Forever cross-examination

Where do we come from and where we go are two basic human issues. For the latter, we almost have the answer, but for the former, it has always been a force in the human heart. The author wrote this book more than a hundred years ago, and it is still the same perplexity and shock to read it today. The love for movies actually comes more from the respect for the original works. The confusion about the past is a theme of the film. The other is the questioning of technology. Technology is a double-edged sword that allows humans to expand in themselves. Using technology to create humans was an illusion in the past, but it may become a reality now or in the near future. What a terrible future this will be. To look for the past of mankind is to look for the nature of mankind, but also to look for the future of mankind.
