Because of Blade Runner 2049, I was reminded of this movie I saw many years ago.
A few years later, a nuclear war broke out on Earth, and the survivors were concentrated on a small island. The island is strictly managed, everyone must participate in labor, and communication with each other is restricted. If you want to leave the island and go to the last pure land of the earth to live freely, there are only pregnant women who are about to give birth and those announced by the manager. Everyone is working hard for this opportunity.
In fact, the so-called survivors on the island are all clones. The purpose of their existence is to provide the ontology with organs that can be transplanted without being rejected, or the ontology's "natural" children.
What impressed me was a clone of a female star, a pregnant woman. When she gave birth to a child after a lot of hard work, her face was still filled with the joy of being a new mother. Soon, she began to tremble violently, and the drugs injected into her blood vessels took her life, and a happy mother turned into a cold corpse in an instant. .
Clones and the original have the exact same physiological structure, aren't they human? Are there no human rights? Can it only be treated as livestock?
When technology develops to a certain level, the ethics of society may change. However, living beings with thoughts and feelings should be respected, whether they are clones or replicas.
Compared with Blade Runner, this film is not as deep as Blade Runner in exploring the value of people and people, but it is also a thought-provoking film that you can watch.
