cute dystopia

Such as one of the scenes: being dragged forward by the obsessed person, his mind is confused, the ice surface under his feet leaves bloodstains without realizing it, but the bloodstains did not exist for a long time, just mixed with the broken ice surface without any trace That's it. //

I think although Robin Wright is good, isn't the setting of the heroine not American sweetheart? ! How can such a political face be called the "angel's face" as the broker calls it? ! //

While this film explores another possibility of utopia and dystopia, the most valuable thing is to elevate women's personal history to the same status as metaphysics, which changes the long-standing history of dystopia. This kind of cold "anti-humanity concept", that is, the future world only cares about human reproduction and does not seal emotions. It often reminds people of their own animal nature and helpless reproduction. Even if there is a certain technology that "can reproduce without sexual reproduction", but because of the necessity of its existence, it can't help but feel an inexplicable disgust. As if this kind of disgust cannot be aroused in the reader, then the plot's thinking and irony of utopia cannot be established.
But the future life of the heroine women in the film is not very different from today. Perhaps we can think that the film does not hope that chemicals will change people's ethics, or in other words, the film hopes that when ethics are completely destroyed by science, family and human relations will still exist and remain precious, and are the happiness of human beings. source.
