The way to liberation is here

"The Ghost Village" is an extreme example to prove that for humans, taboos are always broken. And "Shimmer City" uses an allegory to verify the way of human self-liberation.

Regarding "Twilight City", we don’t seem to need to explore how human beings turn the earth into a world that is not suitable for survival. We only know that human beings gather love and wisdom, and the underground low-light city created by "For the good of all mankind" has become Human beings place hope for the future. The theme of the story is actually the same as last year's "Wall·E", but the performance structure is quite different.

The setting of the underground city is not only full of the melancholy of modern civilization, but also highlights the sense of the end of the world, becoming a symbol of the continuation or extinction of human civilization. At the end of the film, the sunrise scene with the sky full of clouds made me feel the beauty of life like never before.

So it is the young heroes and heroines who find the hope of the world, perhaps not only because the original novel is a fantasy novel for young people, but also because the world must be promoted by young people. All people will inevitably have to face many choices in the world as they grow up. Should they choose to explore the truth or accept reality? Do you choose to discover the new world, or choose a textbook? Only a few people can always have a heart of innocence, and only a few young people have the opportunity to understand the truth of this world and bring people freedom and hope.

The greatness of life lies in its constant breaking of conventions. From the genetic mutation of viral DNA to the endless curiosity of human beings, all determine the endless heights that the world of life may reach. If there is any cuteness in human beings, it is precisely this kind of innocent feelings that always cherish curiosity and constantly explore the truth—the way to liberation, is here.
