Obviously it is a society with ultra-high-tech life time transmission technology, but people don't even have mobile phones.
The rich girl did not carry a mobile phone with her, and her father never used a mobile phone. Even after the policeman was injured by the rich girl in the film, he did not take out his mobile phone to ask for help, but swayed to the public phone.
In terms of weapons, when the police face a repeat offender who has robbed for millions of years, they shoot a few times with long guns and short guns without pain. Not even a helicopter.
In addition, the protagonist does some simple mechanical actions when he goes to work in the factory. If this kind of mechanical action is handled manually, the production efficiency will be called a low level, which is basically the level of the 1940s and 1950s.
To sum up, the world of this movie is a world with ultra-high technology, but this ultra-high technology is only used to limit human lifespan, and the level of other types of technology is lower than that of real society.
It is mentioned in the film that the story takes place in the near future.
So what happened to make the near future look like the movie?
Let the landlord to speculate irresponsibly.
1. The overall level of human science and technology has regressed.
2. There is a high technology that humans cannot understand at this stage, but this high technology is used to control human lifespan.
3. Humans are segregated into multiple areas to live in according to the lifespan they have.
4. Darwin is mentioned many times in the film. And Darwin's theory is not only for individuals, but for the whole biological population in a larger sense.
Based on the above four points, a conclusion can be drawn.
The human beings in the world in the film have been reduced to the control of the entire population.
Combined with real society, no other species on earth has yet been found to control and enslave human beings.
Therefore, the humans in the movie can only be controlled by alien races - the aliens have collected human lifespan as a resource by means of super high technology through individual human agents.
In the face of high-tech aliens, the hero and heroine who can only rob a bank with a small pistol may have a bleak future.
Of course, with the protagonist template, they can still fight with aliens. So I'm still looking forward to the sequel.
