I think this film seems to imply that in the future, technology is not the problem, the problem lies with us humans. When technology becomes the protagonist of life, ethical issues linger, abused, replaced, and even forgotten. We exist to complete tasks and obey orders more efficiently, otherwise, we would not exist and you would be forced to choose "forget and be forgotten".
how to solve this problem? The highly religious rendering in the film seems to offer us a solution. There is a messiah in any age, the title of savior in the bible, looming in this film (just seeing that actor makes me laugh in my heart, I can't imagine him as a savior, he It seems to have appeared in K-song lovers, a wretched and lonely old star, drunk and lonely, the owner of cheap coats and low-quality cigarettes, and the performance is still pretty good). However, at the end of the film, there was a sharp turn, and the savior was shot down without a struggle, which not only made the actor dismissed inexplicably, but also left me at a loss. Without a savior? By whom? he? That "mutated" spy?
This is where I am more confused. Maybe it can be explained in this way, for this reason, it is useless to rely on anyone, and any savior is just a gimmick. It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. A savior may not exist, just to give you a beacon to keep going and let you know that you are not alone in the struggle. It's just that we don't want to be too stupid or naive. Spiritual leaders may save your soul, but they can't stop bullets for you, and they can't keep you alive.
In terms of the theme promoted by the film, total recall still has not been able to break away from the cloak of personal heroism, perhaps this is the eternal value of the American dream.
It's a bit messy, that's my first impression of this movie. But in general, the film's discussion of the worries about the future and the way out for human beings is still remarkable.
