Science fiction films do not necessarily have gorgeous stunt fights and novel high-tech, but they must have reasonable, ingenious and thought-provoking logic. Twelve monkeys, this man is from the earth, The Matrix, the Terminator...all have created a brand new The world breaks our current life patterns and logic, and from the perspective of the future, it is by no means empty talk.
The Twelve Monkeys focus on the contradiction between human and animal existence, interspersed with complex time and space transitions, the protagonist's psychological tendency to violence, and the mental disorder in the transitions again and again, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The end of the story repeats the beginning, making us realize that the whole movie is just a reincarnation, and at a deeper level, we also learn that human beings cannot change the future, everything is a fact that has happened.
When it comes to sci-fi films, I have to say "This Man From Earth". This film is even more omitted than monkeys. There are no weird time and space converters, no aliens, no building explosions, not even any fighting, no running, and no exterior scenes. All you can see and hear is an unidentified person and a group of people of different occupations drinking tea in a small house talking about a bizarre god-like person.
Whether it is a monkey or a man, such sci-fi films focus on multi-disciplinary thinking such as philosophy, religion, psychology, etc., and are of pioneering significance. It is not difficult to find the shadow of monkeys from the Matrix. Science fiction films can often produce some shocking and surprising plots, which are all kinds of unverifiable and falsified speculations about the future and origin of mankind, which is why the world of science fiction films is infinite.
