Chapter 1,430 It’s not a fabrication, it’s a statement
With the opening of the first Chinese Science Fiction Film Festival, more and more people came to the film festival.
After watching more screened science fiction movies, the comparison came out.
I have to say that although Chinese science fiction movies are indeed much better in recent years than in earlier years, in comparison, compared to other overseas science fiction movies, they are indeed far behind.
The result is a rather embarrassing result, that is, there are indeed many films participating in this science fiction film festival, among which Chinese science fiction films account for one-third.
From this aspect, overseas science fiction films account for two-thirds, which is undoubtedly a success for the science fiction film festival.
The success of a film festival is actually nothing more than a few points. The first point is authoritativeness. That is, if the film festival is mainly pursuing awards, then it needs to make the awards of this film festival accessible to the outside world.
Recognition.
Intangible things like influence are difficult to quantify, but they do exist.
Of course, it is impossible for a fledgling film festival to be authoritative in this regard. After all, you have just been established, so what kind of authority can you speak of?
For this reason, the second pursuit of a new film festival is undoubtedly the fame and influence of the entire film festival.
If you want fame and influence, it has a lot to do with the number of films participating in the exhibition.
The embarrassing thing about this science fiction film festival is that generally speaking, foreign films are better than domestic science fiction films in terms of word-of-mouth reviews from audiences or reviews from media critics.
This is really embarrassing.
Therefore, the film festival can only catch one sheep and pluck its wool.
That sheep is the movie "Moon".
The same is true for the media and film critics. After all, this is a local science fiction film festival. If there are no outstanding works, forget it. But since there are, naturally they have to boast and brag.
For example, as the official program of the Science Fiction Film Festival, "Moon" can be said to have been covered at length.
The most published ones are the interpretations of "The Moon".
There is nothing you can do about it. After all, if you let other films come up, they are all external films, so is this the Chinese Science Fiction Film Festival?
Film reviews related to "Moon" are published almost every day. Although it seems to be full of respect, there is one thing that is undeniable. That is, in this science fiction film festival, "Moon" is indeed outstanding.
of.
Not only for domestic science fiction movies, in fact, the same "Moon" has also won the favor of many overseas film critics and media people.
One of the articles is from a science fiction film critic from Hollywood.
His interpretation also means to find a different approach. The starting point is different from that of many people.
"The truth is always cruel, ignorance is happiness!
Driven by curiosity, everyone will pursue the truth, but you may lose the happiness you have.
"Moon" has been interpreted by many people, but everyone has ignored a very critical point. They are all discussing whether clones are human beings?
But they ignored a very interesting and most obvious characteristic of human beings, which is curiosity!
We often say that curiosity leads the progress of science and technology and drives the development of human civilization. If humans lose curiosity, then both civilization and technology will stagnate!
As for the protagonist Wu in "Moon", the reason why he is different from the previous clones is that his curiosity led him to discover the truth.
Hence this story.
At the same time, the tone set by many people for the theme of this movie is despair and sadness!
I don't agree with this!
My reasons will be given below.
Judging from the pace of the movie, the pace of this movie is slow and the viewing process is extremely long, but the strange thing is that you will not feel bored.
If you watch this movie alone, you will easily become one with the characters, because for a moment, you will feel the loneliness.
I couldn't help but ask myself, is the director creating such extreme loneliness to make us depressed? The answer is obviously no. After watching the movie, I am even more convinced of the theme of the movie: hope.
Yes, it is hope! The story of the movie is indeed a story of despair, but the theme of the movie is not despair, but hope!
The evidence can be said to be clearly shown to us in many places in the movie.
At the beginning of the film, we learned that Wu can return to Earth to reunite with his family in two weeks. Days full of expectations are very happy. For example, we are often in a better mood on Fridays than on Sundays. A life with expectations is
The most wonderful.
In the middle of the film, Wu was very disgusted with the behavior of clones looking for secret rooms. At that time, Wu had already had doubts about his identity, but he did not dare to delve into it or break this beauty. You must know that his motivation for working seriously here is
What? It is to be able to reunite with his family when the contract ends. If someone tells him at this time that all this is false, then what is the meaning of life for him? This is probably the happiness of the ignorant.
Therefore, he has been choosing to suppress his doubts. When No. 6 keeps raising his questions, when he starts to destroy what No. 5 has always cherished, he still chooses silence and escapes. Why should he?
Doing this? Because he is afraid deep down in his heart that his persistence is all false.
But after everything, he found that his body was getting worse and worse, or he saw the appearance of No. 6, and he seemed to see his past self, so he finally plucked up the courage to ask the robot if he was a clone. I believe it.
At that time, he had prepared for the worst, but the answer he got was no miracle. He looked at the photo of his wife for a long time, because he knew that this was his only remaining memory. When the clone told him that he could communicate with the earth
During the communication, a second hope emerged. Wu hoped to see his wife on video and listen to her real voice instead of a video.
I think if he hadn't discovered the secret room and didn't know where he would go after the contract ended, he would have kept this hope as a hope of living. But the truth is always so cruel, it pushes Wu forward step by step, making him
He destroyed the second hope with his own hands, knowing that he would never see his wife again.
Once a person loses hope, what will be the result?
After No. 6 discovered all this, he knew how desperate he was and how desperate No. 5 was. This was probably because he felt the same way. So he created a third hope for No. 5. After all, there is nothing better than dying alone.
Even more sad.
But in the end No. 5 made a choice. He understood that they both felt the same about his wife, so he placed his hopes on No. 6, allowing the two to merge their hopes into one.
At the end of the film, No. 6 said to the robot, "We are not programs, we are people." The reason why people are people is that in addition to being sad, they also need to have expectations of life. There is nothing worse than losing hope.
What is the meaning of a more cruel and hopeless life? The real loneliness comes from oneself, from living like a zombie without hope.
Therefore, No. 6's flight to Earth is the last hope given by the movie, and the director kept the hope alive until the end of the movie.
I don’t know what the director’s thoughts are, but I think this story has always given hope to desperate people!”
The "realism" of "Moon" has also been talked about by many people.
Why do you say that? Because as mentioned before, many people will have a feeling after watching "Moon" that this is something that is very likely to happen in the future. It is not a fabrication out of thin air, nor is it creating a new world view by oneself, but it seems to be a
A kind of "prediction" and a kind of "indication"!
"Let's first make this assumption: One day, we suddenly find that we are just a standardized product with ISO certification. From babbling to adulthood, whether it is parents following behind to feed us, or chasing after classmates in school.
Whether it's playing around, playing with each other under the moonlight before flowers, or the joy and ecstasy when a child is born, all the people and things have never really happened, everything is a memory that has been implanted in advance.
What's even more frightening is that in a certain corner, there are countless skins that look exactly like us, ready to repeat our lives after we are damaged (die), just to work for others or even make them laugh. At this time
, will you feel a bone-chilling chill, or a surge of anger filled with resentment?
"The Truman Show" shows a possibility, and "Moon" shows the same possibility.
"Moon" undoubtedly indicates a certain possibility in the future and gives us a certain degree of vigilance. With the further development of genetic technology (cloning technology), humans will face more and more problems. Once out of control, the consequences will be
It's like opening another Pandora's box, maybe one day we will become our own gravediggers.
If the previous life could be described as lonely, then when the truth was gradually revealed, Wu Gang's situation became even more sad. Just like what I described at the beginning of the article, everything turned out to be false. Wu Gang was just a
They are just human clones, serving as worker ants for repetitive work on the moon, ensuring the supply of helium-3 on the earth. Each Wu Gang has a lifespan of only three years, and after it is scrapped, a new Wu Gang will be replaced. In fact, in the secret storage room of the base,
There are also many mass-produced spare tires stored. What is even more tragic is that the memories of his wife and children are all pre-implanted programs. The real world has long changed, and the dream of returning home and reuniting has become an illusion.
The humanistic care and philosophical thinking in this are self-evident. Human beings have created clones as gods, but they have not given them human dignity and rights. They regard them as tools instead of beings with thoughts and feelings.
There is no sense of responsibility or humanity at all.
Against the cold and ruthless Lunar Industries Corporation, the way clones resisted continued the film's usual subtlety. There was no extreme behavior, such as destroying the base in retaliation. Instead, Wu Gang, the old and new, worked together to exploit the company's loopholes.
In order to achieve the best results and show the wisdom and humanity, the old Wu Gang knew that his time was running out and gave the new Wu Gang the opportunity to return to the earth. This was exactly their cry as a human being and also gave the company management a chance to
Remember the loudest slap in the face.
From the information given in the film, it can be inferred that the clone Wu Gang should have a human prototype. The clone project of Lunar Industries Company is also very likely to be approved by the original Wu Gang. What is most horrifying is that the movie was not filmed
What comes out is that the signal jammer on the moon was destroyed, which means that Wu Gang on the 7th will also know the truth. Then when countless Wu Gang returns to the earth, their identity will cause an extremely complicated and difficult situation. At least,
How ridiculous and terrifying it would be for the daughter of the first generation Wu Gang to have hundreds of fathers all of a sudden! Of course, these are all things for another day.
But we have to admit that this result is undoubtedly terrible.
We know a lot of things, and we obviously know that their appearance will lead to some very bad consequences, but just because they are profitable, we directly ignore the possible terrible consequences. This is not a conspiracy theory, but the bad nature of human beings.
When local gutter oil can earn higher profits at a cheaper cost, don’t those black-hearted businessmen know the dangers of gutter oil? But they choose to ignore it!
In the same way, cloning technology has actually been developing. The technology of cloning sheep has been realized many years ago. After so many years of development, to what extent has the technology reached? We don’t know for the time being, but we can foresee that when the future
Is it possible that one day, the events of "Moon" will become real rather than a movie?
The answer is yes, which is why I say "Moon" is not a science fiction movie made out of thin air, but a future possibility deduced based on existing technology.
Can we say they are wrong?
It is their nature for businessmen to pursue maximizing profits!
If human clones are not considered human beings but are just tools, is there anything wrong with their approach?
And this is the scariest problem!
Finally, the most interesting part of the movie is giving lonely Wu Gang a companion, the robot Bajie!
Personally, I think this is a very interesting setting and arrangement, because to some extent, the fate of the robots is actually very similar to Wu Gang's.
Everything about him gives people a "human" appearance, but in fact, when he is formatted and restarted, he actually returns to the same starting point as the newly activated clone!"
Of course, movies are always just movies. Whether they predict the future or indicate the future, they are still just false things.
Movies always come back to movies.
For Li Yi, he actually didn't think much at all.
For many discussants, similarly, there is no follow-up after the discussion.
The appearance of "Moon" was much higher than the starting point of the world in Li Yi's memory, which is why this movie triggered more discussions.
