As far as the plot is concerned, can humans really lose their fertility like this? Thinking about the endless emergence of various infertility problems today, maybe one day this will really happen! The story tells the story of a British man named Theo who is inadvertently involved in helping a pregnant girl Ji deliver and escort her to the "ship of tomorrow". From this film, I saw the disorder, insensitivity, and helplessness of human beings in the face of disasters, and I also saw the kindness in human hearts from the film. Seemingly contradictory, but they are all balanced. The tone of the entire film is gray and black, and occasionally there are some warm-toned pictures, which are also difficult to see. This sets the tone of the whole film, so watching this film, I feel like observing the process of the seed in the human nature growing, sprouting, and breaking out of the dark soil. At the beginning of the film, an eighteen-year-old boy was beaten to death. At the time, I still didn’t understand it. The label of “the youngest man on earth” made me feel incredible. A baby is born every few seconds on this earth, and someone dies every few seconds. It's normal. But gradually looking back, it turns out that the people on earth in the film have lost their fertility. So the death of such a boy indeed caused the sadness of countless people. However, people have not yet recovered from their grief. The cafe where many people gathered was bombed without any warning. The girl who escaped screamed in horror, and countless refugees on the street were detained like animals. in a cage. The opening of the film feels depressing and heavy. The protagonist Theo is asked by ex-girlfriend Julianne to open a pass for a girl, Ji. Theo also successfully helped her. But in the process, Julianne was shot and killed by her own internal staff due to various internal conflicts, and Theo and others were also wanted by the police. At this time, he also found out that the girl Ji was pregnant, so far, he seemed to have no room to turn around. Therefore, along the way, he tried every means to help the girl escape from the dangerous place. He first escaped from the rebel army's farm and came to his friend's forest hut. He thought he could let Ji give birth to a baby here, but unexpectedly, the rebel army tracked it here and shot and killed his friend. Through his friend's friend, he mixed the girl Ji in the refugee camp to escape and boarded the pre-agreed boat. Here, Theo helps Ji deliver a baby girl, and finds the boat with the help of a kind gypsy woman, Maria. On their way to the wharf to board the boat, the footage of the gunfight on the street had me worried for a long time. In this gloomy world, people walking on the road with guns and shooting will disappear in an instant, if their companions turn around and take a look , you are likely to be the one who was shot and killed, and you will not be given any time to grieve and sigh at all. After one living person falls down, you don't have any time to lick the wounds and soothe your emotions, and the next person will fall down and die in an instant. So I paused when I saw footage of a mother hugging her dead son and screaming "God why did you take him". Yes, emotions need to be released, and the director finally let the mother express the sadness on behalf of the audience. In the constant shootout, they were found by the rebels, Ji was held hostage into a building by the rebels, and Theo chased after her to save her. There were many lifeless people in the seemingly dilapidated, dead building. Because of the war, their world is dark. A certain floor of the building will be bombed without warning at any moment. The person lying on the bed may be seriously injured or die in the next second, but there is not much mourning. Maybe they are all used to such impermanent changes. But I'm thinking, is this a habit or numbness? It must be numb! They didn't know the truth of life and death, they just lived and died numbly, without the right to choose independently. From birth to death, they may not have time to think about life and death. Looking at the camera, I really wish it was sci-fi, not real. But thinking about the current era in a country at war, the scene of people's lives must be like this; and further thinking that if a person lives in the world without any ability to think for himself, he will be so numb, ignorant, and reincarnated. , isn't that what these lenses are? How can there be any science fiction film, this is a real documentary film! The final climax was the sound of Ji's daughter crying constantly amid the sound of gunfire, making the whole world quiet. The words "return to the baby" popped into my mind. Yes, the cry of a baby brings everyone back to their purest nature. In such a hell on earth, this crisp and loud cry is a call to the true love in the world, and it is also the seed of love to the world, and it is a catalyst for awakening the warmth of the world. For a moment, those who were living in numbness seemed to be activated. They gathered together, some said blessings, some stretched out their hands to hug, and some even touched the little feet of the children... They were still angry just now. The gun-holders ceased fire, and everyone turned surprisingly neatly in the direction of the baby, and some even knelt down and crossed. How long had it been since they heard something like this? But this kind of purity didn't last long, and before Theo accompanied Ji far away, another burst of artillery fire began behind him. Maria, the gypsy woman, helped them find Got a boat and escaped. When Theo finally rowed the boat and took Ji and her daughter to the joint buoy, Theo, who was seriously injured, finally exhausted his last strength and never woke up again. Ji tells him that her daughter will be named Dylan, who is Theo and Julia's late child. Finally, the ship of "Tomorrow" also came as scheduled, yes, "Tomorrow", which is also a very good metaphor. The son of mankind has been finally protected, and mankind will have a tomorrow, and there will be hope. Sighing that a deeply buried seed in the self finally broke out of the ground. Yes, everyone has such a seed in their heart. No matter how long it has not been activated, it is still there. What we need to do now is to activate it, let it sprout, take root, and grow strong...
