Moon

Filmed in 2009, the British sci-fi film "Moon" clung to my heartstrings from the very beginning. Sam is an astronaut. He collects clean energy for Moonstar Industries at the Sarah Station on the moon. He works on a three-year contract and can return to Earth to be reunited with his family after three years. From the beginning, I felt that it would be extremely inhuman to leave a person alone on the moon for so long. Even with the company of the robot Curry, Sam would have fun after work: sculpting, running, watching movies, and raising green plants. , boxing, talking to himself...until clone 6 showed up and played a few rounds of ping pong with another self. But there is an air of loneliness that pervades the film from start to finish, a suffocating air that stems from the isolation of the entire base—real-time communications destroyed by solar flares. In other words, Sam couldn't get in touch with Earth in real time. He could only receive messages forwarded by the headquarters, including video messages from his wife Tess. He replied to more than 100 messages from Tess, and he didn't know whether the other party received them. I have to say that this is a bug, but without this bug, the story cannot be established. There are a lot of interesting and touching details in the video, please record it. First, Sam, who is clone 5, introduces his daughter to clone 6: "This is Eve, our little monkey. Maybe she's a milkman, but she's beautiful." Self-deprecating laughing.

Secondly, Currie told Sam that it took him 938 hours to carve those wooden buildings. If he spent 1 hour a day carving it, it would take two and a half years. This kind of ascetic persistence has a bit of a mucus type of steadfastness and a slightly rigid temperament. .

And, Sam drove out of the signal interference range and used CALL LOG to connect to Bell's house. He learned that his wife Tess Bell had passed away a few years ago, and his daughter Eve was 15 years old. He suddenly broke down and cried and said I want to go home. Clone Knowing that he wants to go home, Six plans to disguise the newly activated Clone No. 7 as a corpse, drag it into the crashed pathfinder vehicle, and arrange for Sam to return to Earth in a return vehicle. Sam said, "We can't kill people," and he decided to sacrifice himself.

Finally, Sam closed his eyes peacefully on the way back to the pathfinder, and Clone 6 carried him through the final road. Viewers may think that Sam is dead, at least there is no pain and benevolence, until the vehicle that clone 6 rides across the starry sky, he opens his eyes, watches quietly, and sees off for the other self...

Sam, who is clone 5, is kind, delicate, sensitive, and fearless; clone 6, who is also Sam, is brave, decisive, and witty, even if it is a clone with the same genes and appearance characteristics as the original who has undergone consciousness extraction, transfer and recovery, Also has a different scent. From all these good qualities we can see how outstanding, good and lovable the Primarch Sam was as an astronaut, as a human being.

If cloning technology violates moral laws, using excellent genes as a profit-making process is a cruel injury to human nature and ethics, and even massacre.

Moonstar Industries cares most about cutting costs and increasing the production capacity of clean energy. The people care most about whether astronauts can perform their tasks well and make contributions to the earth. At this time, I care most about Sam's inner desires and emotions... He is not Programs are living people!

Humans like Sam deserve to be loved—loved by all.

There are a lot of bugs in the film, in addition to the aforementioned Sam never trying to fix the real-time communication system, it also includes that he has never explored the space outside Sarah Station for three years, passively accepting the arrangement of the headquarters. The right should be for the needs of the plot. It is a world full of affection and absurdity, so there is no need to sigh and sigh from the perspective of God.
