Story worldview is a clichéd sci-fi setting.
The male god Keanu Reeves plays William, a doctor of science in the film. Whether in the film introduction or in many comments, he is the embodiment of devotion to love. In fact, from the perspective of the role, he did not hesitate to steal the company's property, steal the battery of the neighbor's car, or introduce his thoughts into the machine, all in order to achieve one goal - to resurrect his family. However, this is rather selfish! What is the purpose of resurrecting family members in fact? Satisfy your own selfish desires and satisfy your pained heart of losing your original family. In fact, he should not be completely decent and make people feel very sympathetic to his subsequent decision, but should make people feel that this is the consequence of making a choice.
Of course, when the above remarks are made, a new problem will be encountered. Isn't the transmission of consciousness a separate body and a clone? But in the explanation of the ending, the symbiosis between the robot and William shows that both the body and the clone are independent individuals, so it is not a transfer of consciousness, but a copy. But why do rich people still find Jones to "clone" themselves? Consciousness is not the body anymore? If the film can explain it, in fact, as long as you hide the clones, deceive him that this is a transmitted consciousness, euthanize the id, and let the clones inherit the memory of the id and continue.
Also, I have ideas for extensions. From a medical point of view, there should be a big difference between me now and the me who just came out of my mother's womb. Even if you are just comparing yourself with yourself ten years ago, even if the memory is the same and the cells are rotated, "I" shouldn't be me anymore, so who am I?
After thinking about the ethics of the protagonist William, let's think about the explanation of the character story. The big frame logic is ok. There is one that is handled particularly well, that is, there is not enough cabin space, and Zoe and her memory need to be sacrificed first, so that the story will be a bit turbulent, and the protagonist needs to take into account the feelings of his family more, so that there will be a lie to make up the story of another lie.
But there are a few points that were sloppy.
1. Although the background of the story is now, as far as the current scientific level is concerned, it may be more convincing if the background is placed in the near future. For example, the villa that I live in is a bit more sci-fi and futuristic, rather than such a modern home style. Anyway, the wife is a nurse, and the husband is a doctor of science. There should be some smart things in the family (even now), even if you don't want to configure it, you can use the conversation between William and his colleague Ed to explain - I don't like to use technology. Bring to life and other explanations to make the characters and backgrounds a little more vivid.
2. It gave the audience a lot of foreshadowing of Jones. The director Jones already knew what Will was doing behind his back, and also mentioned that he must have helped the protagonist deal with the internal affairs of the company, so that William could continue to complete the "experiment". But since there are so many foreshadowings, what eyes, questioning and dialogue, etc., but there is no explanation for the supervisor to arrange some actions to assist Jones' "experiment", for example, what is arranged in the company? Also, with normal logic, the police are not fools. If you adjust the surrounding surveillance or the 24-hour driving recorder of a certain car, Will can be captured. If the confession company actually helped pay for the battery and settle the police, at least when Jones went to the William's house to confront these words, it would make the story fuller and more logical.
3. Anyway, William is a doctor, why is his logical thinking ability so poor? Scientists, geeks and geeks, even if they have a soft spot for family, they shouldn't abandon all logical causes and consequences. Yes, accidents happen suddenly. But there is time to think about it.
①The huge machine was stolen from the company like this. It is still a company that integrates technology and military industry. I am not saying that the security is not good. I can only say that these two people do not consider the possibility of being discovered. (Of course, maybe I didn't look carefully enough. Anyway, Ed "carried in" the body and "lent" the space, and he didn't think the company would find out. Although the company did it intentionally, the two scientists should have thought of it. A better way to deal with it to avoid future troubles) For example, it can be handled as, choose a secret unmonitored location for experiments and overtime (since the body can be transported to an unmonitored location, and the company already knows that the environment is better , you don't even need extra batteries, you just need to think about how to bring the experimental person home in the end, and since it is a real person, it will be more convenient to go out). It is also possible to have a brain hole, destroy the security system and then put the experimental equipment into operation, and disguise the damage as a simple accident or the like.
②Although I'm looking forward to some different breakdowns or mood swings in the family after knowing Zoe exists, and then some conflict with William. But no, the two little guys didn't explain it at all, because they didn't know or felt what happened, they were just scared. After his wife Mona found out, she fluctuated for a few seconds, her attitude changed slightly, and then she accepted the setting in seconds. Wow! If I knew I was a memory-transporting clone, I'd definitely feel like I needed a little more ink to describe my tangled state of mind rather than move on.
③Ed, you died so miserably! And that's it. Ed: "I'm just a good kid who helps others". Director, you have exchanged weights, Ed has helped you so much, you have the heart to let him end like this. Even if it ends like this, I will commemorate and thank you later, deal with family affairs, etc., or secretly resurrect him, let him appear in a normal capacity, and let the audience make up their own minds (delete his death and Will related to Will) memory), for example, on the beach, arrange a meeting between them, William smiled at Ed, Ed also smiled politely to avoid embarrassment, and then introduced Will to appear with little Zoe, a long shot, and a happy ending.
After complaining, think about the male god, it makes sense that he can act vividly, the death of a close friend, the stillbirth of the lover's baby, the leukemia of the younger sister, as a successful non-scientist actor, it is still quite miserable and very sad, so This role, from the perspective of family, is suitable for him, he has the right to speak, he can definitely play it, although there are doubts in some places, is it really so tense here? Should there be more thought? But the emotions are real, which is still very moving.
So, how do I think it is more suitable for male gods? Either the male god is split into three people, a scientist and a friend. One is the scientist's close relative. Give the scientist a reason, and the close relative must let the scientist help him; since Ed is so difficult to deal with, or simply two people, ordinary people and scientists, but need Explain why the supervisor will assist the scientist to complete the experiment and keep the experimental body, so the ordinary person will have the essence of love, and because he does not know the essence of cloning, so the love is more simple; and the scientist is the combination of Ed and part of Will body, and there will be changes in character. I'm sorry, my brain is wide open, haha!
After writing so much, now I want to learn what the teacher used to say. In fact, you can be better (no, more beautiful)!
