From "mind reading" to "brainwashing"

Overall, the intention is good and the performance is average.

The film ostensibly stated that a man was brainwashed by the government after he was sentenced to death. The government asked some experts to monitor the man, falsify his mental illness record, fabricate all his past, and trick him into believing that all his memories are self-comfort in a mentally ill state. His dreams allowed him to accept the second life designed for him by others.

The core of the film is to be satirical and critical. Naturally, the government in modern society uses experts and theories as tools to brainwash the public so that everyone can accept the "memory" and "thoughts" designed by the government for the people.

It is a pity that the filming of this film is too slow and too flat, so that I can see what the director wants to say while watching "Need for Speed". I believe those friends who are concentrating on watching the film are going to fall asleep.

Finally, I followed the director’s line of thought and dug up some information: When people can’t know themselves, they can only let others act as the mirror. The theories and experts of psychoanalysis can easily be used by others to confuse right and wrong. , A tool for brainwashing others. The director also seems to be critical of psychoanalysis. This very clever "mind reading" often degenerates into "brainwashing."

    Another film with a familiar plot. At first, I thought it was a near-death state, but later I thought it was schizophrenia. Finally, I found that it was to break the shackles of the conspiracy illusion of the surrounding environment and prove myself, similar to "Air Crisis", but relatively dull.

    I haven't seen the Fast and the Furious series, but the news of an actor's death always makes people feel inexplicable. I flipped through the list of works and picked a favorite subject to take a look. The film itself has nothing to say, but the conclusion is that Paul Walker does He's a good actor, but it's a pity.
