Two months ago, the "gene editing" incident reminded people of the phrase "God is dead" that Nietzsche called out in a hundred years - people themselves have become the standard of morality. In fact, twenty years ago, the movie "The Last Call" had already imagined a dystopian society based on this trend.
In the future world, there will only be one kind of discrimination in human society - the discrimination of perfect human beings born under gene editing against defective human beings bred by nature. The protagonist Vincent is the latter, who has been covered up by his younger brother with perfect genes since birth.
Vincent dreams of leaving the planet that doesn't belong to him one day - to become an astronaut to explore the planet, and it is impossible for low genes to become noble astronauts. To this end, he left home at a young age, trained diligently, studied hard books, and after several twists and turns, he realized his dream of space with the help of Jielon and others who were also perfect genes.
There are many flash points in the movie, red, yellow and blue lenses, metal-like cold buildings, the handsome faces and superb acting skills of several big coffees when they were young, science-based settings and many details, as well as the points elaborated throughout— - "The soul has no genes" makes people feel that even if there is no special effects in a sci-fi movie, the brilliance of human nature is beyond the reach of any special effects.

Vincent stepped into the space capsule he had been looking for for half his life, and greeted the new student with his obsession and a strand of Jielon's hair.
"Zhuangzi" once said, "It is perilous to live with boundless knowledge." The Renaissance is six hundred years old, but there are three billion gene combinations, whether it is the definition of human nature or the exploration of the body. They are all like children who stare at the stars. They use our limited cognition to define the endless deep space. They don’t choose to believe in the meaning of hard work. They are willing to fall into the shackles of data, and God is unwilling to rescue them.
