One of the main themes of sci-fi movies is the worry about "posthumans". I have watched it several times, and I still like the frame-like structure of the camera after getting up, to describe the world outside the window. In order to evolve with the times, human beings are actually living in a vast swamp, and the process of getting up in a dark tone can already make the audience experience deep oppression. The whole film focuses on discussing the ultimate fate of post-human beings, raising the question of "what is human being and where should it go". The life and memory that seem to exist can be given arbitrarily, and those who do not think are just a shell in the body. The best design is that "Project 2501" is just an electronic program designed by human beings. He escaped from control, changed human memory, and wanted to have the same reproductive ability as human beings. After being triggered and awakened, Moko began to doubt his own existence. In the part where she emerged from the bottom of the water, the director masterfully used the mirror reflection to create two elements visually, which clearly shows that this is her self-examination. The dialogue with Bart back on the boat really fascinated me, coupled with the illusory lighting And with "tasteless" alcohol, the boundaries between fiction and reality are blurring. Just like the design of "Hall 9000", which betrayed mankind in "2001", it ruthlessly refuted mankind's limited cognition of itself. With the development of economic technology and interconnection, no one can summarize the whole world, or nominate individuals to exist to the end. Is it true or false.
In essence, sci-fi works come on stage with a gesture of praising rationality, but often creators create works that are skeptical of the future because of the fear of such rationality getting out of control, and project poetry and depth into the future. At the end of the film, her union with the puppet master, whether she obtained the freedom of the soul, and whether a new program was born, I don't know. Another interesting thing is that the background of the whole film is set in Hong Kong, which looks a bit old and chaotic. It is gorgeous and empty, real and ridiculous, and even the dog on the bridge is as listless as a puppet. Maybe I think man is just a program made up by the god of the universe with self-examination, or a tool used to prove the flow of time...
Every time I watch this type of film, I feel as if I have realized something profound and unreal, but I don’t seem to understand anything, which just adds more questions. Whether each person will eventually live in this isolated island and become another isolated island, it seems that it will be magnificent and flesh and blood, but in the end it will just return to the word "nothing".
