Chapter 1427 Eternal Loneliness

China's first science fiction film festival, for domestic science fiction fans, although many people are complaining, most people's complaints are actually more about hating iron than steel.

So in fact, science fiction fans still have high expectations for this science fiction film festival.

To be honest, even at this science fiction film festival, it would be really embarrassing if Li Yi's "Moon" was not among the films shown.

It’s not that there are few domestically produced science fiction movies, on the contrary, there are actually quite a few.

Small-budget movies are all soft science fiction with a smooth plot. Unfortunately, soft science fiction actually tests creativity and scripts.

But these things are often beyond the reach of directors of small-budget films.

However, most of the so-called large-scale domestic science fiction movies are not satisfactory. This is due to objective environmental reasons and also because domestic science fiction movies themselves are still not mature enough.

For this reason, "Moon" naturally received more attention, after all, it is the only one.

Not only movie fans, but also the media paid the most attention to "Moon", and soon the media also gave their own evaluations.

"Through the gripping plot and in-depth thematic exploration, "Moon" brings the audience a profound reflection on human existence and scientific development, while also showing the tenacity and courage of human beings in the face of loneliness and challenges. This film is not only a science fiction film but also a science fiction film. The subject matter presents a fascinating story, and also provides thoughts and revelations about human beings through the setting of the plot and the shaping of the characters." - "China Film Report"

"The scientific elements and technological depictions in the movie "Moon" are full of fusion of reality and imagination, presenting the audience with a thought-provoking world about future space exploration. The movie shows the realization of space travel and moon landing missions." — — "Film and Technology"

""Moon": What is more desperate than loneliness is the false past and the loneliness without a future!" - "Film Weekly"

""Moon" uses a simple storyline to create a suffocating atmosphere of loneliness on the desolate moon. It explores deeply the psychological state of human beings when facing loneliness, making it a visually dazzling but "brainless" blockbuster. Shame on you." - "Science Fiction"

"Moon" is indeed a low-budget movie, but in fact, the lineup of "Moon" is really not bad. It stars the best actor and is directed by the best director. Even if it is just one scene and one character, it still became the most beautiful movie at the science fiction film festival. Cub!
In fact, sometimes movie fans really don’t have high demands.

You want to say how awesome "Moon" is, but it really isn't. In fact, the story can't be said to be very fresh or innovative.

In fact, this type of movie is not uncommon. Such a story is not bizarre, and many people can actually guess the ending after watching it halfway.

But this does not prevent movie fans from liking this movie.

Judging from the proportion of ratings on the popular film review website, people who gave low scores can be said to be almost ignored, with only 1% of people giving it 1 or 2 stars.

"One thing to say, "Moon" may not be that exciting in the world of science fiction movies, but among domestic science fiction movies, it is definitely top-notch."

"I originally thought it was about fighting monsters, but unexpectedly, I almost got depressed! As expected of you, Director Dog, please give me another movie like this!"

"To be honest, this movie is really awesome! Why do you say that? Because the whole movie is extremely simple. It can be said to be a real low-cost science fiction movie, but such a movie has only a few scenes and even only one protagonist. It's a one-man show movie, but it contains a lot of content.

Contains issues including cloning, humanity, loneliness and even ethics.

But the most awesome thing is that the story is so logical that I was even thinking, is it possible that such a situation will happen one day in the future?
The answer is actually very possible, which is awesome and outrageous!Director Dog, it’s really YYDS! "

"As a social beast, after watching the movie, I suddenly felt that many of our social beasts nowadays are actually Wu Gang?

Wu Gang conquers Guangxi and works endlessly. Human cloning takes three years to reincarnate, never ending!

And what about us? 996, 007, capital never sleeps, and the big boss is crazy about poisoning chicken soup, saying that 996 is a blessing. The point is, even if we know it, it is all bullshit. No matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction there is, So what?

We have turned the most annoying 996 into a blessing, this fucked up society! "

"Some people say that the story of "Moon" is not innovative enough, but it is actually very innovative, because it seems to be the first story I have ever seen where cloning and work are combined.

It’s horrifying to think about it. Wu Gang, the clone on the moon, could only survive for 3 years because of technical flaws.

So the question is, if one day human cloning technology matures, no, even if it is immature, it will only live for 3 years.

Many people are discussing the issue of whether human clones are human beings, but have you ever thought that if human clones are human beings, then they also need to be paid for their work? If they can get the same treatment as human beings, then in fact, it will not Good thing for us.

But if, as in the movie, human clones are just used as tools, then all of us will face unemployment, because in terms of cost, since clones are no longer human beings, then they do not need wages and work hard without complaint. Obedient and directly destroyed, the cost is much lower than firing an employee, so do people still need to work?

So, this problem is really scary! "

Various discussions and arguments began to appear on the Internet.

Of course, back to the movie itself.

More people still talk about despair and loneliness!
As a self-media film critic, I am no longer a human being. I wrote this on my self-media account:

"A person has a shelf life of 3 years, is a clone, and his parents, wife, friends, and children all have false memories implanted throughout his life. He does repetitive work for a lifetime, and is immediately replaced by another clone after death. Is such a person lonely?

For a person, with a shelf life of 80 years, his parents, wife, friends and children will eventually be gone, and his job will always be replaced by another person. Is such a person lonely?

"Moon" can be seen as a person's brief life.

This person has a wife and daughter. He will work on the moon repeatedly for three years and then go home after mining.He lives every day on the false memories and videos of his wife and daughter, and spends his free time raising flowers and making sculptures.Three years is the deadline. My body is broken and I am about to die. I lie in the incinerator dreaming of being reunited with my wife and daughter, and they are burned to ashes in an instant.

This person can also have a wife and daughter, work in the company 996, and end it after retirement.I live by watching videos and playing games every day, and eat and watch movies in my free time. He was about to die at the age of 80, lying in the incinerator dreaming of going to the other side to reunite with his wife and daughter, which was burned to ashes in an instant.

So?

"Moon" is filled with a strong sense of loneliness.And this feeling of loneliness is actually not for the clones, but for everyone.

Most people are full of expectations to go to the so-called "other side", and they happily walk into the cemetery, just like clones 1, 2, 3, and 4.

They didn't know the truth, they always thought it was true, they never knew they were clones, so they did go to the other side they longed for.We might say that such people are really pathetic, but how could their short lives not be happy?
We all know that people who care, miss, and have hope have always longed to go home, and in fact, to a certain extent, he did go home.

We often say that the best liar not only deceives others, but also deceives himself, and they did it.

There are also a few people who clearly realize that when one comes, one must eventually leave alone. After stepping into the cemetery, there is no other shore, just like Clone 5.

Someone wants to get out of this endless loop, like Clone 6.

And philosophers are willing to give everyone some opportunities to think and break through the limits of their own destiny, just like the computer Bajie.

The ultimate goal of human cloning is just to become real people. From beginning to end, in fact, they are more like human beings, unlike the computer Bajie. In endless years, he may be able to truly achieve this. Break through the limits of your own destiny!
The science fiction movies we watch are re-mappings of our lives.

Tell some subtle truths in a subtle way.

An eternal proposition, how to distinguish between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, is there any truth in the world?

Are we constantly trying to understand the unknown just creating more misunderstandings? We can only pretend to support our own thoughts confidently, so as not to be constantly overwhelmed by wave after wave, or blur the boundaries of everything. All things are similar.I wanted to fill in all the unknowns in my mind, but I was told that all the unknowns would still remain unknown after being understood, so I chose to be bored, not stopping, and relying on nothing.

Suddenly it occurred to me that the question raised by this movie is actually a paradox in itself.

Because some lives exist because they require his sacrifice, such as the livestock we raise.A large number of domestic animals are bred on assembly lines. If you have a little compassion and think that they should not be killed and eaten for meat, then in fact they will not be born.Between a short life and no life at all, I think there will be candidates for both.Human life is also very short, but there are always people who can't wait even for these few decades.

So from this perspective, the biggest ethical issue in the movie is actually deception.There is no way to deceive. At least technically speaking, the memory transmission technology at that time could only reach the level of downloading and uploading, and could not arrange the memory itself at will. Or the cloned cells also had their own memories that could not be replaced. It can be modified. In any case, such a lie seems to be the greatest kindness to the clone, right?

Even in reality, the vast majority of humans are nothing more than tools. So far, they are complex tools that cannot be replaced by machines. Once machines can be used, humans, unstable tools with many variables, will be replaced in minutes.

If you don't want to be considered a sacrifice, you may not be born at all.

So now more and more people understand that they don’t want to give birth. "

"Moon" is magical, at least for many viewers, when they read those interpretation articles, they will feel that this movie is really magical.

Some people say that when humans think, God laughs.

The same is true for the issues raised in the movie "Moon".

Because there are simply no answers to those questions.

There is no right answer either.

Therefore, netizens on the Internet are arguing over many issues.

The first question is “Do clones count as human beings?”

This is also the most discussed topic after the release of "Moon".

Some people think: "Since clones have complete human memories, complete emotions, and even bodies, as well as emotions and desires, why can't they be considered human beings?"

But other people think: "Humans should develop from maternal embryos, starting from scratch, and growing up from babies. And the memories of cloned people are also plundered or copied, even if all aspects seem to be true, or It sounds like the real thing, but it's still fake, so how can it be considered a human being?
If clones are human beings, then who are we humans? "

The two sides quarreled like hell.

The same is true for the discussion of cloning technology.

"Human cloning was also developed by humans. The starting point is good. We hope to use cloning technology to cure some diseases that cannot be cured by current technology. Therefore, technology itself has no good or evil! For example, knives are just for The needs of life appear as an auxiliary tool in human life. Some people use it to cut vegetables, but some people use it to do evil, but it cannot be said that the knife itself has good and evil qualities!"

, but some other people also put forward counterarguments.

"This example is a bit strange, so why not talk about firearms or nuclear bombs? Why were these things invented? They are essentially murder weapons!"

Of course, these topics are quite far-reaching.

There is another topic that is also very interesting, and it is related to the ending of the movie.

Because Li Yi did not show what happened after Clone No. 6 Wu Gang returned to Earth in the movie.

This has also become a topic of discussion or controversy among many people.

"Actually, what will happen if Wu Gang goes back on the 6th? My daughter is the real Wu Gang's daughter, and my home is the real Wu Gang's home. What is the essential meaning of being with him?"

"Then don't you go back? The moon will continue to cycle and be used as a tool ignorantly? If you know it, you know it. He doesn't necessarily have to be with his daughter. He can have his own life!"

Etc., etc.

In fact, "Moon" itself has also benefited from this aspect. After all, the topic of human cloning has always been a very broad topic. It is somewhat similar to the topic of artificial intelligence, but it is very different.

Artificial intelligence, no matter how awesome it is, is still an independent individual, but human cloning is derived from humans themselves. This is why this topic has caused so much discussion.
