reflects the process of how a Chinese doctoral student scholar who studied in the United States approached the murderer of the campus shooting case.
Liu Ye's character, Lu Xing, is a very typical Chinese student. The following traits may be found in most international students.
First, the family is poor. Lu Xing's father is a state-owned coal miner, and his mother seems to be a worker in a textile or laundry factory. In short, both parents are typical Chinese state-owned enterprise workers. Both parents pin their hopes for a better life on this only son, and even don't forget to send food to his son in the United States. Parents' care and infinite hope for their sons are the epitome of many Chinese families.
Second, Lu Xing's status in the United States. He is a researcher under a famous professor, or a doctoral student. It can be said that such Chinese people can be found everywhere not only in major schools in the United States, but also in the whole world. There are Chinese doctoral students in the vast majority of laboratories in the world. They make a living by studying and researching to obtain a doctoral diploma. A very typical appearance feature is a pair of thick glasses hanging under the long-term untreated hair, blocking a pair of persistent and focused eyes, a plain clothes and jeans that have been rarely ironed. This is also a relatively unified feature of a bunch of Chinese doctoral students in the film. Of course, there is another characteristic that makes us a little ashamed. When we see free food from the church, we rush to rush to something for fear of falling behind. These are typical Chinese (or Chinese) characteristics, but It definitely shouldn't be called insidious.
As for Lu Xing played by Liu Ye, in fact, the character's own personality is worth exploring.
This person was originally a "nerd" in Chinese parlance. Concentrating on studying one's own subject, completing the professor's task on time, and respecting the professor's etiquette are all manifestations of traditional Chinese concepts. And no matter how good or bad one's situation is, the practice of only reporting safety in the letter at home is not just the work of one or two Chinese students. It can be said that he is a good boy in the traditional sense. But when it develops to the limit, it becomes a person who carries a heavy burden and is extremely paranoid. This burden can be said to be added by his parents, or it can be said to be added by himself. Linked to the name of the movie, it can also be said that a secret concept is imposed on a person.
Melistreep can only be regarded as a supporting actress in this movie. I don't see too much interaction between her and Lu Xing, and it's more about Lu Xing's state through her reflection.
I think what the film wants to express may also be about the trade-off between dreams and reality. Lu Xing's dream (ideal) is his persistent research, but in the face of reality, there are always so many imperfections or human factors hindering progress. After his doctoral degree, he did not choose to return to China to work in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, nor did he choose to work in the company with the help of Joanna. These few opportunities to save himself and everyone were lost because of his paranoia and his inability to keep his head down. Of course this is just a movie, and real life is far more complicated than a movie. While pursuing a simple life, people must properly grasp the choice between dreams and reality.
Dark matter, which exists in galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and perhaps between clusters of galaxies, cannot be directly observed and can be detected by its gravitational effects. It really has ulterior motives to use the study of such a subject as the main line of this film. Our lives must be affected by something unseen, either driving you to success or pressing you to ruin. Subjective, it can be human desire, objective, it can be the interaction between people and things. Although this is not dark matter in the true sense of cosmology, the movie uses this definition to express the relationship between various things. It can only be said that we live in a complex world, and nothing exists alone, but affects and depends on each other.
