human reality

In fact, it is a repeat of the patriarchal society in the past thousand years, and the control method has changed from female morality to brain chips.

But reality is far crazier than brain chips, and women are madly pursuing beauty in the eyes of men.

Acknowledging your own imperfections is the most important thing in the modern world.

Because we are human beings, not gods, nor God's creatures.

We are animals, with repressed animal nature, and we all have the instinct to protect ourselves, which is selfishness.

Modern society is built on the recognition of the human rights of everyone, and everyone has the right to work for their own interests within a legal framework.

Without realizing this correctly, a perfect society is a utopia.

Because people are people

I thought that some plots were bigger and bigger, but I didn't expect the director to be so restrained.

    The movie itself is rough, but the concept is interesting. 1. The ideal wife a man wants is an advanced housekeeping robot + sex toy who can't think independently. This is probably the true idea of ​​many people. So isn't it an ideal choice to turn people into robots directly? 2. The initiator of this project is actually a female engineer, who first transformed her husband, which is also very ironic. It shows that the carrier of patriarchal thought is not only a group of men with vested interests, but also women. 3. Perfect personality and perfect life are a lie. Neither life nor people can be perfect.
