The back is the haze, the forward is the mountain pass

The idea of ​​the first half of the film is somewhat similar to that of The Matrix, but the protagonist is a clone. The clones were kept in an isolated environment, serving the desire of human immortality, until finally one clone found out that the world they lived in was just a lie, and the story started from here... The director's understanding of the story is full of loopholes, no matter whether it is special effects or big scenes, it can't greatly improve the quality of the movie. I don't know how this director who burns so much money can make so many movies. The director's philosophical understanding is also not in place. He wants to express that clones are just like humans. As long as they have ideas, they are life worthy of awe, but they also set up some plots that make people feel different. For example, clones are obviously more selfless than human thoughts. many. Maybe the director wants to express that captivity is the ladder of human progress? Sounds like a step backwards... Sure, it's a good shot to spend so much money on it, but aren't those cerebral palsy killer chase scenes really insulting the audience's IQ? The performance of the little angel Ivan was still so surprising. In the rival scene between the clone and his main body, the personality conflict between one person and two people was very touching. Also, I feel that the film is partly an allegory.
