This film is directed by Nicole Kidman and 007 Daniel Craig. I think if it is not for the names of these two people, the viewability of this film may have to be cut in half again. After all, strictly speaking, the most criticized thing about this film is that it is neither sci-fi enough nor thrilling enough, and it is said that the drama barely passes the test. But for Nicole Kidman's sake, fans might consider taking a look.
The plot is about the crash of the spaceship, and it seems to bring back some unknown creature from the universe, and this magical cellular creature will start to devour and assimilate your cells while you are sleeping, turning it into a useless creature. Emotional response, a human being who does things in a clear-cut, decisive and rational(?) manner. Like a cold, it can be spread through droplets, but also through injections of bodily fluids.
Most people didn't care at first, and the government only told the people: it's just the flu, don't worry. But it only takes one night to complete the transformation, and the infection method is the most difficult to prevent droplets, and the entire city has already fallen in an instant.
People infected by alien creatures seem to have changed from "individuals" to "groups", with the same consciousness and perception, and a collective subconscious that can be used as well as individual will. They will continue to de-assimilate humans who have not yet been infected.
But what's really scary is that these aliens won't eat you except infecting you. They will only make you sleep. After waking up, you find that you feel as if you feel the positive energy that society brings to you, and then abandon your "self". Be a good citizen who serves everyone. Even based on the premise of collective interests, human beings who have lost their emotions no longer hold strong prejudices. In addition to facial paralysis, it can be said that after infection, you will become a good young man with excellent conduct and three views.
There is no need to have superfluous personal thoughts and thinking, because it is unnecessary; eradicate all bad and life-threatening weapons and sources of information, because that is too evil; closely monitor all the uninfected people, it is bound to bring all harmful countries and All things in human life are removed, and I think this is where this film is both magical and terrifying.
The second half of the film is the story of the heroine who is unwilling to give in and assimilate, and can only keep running with the hope of being one (son), and cannot sleep. If the title of the film is changed to Never Sleep, it might be closer to the film. Moderately.
But does such a beautiful utopia exist? I think the answer is no, because where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and some people even say that: the nature of communication media is bloodthirsty. It's not because the media is bloodthirsty, it's just that we spectators like the weird bloodthirsty stuff, don't we? People are perfect because they are not perfect, because they make mistakes, there will be joys and sorrows, and there will be various emotions of pain and resistance. These are all symbols of us as human beings. Among them, the pursuit of a certain "freedom" is also innate to people. So no matter how beautiful the world and vision these alien creatures advocate, he is ultimately too perfect and lacks human flavor.
Like the lines at the end of the movie
"People will commit crimes under certain conditions. If the world changes, all crises are no longer evolving into new crises, and the news no longer reports bloody news, then human beings are still human beings?"
I don't think so, because all thoughts have their own place, which is a pure land that no one can rule.
we are born free
