The sci-fi nature of the movie "Morgan"
is actually not strong, because it means "transforming people". On the basis of human embryos, nanotechnology is used for genetic modification to forge a kind of "superman", which grows faster and has stronger strength. Brains are smarter. This may be a direction for the future of human beings (after all, in order to adapt, but in the film it is regarded as a "product developed by a large company". It should be said that the scientific conception is relatively simple, and there is nothing new. So the focus of the film is not This is about exploring people's emotions.
Obviously, although the previous research on No. 3 was successful, the people produced lacked "emotion" and had no "feelings". Therefore, we only studied No. 5, but there was also a problem with No. 5. That is emotional control. Because after the 5 went out to contact the natural world, there was a lot of interest, and then scientists debated whether to expand the space for activities. And because the 5 has emotions, he is angry at the restriction of his actions, which may be caused by The speed of growth, physical strength and brain power increased, and her emotions were also magnified, so much that she injured a scientist's eye. When No. 5 was evaluated by a psychiatrist, she even killed the psychiatrist on the spot (as the psychiatrist did during the evaluation). , trying to stimulate No. 5, the purpose is to detect her expression of anger, because someone wants to imprison her, she is a human being, so it is strange that she is not angry. But if you are angry enough to kill the other party, then your emotions are out of control). When No. 5 knew that her mother (the scientist in charge of the research) was not her biological mother, and that she was a man-made monster, her self-consciousness aroused even more anger towards the scientists. So she almost killed them all, leaving only the one The scientist who insisted on taking her out with her. And No. 3, who came to the laboratory as a risk assessor sent by the headquarters, is actually a guy with no emotions. So although she may not have the strength and brain of No. 5, she is In the end, No. 5 was killed. And all the other scientists were silenced. Why? Obviously, this is not the order, but her IQ. She knows that if everything is destroyed, then No. 3 will be mass-produced, and she will get better Great freedom, and their compatriots can rule the world. However, investors actually thought that No. 3 was stable and obedient, more successful than No. 5, and must be mass-produced; they ignored the greater danger.
In the film, the scientists knew that No. 5 was a failed product, but they were reluctant to kill her, and in turn she killed her. I think this part is worth thinking about. It is clear that scientists are the "mother" of the 5, because the 5 is not only the life they created, but also accompanied her to grow up, just like the mother in the real world; not only that, the 5 is also their spiritual and ideological " Creation", just like the artist spends his life to create a work of art, so one of the directors in the film even chooses to hang himself after learning that No. 5 is going to be destroyed. However, the relationship between parents and children, especially children who surpass their parents, is naturally incapable of being controlled or guided by parents, so the creation of "superhumans" by human beings is tantamount to parents raising children who are much smarter than themselves, expecting children to be good to themselves , that really has to be done with conscience. But in the "evolved" human beings, it is extremely possible whether the emotions will be amplified, whether they will get out of control, and go deviated. Just like children are to their parents. 16.12.14
