I do not like

Crappy love movie. My personal aesthetic is that sci-fi movies don't necessarily have to describe grand scenes, but at least they can be small and big. If you just want to tell a rough love story, many other backgrounds can also provide the soil needed for this conflict, such as the strict European Middle Ages, the bottom society of India, and the Middle East today. The meaning of the sci-fi background setting is to tell the audience that the protagonist suffers from SOS disease and is divided into minority groups by society, and that's it. The main point is to talk about the vulgar love of the protagonist, but it is not good enough. They weren't taken away by the authorities like the cotton-clad man and woman in the title sequence just because they were the protagonists, I didn't see any protest or anything like that. Alas, maybe my standards for sci-fi and romance movies have been raised.

What is commendable is the director's use of light and shadow.

    Three-and-a-half stars, Twilight Girl's dark circles are too serious, but the picture design is really good. As for the story, it was wonderful ten years ago, and now there are too many of the same type.

    The film creates an avant-garde yet realistic sense of technology, but at the same time reduces the use of CG special effects as much as possible, and simply goes to Asia to find live shooting, such as Keppel Bay Reflection Garden in Singapore, Awaji Island Dream Stage designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, ​​etc., rather than Europe. , Take Asia, as if to correspond to the belief that the axis of the future will shift from the West to the East.

Equals quotes

  • Gilead: I don't believe all the research. Feelings engender feelings. SOS isn't even a disease, that's what they say. Switched off is something they do to us between conception and birth. SOS is who we really are and the inhibitors are just another attempt to squash that.

  • Nia: Dominic, FYI, the article is finished.

    Dominic: You gave it to me already, I'm working on it right now.

    Nia: No, the one after this, on the extraction of superfluids from neutron stars. No pressure.
