Dystopia

In fact, there are many reasons why this film is not popular, and I won't say more, but its bright spots still exist, which makes this film still have a high viewing value.
The first show is cool. This film can be said to have reached a very high level, whether it is the theory of spearmanship, and the white clothes that the protagonist finally wears all the way, and I expect to be able to fight the protagonist for a while. After being cut off by a spike, there is an unparalleled coolness in it. Of course, this is also necessary. For a so-called utopia without emotion, natural expressions are redundant, and colors are redundant. Black and white is the main tone, and austerity is the main expression. Everyone seems to be working, but it doesn't seem to have any meaning anymore.
This also raises another question: Does utopia or such utopia really exist? is it necessary? One of the characteristics of communism is to work happily for others and the society. First of all, regardless of whether there are such high-quality individuals who can not serve themselves for others, is this a kind of disguised tone that people cannot have their own personal interests? Perhaps this idea is very beautiful, but it will inevitably become a tool used by others, and eventually become a blank check that cannot be cashed.
Of course, I was surprised to find Lincoln and Ma Hong who had escaped from prison. Ma Hong was okay. At least there were more scenes. Lincoln showed his face at the beginning and finally fell into a box near a certain box. I don’t know. Is there a minute?
Of course, there are still many shortcomings in this film. For example, the plot design is relatively simple, a demon king, a hero who overthrows it, and a new cover. The content is no more than that. The high-level boss is too veteran and the battle screen is serious and not addictive. Questioning the feasibility of self-administered drugs, etc. But this film is still a more enjoyable one. The protagonist is handsome enough, dressed enough, and played hot enough, it's enough.

    (7.5/10) Political fables and utopian assumptions are not the main objects of discussion. Although they have borrowed from quite a few dystopian movies ("Metropolis", "Blade Runner", "The Matrix", "Nineteen Eighty Four", etc.), I didn’t go deep into it. I used this utopian setting as a kind of story background, and regarded emotion as the source of crime, and built a totalitarian state without emotion, just like Wens in "Nineteen Eighty Four". Dun Smith, the male protagonist Peston is the worm in the Empire State Building, successfully overthrowing the rule of the empire, quite optimistic heroism. The number of commercial films makes the action scenes very emotional, and "The Matrix" has a great influence.

    The setting of the movie itself is quite old-fashioned, the action is also very stupid, and the plot is also very messy. But the paragraph about the pistol Tai Chi is really interesting, exciting and creative, and I will add a star. Four stars.

    Partridge: What is it you think we do?

    John Preston: No. You've been with me, you've seen how it can be - the jealousy, rage.

    Partridge: A heavy cost. I pay it gladly.
