incest? Thoughts on clones; and some rants

After watching Womb, I thought and confused about incest and human clones, and complained about Rebecca's love and the unreasonableness of the story.


Little Tommy finally made peace with Rebecca after learning the truth. Some commented, this is incest, right? In fact, Rebecca has no blood relationship with little Tommy, she is just a surrogate.
Why did little Tommy act like this in the end?
My understanding is from love. This kind of love comes from love that transcends family affection. When little Tommy subdued Rebecca in play when he was young, he could see that he had a tenderness that transcended family affection for his so-called mother, a kind of longing. The intimacy of skin-to-skin rippling in the air. Chandler in "Six Men" said that what made him feel so guilty was that his mother's face appeared in his mind when he was jerking off.
Generally speaking, there is only a "skin intimacy" ditch between the heart-to-heart kinship and love.
When little Tommy realizes that he has no blood relationship with the mother in front of him, his inner longing for Rebecca is released.

But why did little Tommy leave Rebecca in the end?
My understanding is out of a sense of independence. Little Tommy is not big Tommy. He has his own experiences and ideas. He wants to leave Rebecca to live his own life. His existence is by no means to satisfy Rebecca.

"Independence", that's how I feel about clones.
Cloning is just a genetic duplication. Tommy and Tommy in the Womb are genetically identical, but they live in
very different times and environments. Because of these differences, little Tommy did not end up staying with Rebecca as a lover like big Tommy. ——In fact, from this perspective, little Tommy is also an independent person different from big Tommy, and the environment creates a new Tommy.
Since the birth of cloning technology, public opinion has hated human clones very much. I have not been able to figure it out. What is the reason for their hatred?
Watching Womb, I was thinking, big and small Tommy as a natural and a clone, their biggest difference is their origin of life. Big Tommy was the product of the union of his parents, and his genetic formation was the random result of natural selection—or, rather, the inevitable result of divine selection. The birth of little Tommy is based on science and technology without the combination of his parents. His gene formation is the inevitable product of human subjective choice.
Perhaps, against human cloning is against the willfulness of human beings and the desecration of nature? Hmmmm~ It's possible~


Some people praise Rebecca's great love. I want to say that her love for big Tommy is limited, but her love for little Tommy is unlimited.
Big Tommy is strongly opposed to human cloning, and for this reason he also planned to go to the human cloning base to instigate rebellion. But Rebecca finally chose to use this method to bring Tommy back to her again. Her love for Tommy was missing the same values.
Yunmei in "Four Generations Together" is faced with a choice in suffering. She will make a choice based on Ruixuan's position. She always says: If we are Ruixuan, he will definitely... Some people say that this is the loss of self , but this is indeed a model of two in one.
I said, she loves little Tommy more. Before Tommy's mother appeared, she tried to protect little Tommy from him knowing that she was a clone; in little Tommy's love affair, she tried to suppress her love for Tommy, accepting him and his girlfriend, accepting the betrayal in her own eyes .


Finally, what I want to complain about is the unreasonable plot design.
At the end of the movie, Rebecca showed the big Tommy's photo album to the little Tommy, and the little Tommy immediately realized the fact that he was a clone. But I want to ask, Rebecca set the role of big Tommy as little Tommy's father, so little Tommy has never seen a picture of his "father"? The curiosity about my father is limited to asking my mother, "How did my father die?" This. . . It's a bit ridiculous~ It's not common sense.
Also, there was little Tommy's childhood friend who didn't come to his birthday party. Friends and parents all know that he is a clone and no longer communicates? Now that he knows, why hasn't anyone told little Tommy the truth? I don't understand.
Hey~ This... I can't even complain anymore... All I


can say is that this is really just a movie to watch casually.
