Tom Cruise's movie, the movie is not bad, it tells that after the war between humans and aliens, the human race was defeated, Jack and Vicca were sent to the earth to collect nuclear fuel for the collective migration of human beings out of the earth, and at the same time, they were responsible for preventing and destroying the remnants of the earth. Alien. However, Jack accidentally found a human astronaut who returned from outer space during the mission, but was killed by his own patrol robot. It turns out that the aliens that Jack has been instructed to destroy are real human beings, and the ones who issue orders to him are real aliens. The aliens used Jack's clone to win the war. After the failure of human beings, only a few survived. People became a resistance organization underground, and finally, with the help of Jack, the resistance army used the alien patrol plane to blow up the alien mothership and won the victory.
As a sci-fi movie, the film is well done, and there are no particularly obvious logical errors. Jack, played by Tom Cruise, should be regarded as a bit of a bohemian character who likes the natural life on earth. He does not rigidly obey his superiors, but has his own judgment and ideas, while his partner Vika is the opposite. She is a faithful executor and never doubts the orders of her superiors. Even in the face of evidence, when her beliefs are seriously challenged, she still chooses to blind her eyes, unwilling to believe, unwilling to reason, unwilling to judge . Maybe this is the difference between captains and ordinary people. I have seen in some places that the meaning of "rules" is to be broken by people, and those who achieve outstanding results in the end are those who can break the rules. Perhaps, it is not that these people break the rules, but that these people do not blindly follow the rules and can make their own thinking.
Jack loves life and the earth, even if his superiors tell him that the earth has been polluted by nuclear war, he still likes the quiet natural life on earth, and brings his favorite plants back to the base for his partner and lover, even if these are not. compliant with the standard. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why the resistance army has confidence in him. A person who is full of humanity and can think independently will make the right choice through his own judgment.
Jack 49 has always kept some of the original memories, and perhaps this is what sets him apart from others. It can be seen that the Resistance did not find such trustworthy qualities as 49 on other clones. I have always felt that the most important determinant of why a person is himself and not anyone else is memory, and to a certain extent, I do not believe that clones generated by biotechnology can have the memory of the original (although sometimes clones in movies The body will have memory), so the production of a clone is also the production of a new individual. Maybe the name of the film is Oblivion, that's what it means, what is true and what is false, maybe there is no real boundary between true and false, it only exists in a person's memory and beliefs.
