A movie that may not be very good, but it is very touching to me

The eyes are the windows of the soul. The movie "I Origin" (I Origin) believes that the eyes are not only the eyes of the mind, but also the "fingerprint" of the mind (every person's iris texture is unique, and this texture is directly related to human brain structure and even memory). A love movie in the name of science fiction. I watched the movie with the eyes on the cover and the sci-fi genre, but I didn't expect to be abused again, alas. When I saw that in the middle, I found that damn, the heroine's name is still called Sophie, MD, it was a knowing blow. But the male protagonist finds the female protagonist through his eyes. The part where they meet on the tram is too beautiful, and the dust it off of the soundtrack is so sobering, let's watch it.

-----------------------------Separation line (the following is a review of the plot, full spoilers, be careful)------- -----------------
Astrid Bergs Frisbey, who plays the female lead, is not the kind of beauties who are round and jade-like, but it is rare to make people feel very aura. From the front, she can give 6-7 points, but some In the camera, the side face smile is beautiful, and you can directly give 9 points or even 10 points. This vegetarian theist in a motorcycle suit (fuck, this setting, I looked up at the ceiling when I watched it, and said to my heart, bro, are you playing with me...) On the top of the halloween party, there was no one there. Mochizuki on the roof alone, met a somewhat bookish male protagonist and came out to breathe. (After watching the film, I felt that this should not be called encounter, it is more appropriate to call it waiting, although the two did not "acquainted" before) She told him about a bird whose sound can include all emotions such as joy, sorrow, love and hate , he asked her to learn to listen. After a voice that is difficult to understand and slightly high-pitched, she said that it is actually more of a noise (personally, it is a metaphor in the film). He proposed to take pictures of her eyes (this is what attracted him from the beginning. After watching the whole film and then watching the plot, I feel that some hobbies without a reason are really without a reason? Of course, the eyes are still the research of this atheist scientist field.) She agreed. Very beautiful and special eyes. She told him that we seemed to know each other (heard this story from a woman's mouth, it always felt a little awkward, but it was relieved after reading it), and then led him to a separate room (looks like a bathroom) for a short period of intimate quilt The male protagonist said, "You won't regret it tomorrow, right?" After the end, the woman left in a hurry, the male protagonist chased to the door, and watched the female protagonist hurriedly get on the taxi and leave, as if there was a voice saying "Come and find me. ". Finding someone in the vast crowd of a metropolis requires not only limited clues, but also some guidance. The male protagonist bought cigarettes and lottery tickets at a roadside convenience store. When checking out, the cashier said $11.11. When he went out, he found that the lottery ticket purchase time was also 11:11:11. When he looked up, a bus stopped to open the door. I got out of the car inexplicably, and looked up at the pair of beautiful and special eyes - a large billboard (cosmetics, is it an implanted advertisement?). After some searching on the Internet, I should have found a follow-up clue. The male protagonist continued to search, and finally met Sophie, the owner of the pair of eyes, by chance and inevitable in the tram carriage. The male protagonist sits awkwardly beside her, she gives him a Mentos (insert the ad again?) and stands up to the door. He followed immediately, put her headphones on, and "The Divine Comedy" appeared, burning papers into ashes... 01 seconds (laughs). Then there is the natural love, as if oil meets fire, the so-called fire cooking oil, but that's it. Bullying, really. After a short period of time, the heroine let the hero move into her own place. Here, the male protagonist has a more thorough understanding of the female protagonist. Various photos such as the white peacock representing the soul, the photo of the cemetery goddess statue, the elephant god statuette, etc. all appear in this small room. Then continue to abuse the dog. . . The two decided to get married, and the long gauze dress that the heroine wore on the square was very beautiful. City hall officials asked them to fill out a form and told them it would take 24 hours for it to go into effect. When he went out, the male protagonist's experimental assistant (the second female) called to tell him that there had been a breakthrough in the research they had done together before. The male protagonist is very excited, but the female protagonist is a little unhappy (Is it childish? Looking back, it is more like she actually knew she was going to leave) He wanted to put a ring on her, but she said that wearing a ring before marriage would be bad luck. But the male protagonist, a science and engineering man, actually "persuaded" the female protagonist by saying that the atoms of you and I were already together and loved each other when there was a big explosion, and she promised to go to the laboratory with him. laboratory There was a bit of embarrassment between the three of them, and the assistant left wisely. So an atheist and a theist start a conversation. The female protagonist looked at the earthworms in the petri dish and asked the male protagonist, is your job to torture these worms? The male protagonist explained to the female protagonist that his experiment was to completely construct the various stages of evolution of the eye - something that religious circles often use to refute the theory of evolution - so as to deny that it was created by the "creator". Previously, his assistants found a suitable test subject and method. They can now make earthworms have simple vision, thus filling the gap in the initial stage of eye evolution, thereby denying God's creation of eyes, which is closely related to the soul The statement of the organ of the corpse indirectly proves that there is no such a so-called higher existence of God. The heroine's response was quite clever. She said that your experiment was to give the earthworm, which originally only had sense of touch and smell, vision. It had no concept of light at all, and for it, light did not exist. We stand here looking down at it, and it doesn't even know we exist. Just as one cannot sense a higher existence. Then she pointed to the door and said that you can see that there is light coming in, because the door is open, you are just afraid of that kind of cognition that breaks through the original common sense. Maybe he couldn't refute her theory, and she took the initiative to court him. As a result, a reagent was accidentally knocked over during the kiss, and the male protagonist's eyes were temporarily blinded. The female lead helped the male lead home, but the elevator stopped in the middle of the two floors. At the insistence of the female protagonist, the male protagonist climbed out first (the male protagonist even complained that the female protagonist was childish during the quarrel), but when he pulled the female protagonist out, tragedy happened, the elevator car fell, and the female protagonist was like this died. The male protagonist was overwhelmed with pain and was decadent for a long time. Until the female assistant called and came over to comfort him. These two are so good together. (People who walk into your life in grief often give you a sense of security like a pillar, a sense of satisfaction that fills the gap, but is it a pillar, is it "filling the missing piece of the gap in your heart" really to be observed.)

Years later, the male protagonist has become famous and married his assistant, and his wife is pregnant and has a big belly. After an interview on a TV station, the husband and wife were eating with colleagues and friends, and the male protagonist suddenly smelled the unique perfume smell of his ex-girlfriend Sophie, so he asked the waitress to find out the brand and model of the perfume. Friends also laughed at him for flirting with other women in front of his pregnant wife. On the other hand, the wife was really generous, and joked to her friends that she wanted to help the male lead to the waitress's call. After that, the male protagonist occasionally went to the convenience store to buy things. When paying, he found that the perfume was on the shelf behind the cashier, and bought it back. The male protagonist secretly hid in the room with his wife behind his back, sprayed his ex-girlfriend's perfume, dug out the private photos from his hard drive when he was living with his ex-girlfriend, and actually masturbated in front of the screen, and was forgotten to knock on the door The wife who came in rammed. The male protagonist confessed to his wife that before his ex-girlfriend died, what he thought was, do I want to live with such a childish woman for the rest of my life? The thought made him feel guilty. He explained to his wife that even if his ex-girlfriend hadn't died in an accident, he might have left her eventually. But he didn't have the opportunity to say goodbye to her well, which made it difficult for him to put an end to that relationship (it shows how important a good goodbye is, things that don't have a full stop will always be kept for a while) Tail). His wife forgave him. The casting of the second female lead in this film is also very interesting, it is the kind of beauty that makes people look comfortable in the traditional sense. In the previous film between her and the male protagonist, before the male protagonist and Sophie got to know each other, in a few short conversations in the laboratory, it can be seen that the thinking of the female second is more in line with the male protagonist, and the same scientific experiment thinking Mode, so that they can communicate directly with the first letter of the word, it can be said that they are equally smart, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that they are heart-to-heart.
Soon, the child was born. The doctor suggested they take an iris record for the child, and the couple agreed. As a result, when the data was entered into the database, the database showed that the record of the iris texture belonged to an old black man. The doctor thought it was a system error, so the display was normal after re-entering. Everyone didn't take it to heart. A few days later, a female doctor who claimed to be a medical institution affiliated with Harvard called and said that they found that the couple's child may have infantile autism when they checked the newborn's urine sample, and hoped that they would take the child for further examination. As for the son involved, the two of course did not dare to delay and sent the son to undergo an examination. When he arrived at the place, he found that the so-called inspection was very abnormal. It was to give two pictures on the left and right of multiple groups with similar contents, and to see which side the baby looked at the most times. When an elderly black woman appeared in the last set of photos, the child cried. The pair immediately stopped the experiment and went home with the child. After returning home, the more the two scientists thought, the more wrong they felt. They felt that there was something wrong with the so-called doctor and the test. It felt more like they were experimenting with their son. The two recalled the address on a picture that the children saw more at that time. The male protagonist drove to the local area to inquire, and found that this was the home of the old black man that the son's iris scan initially showed, and the old man happened to be there. His son died while pregnant. This time the two felt that something was wrong, and immediately contacted their friends who had already worked in related technology companies, and began to search the database for similar examples. In the end, they found that there was a data registration consistent with Sophie's iris in India. Under the persuasion of his wife, the male protagonist finally went to India to find the existence that may be the reincarnation of Sophie. Found the place, the male protagonist took out the photo of Sophie's eyes and asked the person in charge if there was such a person with iris texture, because the iris is quite special, the person in charge really remembered it, but after looking around, he found that because the little girl has two parents. dead, now living on the streets. In desperation, when the male protagonist looked at the photos taken in the local area, he saw the billboard on the top of the high-rise building, thinking of the past experience of finding people, so he put up a large billboard offering a reward to find people. After a bunch of boring phone calls to cheat money, when the male protagonist received a call from his wife urging him to go home at the bazaar, he suddenly found a little girl staring at the billboard in a daze. Looking at it in the past, it really is a similar iris. So he took the little girl back to the hotel where he was staying, and with his wife, gave the little girl a similar test to their sons. It turned out that the little girl did have a preference for some of Sophie's old things, but it was not completely consistent, and the data was not even enough to support the extent to which she was really a reincarnation of Sophie. A little disappointed, the man sent the little girl downstairs, but the little girl opened the door in front of the elevator The elevator door suddenly hugged the male protagonist in fear and cried (when going upstairs, he and the little girl took the stairs to avoid the self-proclaimed salesman and missionary who the male protagonist hated). The two walked downstairs. There was bright sunshine outside the hotel door. The male protagonist took the little girl's hand and walked out (in response to Sophie's metaphor about the door in the laboratory).
There is also an interesting Easter egg after the subtitles of the video are broadcast. A female doctor who previously called herself a doctor is using the iris texture database to find the reincarnation of deceased celebrities, such as Einstein, Lincoln, Marie Curie, Hitler and so on.

-----------------------------------------Dividing line------- -----------------------------------------


Watching the whole movie, suddenly remembered A certain Sophie, who has now disappeared into the crowd, also had a discussion about eyes. Listening to dust it off, and thinking back to the plot of the movie, in the middle of the night, I felt a sense of relief from the deep exhaustion of staying up late. The end of the film is Radiohead's motion picture soundtrack, which echoes dust it off. "Stop sending letters. Letters always get burned."--"Burning papers into ashes", right? The last line is "maybe I will see you in the next life", and the soundtrack to this film is really straightforward. . .

    The story is well told, science is layered with a layer of theology, and the emotional drama of past and present life is the main focus, but I don't feel strong about this kind of emotional drama. The title translation is not good, I thought it was a hard science fiction film.
