Looking at it, I forgot that this is a film made by a Chinese director. I think he must know Hollywood very well and know how to make people like this kind of film. In his words, it is "using the American narrative to convey the Chinese spirit." This may be the reason why Chinese films have been unable to go out, because we don't know what foreigners are thinking. We didn't really get to know their lives like John Woo, like Ang Lee. John Woo said that Americans attach great importance to family, so at the end of the film, the male protagonist returns to the family. This is the way Americans are familiar. But what is the Chinese spirit conveyed in it, perhaps it is the true conscience of mankind. That is to say, technology has reached a certain stage. Although people's faces can be exchanged, people's hearts cannot be exchanged. This is human nature.
A very good and worth watching movie.
