The first story of the film mainly starts with the issue of food safety. The hero and heroine who just ignited their love after a meal lost their souls instantly and became the walking dead. A rotten apple actually destroyed human civilization. The film itself has a strong sense of irony. Coupled with the unique joke lines in Korean dramas, it adds a sense of unethical reality, as if such a problem has always been Exists in real life, as if one wakes up or walks into darkness after a bite of an apple. Especially at the end of the film, the male and female protagonists meet again, but the black eyeballs seem to reflect each other, and the LCD screen behind them shows the blue sky and white clouds. True love has become a bubble, and the beauty has passed. Always remind the viewers not only to cherish the present and love you With the people you love, you must protect your only home - the earth.
The second story is probably the most difficult to understand, not only because of the Buddhist Zen language before the robot "passes away" after Nirvana, but also because some viewers questioned that this story did not involve the destruction of human beings. In fact, the director just used the words of the president in a wheelchair to predict the future of human beings. The consequences of over-reliance on high technology will inevitably lead to the degradation of human thinking, and the future where "artificial intelligence" will rule the world will soon come. . One is a robot representing cutting-edge science, and the other is a superstitious Buddhist Zen language. What exactly is the final redemption of mankind? At the end of the film, the male protagonist takes out the chip in his arm to repair the robot pet in the garbage heap. It still cannot change the reality that "robots have surpassed human intelligence".
The last story is more absurd and the most apocalyptic. Although it is also a cliché plot of a planet hitting the earth and causing human destruction, it becomes extremely ironic after adding the element of "No. 8 billiards". The little girl accidentally ordered a black 8 billiards online, hoping to make up for her mistakes, but it resulted in a tragic ending where the planet hit the earth. The black 8-ball is a very important game chip in the rules of the billiards game. In the rules, the mis-hit of the black 8-ball will directly lead to the failure of the game. Personal understanding should be that the director uses this joking technique to alert the world that a small accidental error will directly lead to the destruction of the earth, so the survival ability of human beings is actually fragile. However, the "Brave New World" that the whole family saw after they walked out of the bomb shelter at the end of the film may be the hope left by the director to the viewers, and it is also the most "positive" ending of the whole film.
If you watch the whole film again, it may be a little more thought-provoking. In this way, the director's use of absurd methods may not be a deliberate satire, but a real well-intentioned reminder. From Sandy
