When John took Bernard back and punched Henry and happily joined the group P, I finally found out what was wrong with the drama version of Brave New World:
The social system in the original novel is flawless, making people desperate. They want to shout, but they can't make a sound when their throat is broken.
To put it bluntly, this is a cool drama, and it is no different from the feelie in the novel.
It's no better to look at it as a new story than the original.
The world view is in a mess. If Indra wants to achieve the happiness of all mankind through brain death, is it not good to control everyone to commit suicide with a snap of fingers like Thanos?
None of the characters in the show, except Bernard, are logically self-consistent, and everyone inexplicably does all sorts of puzzling behaviors to push the plot in a more puzzling direction.
Is it really possible for Epsilon to know what "freedom" means? Does the word exist in the New World dictionary? Even if there is, even if you can understand, the boss pays you money every day, you eat soma happily 996, a silly boy comes over and throws a cup and you suddenly decide to pick up an iron rod and stab your boss to death?
The screenwriter forced the people in the play to be unhappy. What reason does the heroine have to be unhappy? Everyone's unhappiness is like a child pouting and getting angry. There is no reason to be unhappy, just to beat, smash, rob and burn, and then what? I don't know, I don't have an idea, let's smash it first.
When the lens is smashed, the exciting music rushes out, and I am very moved, as if this action has any great significance. In fact, nothing's at steak at all, it makes me feel embarrassed to have cancer.
Americans don’t understand the social body at all, they don’t understand Brave New World, they only know that collectivism is bad, it’s especially bad, and they don’t even understand where it’s bad, just wash and sleep, act your level, don’t pretend to understand.
