a movie

To be honest, I wouldn't have spent nearly three hours watching it if it wasn't for the movie made by the brothers or sisters. After reading it, I feel that their techniques are really good, very skilled and professional, but the content and themes are really unaffordable.

American movies naturally promote revolutionary personal heroism, but other than this can be regarded as the theme, it is not worth expressing in such a way with so many logical clues and super-fast rhythm. The current situation is a bit beyond the habit of ordinary people to accept literary and artistic works, and it is also a bit beyond the physiological acceptance of human beings.

Of course there are still a lot of metaphors here, like Seoul, obviously telling a different story. Xingmei also has political metaphors. And black slaves and artificial humans are obviously talking about a question of personal equality, or a question of medical ethics. Of course, I think this angle is a bit redundant, because the current mainstream theories do not care about the source of life at all, but focus on the essence of life. That is, if man does create a man one day, then this created man will not be enslaved by man. Of course, what I am talking about here is the situation of oriental culture, at least the situation of Chinese character culture circle. Perhaps Western society, the so-called Jesus culture circle, will have a different view on this issue, because it is God's work, not man's, to create life there.

Of course, the most important metaphor is the background of the old man's story, which is not the earth, but a settlement outside the earth. This story also requires a little brainstorming.
