If you don't check the information, maybe you really can't imagine that this is a sci-fi movie from 1997. Even though the gene editing technology has been partially realized in China now, the issues discussed in the movie seem to have already predicted the moral discussion of gene editing technology in the future. Isn't that what science fiction movies are like? They use the imagination with wide-open brains to think about the future of mankind.
The first time I saw this movie, I was only 15 years old, the hero Vincent's struggle against fate inspired me, the last time he was swimming with his younger brother in the sea he said "I never saved anything for swim back" !" But he didn't understand why Jero chose to end his life after Vincent "God to Heaven"? Until I heard the sentence "I only lent you body, you lent me your dream!" When I was a teenager, I used to move forward as bravely as him, for my own goals, walking alone, never looking back, Even if I win, I have to change my life against the sky. I realized my dream, but I don't know the true meaning of the dream in my heart. Flawed does not mean impossible, perfection may not be eternal.
There are many details in the movie that are very touching: the heroine was attracted by Vincent's perfect genes, but fell in love with the real him; Jerome climbed up the stairs by himself, and after sending the police away, he joked that he was not paralyzed at all , has been pretending, maybe he was not pretending to be angry, but was really angry when the detective drew blood during a city-wide raid, but he was suspected of being paralyzed; It was pretending that time, he was actually protecting his brother, so in the murder case, he had been secretly searching for this relative who had been missing for many years; the careful doctor always knew that the male protagonist was fake, but because of his son's admiration, he kept going for him. He concealed it; and the phrase "the wind took it away" echoed back and forth between the hero and heroine.
What is a good movie? Perfect logic, inspirational stories, dream-making scenes or in-depth thinking, maybe one of them is a good movie, and this movie has all of them.
