I have always liked movies with this subject matter. There are sci-fi and adventures, and I have always been a cult. I can understand various details and representative things in the film, including the main name of the opening school, EMBER CITY SCHOOL, Several of the letters disappeared, namely E, C, O, which are the first three letters of ECO, ecology (ecology, sustainability), which implies that the city lacks ecological development methods and lacks sustainability. In the next scene we see a scene from the early days of the Industrial Revolution, huge machinery and factories, and dazzling incandescent lamps.
Seeing survivors from all over the world gather in the last remaining oasis reminds me of Noah’s Ark. Many netizens asked why the ground could not be inhabited. That was because of the devastating nuclear war that broke out. Almost all people in the world Died from a nuclear explosion and nuclear pollution, because it was contaminated by nuclear radiation and the ground was no longer inhabitable, so the survivors were moved to the ground underground and the Glimmer City was built. The huge moths, beetles, and moles are the products of nuclear radiation. Of course, human beings don't want to be extinct in this way, the remaining people in Glimmer City are the last kind of fire for mankind, and their destiny is to continue the incense of mankind. Scientists estimated that it would take about 200 years for nuclear radiation to fade away on land (another scientist asked if 200 years is enough at the beginning of the film), so the lockbox was set with a countdown of two hundred years. Unfortunately, 47 years before the countdown, the mayor belched, so the box was not handed over, so the protagonist's big adventure came along.
Someone asked why the escape plan should be locked in a box without letting people know in advance. What is important is confidentiality. If it is not 200 years old, some people can't bear the temper and want to go out, and the ecology on the ground has not been restored, it would be miserable.
This film reminds me of Pixar’s robot mobilization, because the background of the story is environmental destruction and human extinction, except for a small group of people who boarded the Ark or built an underground city, and those who survived didn’t know the original design. The original intention of the author, the surviving people will overcome difficulties and return to the earth and the earth. In short, I feel excited thinking about this subject matter.
