I love the struggle of imperfection and the way you are mutilated

First of all, let's praise the name of the movie. It consists of the bases of deoxynucleic acid, which just echoes the protagonist's struggle against the fate of genes. eyelashes arouse suspicion. Secondly, the movie is very beautiful. The heroine's appearance is really perfect, like artificial intelligence. The male protagonist's side face is amazing, and he looks best when his eyebrows and eyes are sharp, his muscles are fluent and beautiful, and the male and female protagonists watch the sunrise, dance, kiss and The picture of sex on the beach is romantic and beautiful. Then the plot design is very compact. Although I know that there is a protagonist's halo, I can't help but feel nervous during the process. In the end, the spiritual core of the movie is really good. You will cheer for the male protagonist's transcendence time and time again, because he is challenging fate, challenging talent, and challenging what is innate. Myopia, heart disease, short, thin, short-lived, flaws can't stop him from wanting to go to space. How much perseverance it takes to saw off legs and lengthen bones; how careful it takes to hide one's genetic traces (fingerprints, dander, hair, saliva, blood) for years; Stand out among those who are better than him. What is very healing is that almost all the people the male protagonist meets are helping him, responding to the sentence "When you make up your mind to do one thing, the whole world will come to help you." In addition, my fate is determined by this gene. The theory is really repulsive. Genes cannot determine your personality. Life is your choice. Even if you have superior genes, it does not mean that you will always be superior to others. I understand that everyone wants perfection. Survival of the fittest is a natural rule, but when you eliminate all imperfections and want to leave perfection, what you end up with is the same thing. If there are no flaws, what is perfect? I don't want a mass-produced machine, and I don't want a perfect dummy. In fact, I think the male and female protagonists love each other because they see the broken parts of each other.

    Vincent: [voiceover] For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.

  • Vincent: Is the only way you can succeed is to see me fail?
