The American film "Equals", originally thought to be a sci-fi or disaster film, is actually a dystopian political metaphor. In this "Garden of Eden" managed by the "group", which seems to be a place where human beings avoid disaster, everything seems to be perfect, even the clothes are neat and the same; there are police everywhere, no feelings, let alone love. When the group needs to have a child, it will notify a woman to go to the hospital for artificial insemination. Any affair between a man and a woman will be reported, and natural pregnancy is even more heinous. The group works hard to prevent an SOS syndrome. Those with this syndrome are sent to a secret base in the third period, where they are encouraged and forced to commit suicide. In fact, this so-called "syndrome" without organic indications is likely to have been fabricated by the group. When you feel uncomfortable with this kind of social environment, you actually have your own thoughts and your own emotions, and these two things are the most feared and feared in the utopian totalitarian society. In the film, several people who thought they had SOS, but concealed their "illness" and were unwilling to be at the mercy of fate, formed a small group and plotted to flee. The most terrifying scene in the story is that the group informs that there is a cure for this SOS disease, as long as a shot in the neck is enough. It is conceivable that this therapy is actually a kind of mind and emotion scavenger. Once treated, it will become a "vegetative person" without thoughts and emotions, and become a model "screw" in the eyes of the ruling class.
