Years later, it may be as classic as "A Space Odyssey 2001"

The Moon is different from most sci-fi blockbusters I've seen, it has no dazzling stunts, no tense rhythms, no many big stars, so to speak, almost only one actor, $5 million investment but jaw-dropping... ...but it's definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen, a classic in my opinion.

The overall story is like the wind over the water, revealing an evocative mood in the bland. When the two Sams met for the first time, there was no big uproar. Instead, they greeted each other like old friends they hadn't seen in years. And it does not depict the collapse of the protagonist's mind and reason in the long-term lonely space like "Solar Crisis", but more of the protagonist's longing for the earth to be a stranger in a foreign land. There are many plot conflicts in the film, which leads to a strong story tension, which makes the audience have an unstoppable viewing mentality, and the film does not deliberately highlight and intensify the conflict in the story, but instead is a gentle tone to tell the story. A helpless and slightly sad story.

Missing his wife and daughter, missing his family, and missing the earth, accompanied each and every sam
through three long years. The end result is that these are all implanted memories, what a cruel reality!

Through the film, the director asks human beings a thought-provoking question: what is a human being? Are clones human? Are highly intelligent robots considered human? In the film they are more human than real. Why are human clones born? For the sake of medicine, in order to perform dangerous work as a stand-in, then they are not the same kind of humans?! But they are exactly the same as people and have their own meanings, but the moral principles of human beings do not apply to them. The fate of human clones is really worrying, no matter how you look at them, they will inevitably go to the opposite of human beings!

    A person, with so many of the same kind, is still lonely.

    Lunar is not afraid of trouble. It not only implants memory chips in clones, but also signs a three-year contract. This is the root cause of the company's share price decline.
