The story of the American drama "Hanna" must make you familiar, not only because it is adapted from the movie of the same name, it is also a bit like Cameron's "Dark Angel", and it is also a bit like the Netflix American drama "Strange" which was popular in the past two years. Story", a bit like JJ's "Edge of Crisis/Fringe"! It can be said that the setting of this American drama has been called a classic type in American dramas. The basic elements of this type are: a little girl who is genetically (or some kind of biotechnology) modified/enhanced, she is different and even talented since she was a child, she escaped from the base by some chance and carefully contacts the society, However, she gradually discovered her own differences, her loneliness, and her own destiny—the story for which she wanted to break free and resist, and even avenge and save herself. In trying to integrate and confront the society, she gradually understands the infinite potential contained in herself, and then what she has to do is to learn to control herself and the huge energy in her small and seemingly weak body. Can she pull it all out effectively at critical moments? In a sense, she is almost invincible—because she represents cutting-edge scientific experimentation.
What is this story about? Is it a repressed woman, a doomed destiny, a discovery, a resistance, a redemption? Stories like this keep happening. Because this story is the story of this era — feminism, biotechnology, human augmentation, science governance. And this kind of expression through film and television works is a very interesting phenomenon. Cameron told the story, JJ. Abrams told the story, and more recently Stranger Things. The most important thing in this story is always this she - our heroine, who is almost on a mission to save the entire human race. She represents us against the enormous power that this entire society and system, the scientific research base and its armed forces, represent.
What exactly is this body of power going to do? What is the goal of the scientific research system it controls? It is control, discipline, and transformation—creating 100% obedient humanoid weapons to guard the system, and at the same time it also creates the system’s own potential greatest enemy. Is this the fate of the system? Or what a work of art like this is trying to say is this kind of story - what we represent in such a spirit of rebellion - the mass or the multitude (in Hart, Negri's words), and in this Does the illusory manifestation of this spirit of resistance time and time again represent a kind of success—that is, by dispelling the possible mobilization of the spirit of resistance that is really necessary? Has anyone really been awakened, mobilized? More people still regard it as a kind of entertainment. Only a few people can understand the absolute spirit in such works - the absolute spirit that is the destiny of our age, and its resistance.
