After reading a lot of good movie reviews, I added two details

Many of the film reviews are wonderful, not only looking for bugs, but also clarifying doubts, and some thought-provoking, so I won't repeat them.
Here, I will focus on two details that no one has mentioned:
First, the wound on Male 1's back, which should be seen by many people. When Male 1 was taking a bath, the camera showed him a back scar that resembled a chest circumference. Scars everywhere. In the later episode, it is vaguely mentioned that he was in a car accident when he was a child, his parents were killed, and he was seriously injured. Presumably the scar was left by the injury or surgery at that time? But the paradox is the shape of the wound. What kind of surgery or creation can create such a symmetrical and huge wound? Combined with his background of no family, no parents, no siblings, no girlfriend, do we have no reason to doubt his authenticity as a natural human being?
Second, at the end of the film, female 1 stood at the crossroads of the city. She looked a little ignorant, lowered her head thoughtfully, and then quickly turned around and left. . . All of this is like a person who has finally completed the mission and lost the motivation (or compulsion) to move on, and is driven to return by the care he really cares about and relies on in his heart. . Do you still remember that when female 1 was chatting with male 1, she took the initiative to mention that she wanted to take a look on the streets of the city. Why can't we think that this is exactly the destination that male 2 set for her? That is the end of the mission of the female 1 escape plan. The film comes to an abrupt end here, and I think there is a metaphor in it.

    Nathan: Yeah. And all the manufacturers knew I was doing it, too. But they couldn't accuse me without admitting they were doing it themselves.

  • Nathan: The good deeds a man has done defends him. The good deeds a man has done defends him. The good deeds a man has done... defends him.
