The movie is very long, very boring, with very gloomy characters, and wonderful performances. I only kept torturing myself after Clayton knew the truth, whether I still have the courage to face the truth.

Under the leadership of Clayton, the lens has a numbness that goes with the crowd, marriage failures, investment failures, and gambling. Although he is an excellent problem-solving expert, he has never been able to get on the front desk and can only hide behind and wipe his butt for the boss. He was breathing hard, trying to survive, trying to be a good father, but it was never easy.

Here is another big company U/North, which controls everyone. Karen seems to have the power to live and kill, the killer duo seem to have the power to live and kill, the old man of U/North is also powerful and powerful, but they all It looks like a piece of chess being used. It is really alive, but the one that is really alive seems to be "U/North". This is a weird idea, but it is the only idea I have seen many videos of this type. People who were alive have turned into a tool of an otherwise imaginary capital company, whether it is the chairman, CEO or ordinary employee. We are all enslaved by the original name without any entity. We are like a section of the assembly line. We don't know where the raw materials in our hands come from, where the things passing by our hands will go, and what will become in the end. We seem to be dead, and only this capital flow process is alive.

I thought of "A Scanner Darkly", "The Constant Gardener" and "Renaissance". Under the glamorous coat of high-tech companies, there are bloody lives. Human beings are greedy for profit and wealth. Become a slave to profit, or become numb, or involuntarily become one of the lifeless cogs with no past and no future. With this huge machine, it turns endlessly.

The acting skills of George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson were all wonderful. The editing of the shots was very exciting between the two public speeches played by Karen played by Tilda Swinton and the previous speeches in underwear. The final match was a direct match with Clayton. very classic. But after I read it, it was Henry Clayton’s really smart boy that day, and the red book "Realm and Conquest" that he had been reading and recommended to his father and even Arthur. ".

Henry: All these people, they had dreams in the beginning. Do you know what pursuit is?
Arthur: I know, it's like, a special dream.
Henry: Except for this group of people who have the same dream, they all dream that they should go to a place, they don't know why, they just feel that they must go there.
Arthur: Then they were called.
Henry: That's exactly this chapter, "Conquer is Calling", which is its title.
Arthur: But do they know? They all have the same dream.
Henry: I don't know, that's what's interesting. They all think that only they can dream, they may be crazy or something, so they don't admit it.
Arthur: But they are not crazy, are they?
Henry: No, it happened for real.
Arthur: So it happened, didn't it? Those things are bigger than them, and they are not ready to accept them.
Henry: Yes, but they will be ready soon.

After searching a bit, I found out that this storybook is a fiction in the movie. The truth will only be revealed when we are ready.
