Resurrection and immortality are ancient topics, and they are always linked to ominousness in the film. If artificial humans completely expose their evil nature in order to obtain the flesh, then those natural humans are also not afraid to tear away the benevolence, righteousness and morality for this and that purpose. coat.
However, it is difficult for us to ask who is right and who is wrong! Just like the dropper of the atomic bomb, destroying a group of innocents in exchange for the survival of another group of innocents, before the end of human cannibalism, all justice and morality are swaying like fallen leaves, and the only justice lies in winning one's own soul. peaceful.
I was impressed by the two-act plot:
"You kid is so cruel," Rust said before Ed's questioning. This figure gives a glimpse into the inner world of the artificial man. Imagine the characteristics of artificial humans, slaves of red stone, puppets of memory, and eternal curse of out-of-body souls. What else can people pursue in such a situation?
The two armored brothers in the Institute of Horrors are in the opposite situation. Their souls have become prisoners in the armor and are imprisoned in the real world indefinitely. After completing the task, the decisiveness and intoxication of the younger brother when he committed suicide is shocking.
Two unbelievable extreme states, but the parties showed unexpected rationality, but in retrospect they were so natural. Isn't this the so-called human nature?
The sage's stone is the clue to the story. In alchemy, this thing is roughly equivalent to "atomic energy". It is very useful, and of course there is a lot of trouble. For the natural man, miracles can be created; for the artificial man, the body and soul can be obtained; for the two lovers, the immortality of the soul can be maintained. The raw materials for the Sage's Stone uphold the principle of equivalent exchange, but its effect is not satisfactory (the "passivation of the soul" is impressive), but the suffering of the two brothers has created no small miracle. Perhaps immortality and immortality have never been a goal worth pursuing, and the process is the true meaning of life.
This is a thought-provoking work.
