A related incident broke out recently, and it happened that the teacher recommended this movie, only to find that there was an illustration in the original high school biology textbook that was actually this movie poster... Well, it's a long way to go, back to the movie itself: this It is a sci-fi movie, but it does not focus on showing a future era with a strong sense of distance. The eternal theme that implements the whole movie is still human nature and dreams. The protagonist Vincent is a "defective person" who is genetically destined to live only to 30 years old. Correspondingly, he is a perfect "gene person" who has been artificially selected. However, he has seemingly "unrealistic" dreams—— fly into space. His father ruthlessly said that his closest chance to this dream was to become a cleaner in the NASA, so as expected, Vincent tore up the family photo of himself and disappeared since then... Witnessing the rockets taking off again and again After the scene, an accidental opportunity allowed him to use the identity of Jerome - the perfect product of genetic engineering, but unexpectedly disabled - to successfully complete the so-called NASA interview (actually just a genetic test), which has since violated the "law of nature" Complete training time and time again and become the best one. Before liftoff, a supervisor was killed in an accident. Although "Jerome" (Vincent), who has been careful with his hair and dander, accidentally left eyelashes, the flight plan was in jeopardy, and his identity was about to be exposed. Love, friendship with Jerome, and reunion with his younger brother made everything confusing. The solution of the case made Vincent decide to go all out and be himself, only to find that the doctor who had been doing genetic examinations was secretly helping him, and finally Vincent was lifted into the sky. , Jerome threw himself into the sea of fire, the "defective people" defeated the human "science", and Jerome's second-place swimming medal shone in the firelight, casting a charming brilliance. The film's greatest success is:
1. Constructing an era in which genetic diagnosis is rampant and distrust is pervasive:
The first thing a baby does at birth is to collect a blood sample for genetic analysis. Human "science" defines a person's lifespan, health and future in a long list of reports; when applying for a job, the interview is useless, replaced by Your "saliva", you can choose to refuse, which is another meaning of giving up; the lover's lip print, the hair on the comb, the dander in the cracks of the keyboard, all the tiny things will become the exposure of oneself" future" possible whistleblower.
We always complain that it is an era of "looking at face", as if appearance and talent have a shady agreement. However, if one day, people finally stop looking at their faces and use more "scientific" methods to understand you, report your life with a roll of report paper, and judge your future, how terrible it will be. Therefore, hypocritical creatures like man are always looking for more hidden and high-sounding reasons to cover up their "shortsightedness" and "ignorance", silent and natural challenge, and longing to be their own "master".
2. The reflections on the relationship between science and nature are hidden in:
In this movie, there are many scenes related to the sea: Vincent and his younger brother often swim in the sea when they were young, and Vincent always loses. One of the scenes impressed me: Vincent scratched a seashell on his hand. A mouth, blood flowed out to show his determination, when he handed the shell to his brother, the younger brother's contemptuous eyes were proud and indifferent from human science; after a wonderful night with Irene, "Jerome" Quietly got up, carefully tucked his hair, scrubbed vigorously with seaweed on the beach, tried to erase Vincent's mark, those imperfect existences, he cried, and he felt that he couldn't tell the difference; after his identity was exposed, the decisive battle with his younger brother Still in the sea, he once again created a miracle, winning the game and saving his younger brother.
The reason for choosing the ocean is not only the needs of the scene, but also the thinking of science and nature. Humans originated in the ocean. After living on land for a long time, they forgot their origins and tried to establish their own set of laws to get rid of the constraints of nature, the so-called "science". It's a pity that while people try to cover up their imperfections, they are still under the control of nature. Although they will lose the upper hand for a while, just like the competition between two brothers when they were young, there will always be times when they come back, and then , I'm afraid that the slap slaps the face is gone. Choosing the ocean and choosing swimming is an ingenious way. Jerome's second-place "imperfect" medal and Vincent's final comeback are both natural and human scientific cognition contests, which are thought-provoking.
3. Let the brilliance of humanity and dreams bloom in the dark background:
Although the whole background is depressing, hopeless, no hope in sight, and dreams are about to be shattered, at the last critical moment, it is still the natural attributes of people that save mankind. Fortunately, people's feelings are just sleeping, never disappeared, he It will wake up at the most suitable time as the last retention of nature. Just when Vincent was desperate and isolated, love, family, friendship and sympathy all woke up. All the people, Vincent's lover, brother, identity provider, and the doctor who has been silently helping, they are in front of an extremely longing heart, Fading off the disguise of science, together for a great unreachable dream, he chose to acquiesce, and finally Vincent entered space, a "different" world that he had longed for for a long time. And Jerome chose to commit suicide, took his silver medal, and disappeared with a smile, and people can no longer tell who is who, or people know.
