It is nothing more than two opposing classes. The upper class uses brainwashing to use and paralyze the lower class, and the lower class awakens and leads the resistance. Therefore, if the two parties in the conflict are set as aliens and earthlings as experimental objects, then it is a sci-fi movie, which is nothing more than a science fiction element with high-tech mind control; if set as a slave owner and a slave, it is a magical epic, nothing more than a magician. The magical element of mind control; if it is the five-star red flag and the egg under the red flag, then it is a documentary, nothing more than the time-keeping element of Mind Control of Hee Hee TV.

What do people think? The aliens in "The City of Moving Souls" prove the existence of human "soul" by exchanging the experiences of people on the earth. It is not so much a soul as a spirit and nature. The conclusion of the movie is that nature is hard to change. But this has fallen into an infinite cycle of "the egg or the chicken first". Does character determine fate or fate molds character? Some people may say that a baby is a blank piece of paper, and acquired experience will shape the character. However, some scientists have also argued that the chromosomes of some perverted murderers are usually defective, so the surly character is predestined, so the destiny of the acquired will also develop according to the trend. This problem can be understood in this way. Take a single-line analysis: Suppose that Manson's congenital chromosomes are defective, but those who are defective may not necessarily turn into homicides. For example, there is a normal and warm family environment and a rational education and growth environment. But the gene defect of the average murderer is inherited from his father or his mother. Can Manson's fucking character provide him with a normal and warm family environment and a rational education and growth environment? So the hypothesis has changed from two to four. Going forward, what about the fucking personality and experience of Manson... It can be assumed that Manson fucking... His mother was originally genetically normal, but it may be caused by sudden wrong medicine or radiation. Gene mutations are defective, and the next generation will inherit, but the mother who has the normal gene may give the child with the abnormal gene a normal environment, so he will be pushed back to Manson. He became a murderer because he was born destined or nurtured. become? So the conclusion given in "Moving Soul City" is a bit too sloppy. One last word, Manson fucking!

"Moving Soul City" also discusses the other two issues, how to confirm the sense of human existence? The aliens in the movie are on the verge of genocide due to their high degree of unity and lack of individuality, so they devote themselves to studying the people on earth. This is easy to understand. For example, in the plot of "1984", such solitary behavior as XXOO must "Old brother is watching you!" The situation of aliens in "Moving Soul City" is even more extreme. All aliens have a unified mind or even a single brain. This means that if Mr Pennis has a soft spot for Miss Pussy (it seems that the title of Miss is not mentioned in the film, nor whether its aliens reproduce bisexually, so reproduction is just an example, not specific), then Mr Ball ,Mr Hand,Mr Ass...will act in unison to have a relationship with Miss Pussy, while the rest of Miss Boobs, Miss Nipple...are all left unattended. It seems that aliens dedicated to the spiritual realm have evolved to a higher level than earthlings entangled with emotions and desires. But it has taken the path of self-destruction, and in turn uses the earthlings. Therefore, it can only be said that human existence requires a balance between physical and spiritual. For example, Saint Zhu pays attention to "save the principles of nature and eliminate human desires", but if everyone has eliminated human desires, then everyone is a god of cook, or there is no one at all. What a god of cook. Everyone has the principles of nature, and there is no one to take care of the desire to eat, drink, and sleep. The saints eventually become dead.

How to eliminate class antagonism? The ending of the movie is a happy reunion, justice triumphs over evil, and the oppressed people become the masters of their homes. But I think the director obviously has something to do with the setting of the male pig's foot John. John eliminated the aliens with his own power, and gained the power of the god of creation. But in the end, he didn't lead the earth people back to their homeland, but continued to live in an illusion. How will John manage this batch of "4400" in the future? What if someone else asks not only for the sun, the coast, but for that big coin to install two rocket ejectors to return to Earth? Can John be willing to belong to his temple? What can I do? Continue to suppress in accordance with the ideas of aliens? It's not that I am infinitely expanding, referring to history, princes and generals, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Don't forget each other if you are rich and honorable. Qi said no clothes, and the same robe... just a slogan. Therefore, class can never be eliminated, as long as a person's spiritual power cannot suppress physical desires, and the spirit evolves to a higher level, it is easy to lead to self-destruction.

Finally, talk about the sci-fi element in "Moving Soul City": the power of mind. Killing with eyes is really lack of expressiveness, which is why I give 1 star less. However, it is very forward-looking to highlight the high level of spiritual evolution. From this I think of a joke: a Taoist monk lectures, saying that he can cultivate his mind and cultivate his nature so that he can even use his mind to achieve his wishes. Someone at the bottom asked, then I want to see how much mental power Yang Gongru needs to take off his clothes? The monk replied that it only takes 100W people to think about 100 years. The 130-year-old Yang Gongru... But it’s interesting to think about it. If 100W people think about 100 years, then it’s enough for 100 million people to think about it for a year, but if 100 million people really think about it for a year If you want to see Yang Gongru undress, then Yang Gongru will definitely take it off. Why? This is called the law of the market, and the hanging point is called the law of historical development.


PS: Rufus Sewell looks too much like a clean T-bag.

    The sky is the limit! In it, I saw the shadow of "The Matrix" and even "The Truman World". It's a little procrastinated (it may also be the translation of the version I read is wrong), some of the dialogues are a little mentally retarded, and the behavior of the aliens lacks logic. I laughed when I saw Erlang Shen use Turtle Wave in the end..
