The Chosen One

"Each of us feels that we are the chosen one." ——A chose to make this sentence his favorite theme in the movie.

Both K and Joey are replicas, obsessively pursuing the soul. Joi wants to "die like a normal woman". Luv is also pursuing a unique "I am the best".

Human self-indulgence. The creation and maintenance of human self-worth. Not only humans in this film, but even human replicas and even silicon-based creatures are infected with human sentimentality.

Miracle. The Chosen One. Wallace thought he was Moses. Both K and Luv thought they were Abraham who could offer their most precious existence to God. It is only through sacrifice that a unique connection with God can be established. But tragedy and sacrifice, sometimes just a part of life...don't have any metaphysical meaning.

- They are no different from other replicants.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. But in the eyes of other species, it is just a thousand paramecia. Uniformly boring. Even more so in modern society.

The sense of religious ritual in the film is well reflected through composition and color. But the soundtrack is a failure. Since interstellar, a person has not liked Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, and this time it is still too hard and irrelevant. monotonous. No tune. The effect is maddening. Every time the BGM of a key scene makes people think that something will jump out of the protagonist's back - he always seems to want to express the protagonist's emotions with a strong sense of conflict, but the result is that people feel like watching a horror movie. Unbelievably heartbroken.

    Before I saw it, I thought it would be a tasteless sequel, but I didn't expect it to be almost perfect. It lasts for two and a half hours, which is an immersive movie-watching experience. The emotion is full and the theme is deep, like a hymn of life. What the duplicators in the film desperately wanted, the holographic phantom girl desperately wanted, is what those of us with real life regard as ordinary and arbitrary waste. Do we really have real life?

    I wanted to tell the story too clearly, but it seemed clumsy and lost the charm of the original. But at the same time, the theme of the original work has been excellently continued and more contemporary. In the superhero movie rampant Hollywood upstream, the pace is so slow, the climax scene is so small, but the release of Villeneuve and Di With the greatest power and charm of Kings' combination, there are a few scenes worthy of being selected as the best movie moment of the year for anyone and any media.
