1.
When I was in elementary school, I bought a British science fiction novel "The Adventures of Will" from an old book stand, and another science fiction novel with children as the protagonist. The
novel describes a future world in which human beings return to ignorance, and the earth The owner is a group of three-legged robots (seriously suspected of plagiarism from the World War), and each child has to be crowned by a three-legged robot before reaching adulthood---adding parts to control the brain. In the
end, the children resisted and escaped from the village, seeing human civilization , Finally defeated the terrifying aliens.


2. A novel by Asimov, don’t remember the name (Institute of Impaired Children?) In the
future, science and technology will develop tremendously, and human beings can be directly instilled in knowledge. Choose the job that suits it) to do the corresponding work.
A child is diagnosed as unsuitable to accept this method and is regarded as an incompetent child.
Then there was still resistance, and he escaped in the Institute for Impoverished Children.
What is the result of this story? Everyone can guess.



Well, the answer is:
everyone can easily learn all the knowledge, so where does the new knowledge come from? Someone must do creative work. In fact, that kid has super intelligence and ability to innovate, so he was assigned the most awesome job. The Institute for Impaired Children is in fact the last hurdle for selecting such personnel. Those who can resist and escape will pass the test.



Yes, this kind of story always has a bizarre and reasonable ending. The protagonists break the iron curtain of reality and subvert the stereotypes. They always explore the truth fearlessly.
The creators of such works need to have a strong imagination and rigorous logic, and they must be reasonable at the same time as incredible (reasonable under the overhead background).

Compared with the two stories mentioned above, the ending of Glimmer City is not bizarre enough, the background of the story is not strong enough, it lacks explanation and response, and the details are slightly poorer-it is not enough to describe the special details of life in an underground city. There are also flaws in the plot. But this does not prevent it from becoming a good movie loved by science fiction fans.


Finally talk about science fiction movies
I personally think that science fiction movies are divided into two categories, one is the story is mentally handicapped, but the plot is very intense, this kind of movie box office is generally very good (most of the space-related movies belong to this category) and the
other is more imaginative, but not The first type is intense, the general audience does not seem very enjoyable (the crowd above forty is even more boring), so the praise and criticism are mixed
