Keanu Reeves, the male god in his heart, started watching the movie "The Clone" because of him. He is the character Wilfosk, Keanu Reeves, and you and I who have been hurt by cruel fate, so in this movie with such complex emotions, with the car accident on a rainy night, on and off the screen, we Feel Will's despair as he goes mad.
If we are ordinary people, in such an encounter situation, we will despair and collapse, and as a high-IQ rational thinking Wilforsk, is willing to go all out and try with what he knows. In the same situation, we are more likely to be controlled by the social ethical and moral framework, trying to bring our loved ones back to life, and being bound by the thoughts of the people around us, we cannot muster the courage to do it. When Will makes the opposite choice to us in the movie, it seems to make up for our regrets in the movie at the same time.
When the growth chamber was not enough to resurrect everyone, why was Ed not resurrected? Why the abandoned party? When I first started watching it, I felt wronged for him and sad for him. For 17 days, Wilforsk kept communicating and communicating with Ed, and Ed gave him support at a vulnerable moment, but in the end Wilforsk gave up Ed. As I left the movie theater, I kept thinking about why. When I put myself in Will's identity position, I make the same choices as Will. I don't want to put my family at risk, I don't want them to be hurt again, I love you, but I have to make trade-offs. The selfishness and complexity of human nature jumped out of my mind like this. Like the lines in the movie: "I violated so many laws of nature, I just don't want to lose you (family) again."
In the finale, Wilforsk and his family live away from the world and spend the rest of their lives on the island, where he has created a paradise for his family. This is an HE ending. Another he (the mind of the robot body Wilforsk) chooses to work in reality to make money and provide nourishment for his dream paradise. The Wilforsk in the real world in the movie is just the confirmation of our real world outside the movie.
In this world, we have lonely souls and cold bodies. We walk in the sun and in the dark. This is our true self.
