Three and a half. 1. The eye-supporting paragraph pays tribute to "A Clockwork Orange". The first half of the plot settings have the shadow of "Blade Runner". 2. Some photography and action design have more ideas, such as Tom under the huge LCD screen, the brightness and proportion of the foreground and background are in huge contrast, and the feeling of the tiny human being suppressed by technology is conveyed well, the factory fights, and the machine is very large. Participated in the action design to a certain extent, there is a little shadow of "Modern Times", and the passage through the building was also borrowed by many later action films, but this passage should not be the first. Coupled with the cyberpunk style, the overall visual look and feel is still good. 3. Although the genre film framework of the suspense film is a bit incompatible with the sci-fi worldview of this film (the same problem as "Artificial Intelligence"), the completion of the script is still ok, the motivation of each character is relatively clear, the suspense The doubling is also more traceable. Some of the obvious loopholes are actually due to the lack of detail in the sci-fi worldview. For example, the specific prediction mechanism of the prophet, what is the relationship between robots such as spiders and prediction, Tom's authority, etc. 4. The themes are richer: the boundary between justice and freedom, choice and destiny, God trapped in a box by human beings.

5. The focal point of the apparent dispute is whether the prophet will make a mistake in prediction. But the core question is: even if the prophet is always right, should we just use it? The bird's-eye view of spiders searching the slums is almost a movie version of Foucault's "panoramic prison". If this is the price of accurately guaranteeing your safety, are you willing to pay it? You find this acceptable, and it will only get worse in the future. as in human history.

    Some unreasonable loopholes. . . And those methods of controlling the computer are so cool that they are a bit too exaggerated. . . .

    The meaning of "minority" in the original work (that is, every report is a minority, and every timeline is unique) (also the core stem of human behavior changes after predicting the future) has been dispelled, and using the echo phenomenon to create a second murder is considered A little innovation on the original setting. The stalk of changing the eyeballs is useless, and the explanation and humane care for the ins and outs of the deformed creatures such as the "prophet" have been added, and a lot of family love chicken soup has also been poured into it by the way.
