Let’s review the plot first. There are 3 episodes in this drama, and each episode is less than 80 minutes, which is equivalent to 6 episodes of other American dramas.
Episode 1 is mainly about the coming of the Super Lord, transforming the earth into a communist utopia, and distributing it on demand.
The 2nd episode is high and low, and the gods are chattering, mainly because Chaozhi uses the earth's females to give birth. (The demon image of the Super Lord hints at the end, tempting human beings, giving human beings sweetness, and finally destroying human beings)
The third episode is the end, all the children ascend to heaven, consciousness and super-intelligence are integrated, and super-intelligence completes reproduction. And the earth's energy was sucked dry and exploded. (In other words, the energy of the sun and stars is large, and the energy of the planets is much less.)
In the early and mid-20th century in the West, there were a lot of dystopian novels. The setting of this film is relatively new, but the actual perception is a bit high and low, and I watched a lot of violations after more than 60 years.
1. The conspiracy of the aliens in the drama is mainly to make the earthlings sterile and take away the last child.
The 1950s was a baby boomer era. The author never imagined that the birth rate in developed countries would drop sharply, and many people did not want to have children. Now, many people in China can’t even get married, let alone have children.
2. The episode describes that aliens prevent Earth people from continuing to develop science, and science dies.
Now that war, famine, poverty, inequality, and environmental pollution have been resolved, there is no need to develop technology. But obviously, the development of science and technology does not conflict with these. For example, human beings are indeed still weak in environmental pollution, but famine and poverty are obviously social system problems, and have nothing to do with science and technology. For example, there are enough houses in China for far more than 1.4 billion people to live in now, but many people do not own their own houses and can only rent in other people's houses.
Even if the aliens want communism as a bargaining chip to stop scientific research, it will be attractive to the middle and lower classes. For the top, it is not only unattractive or even retrograde, unless the aliens force it, but watching aliens in the drama People have always been friendly, so it certainly doesn't stop the rich and scientists from continuing to advance science.
3. The setting of not working and not making money.
People in the 1950s really took it for granted. It is now 2021, and artificial intelligence still has not made a breakthrough. According to the original Soviet Union and China, although it was a planned economy, everyone still had to work and earn wages, and then they had to buy tickets with tickets. Under the planned system, the production capacity is insufficient, and everyone lacks materials. Even if the material is extremely rich now, the gap between the rich and the poor is not considered. The novel and the series still take this briefly, and a big production and distribution issue is not described in detail.
First of all, agriculture, industry, and construction must be done by someone, and these commodities must be produced. Then tertiary production, transportation, medical education is a must. Distribution is also a big problem. It can be seen that for thousands of years, there have always been a few people with high consciousness. Our richest man can still call 996 a blessing in 2020, which violates labor laws and has no morals. And now the pastoral women's boxing is getting more and more intense. In such a society, you can count on a high percentage of people, 25% in the United States and 50% in China, to engage in agriculture, industry, construction, transportation, not paying wages, and only producing, and everyone is not greedy, but only asks for material things according to necessity ?
Some western countries with good welfare have solved these problems realistically, that is, labor is expensive. As long as you go to work, your income will not be too low, enough to buy a house and live. Going to school, seeing a doctor, and raising children will be subsidized by the government.
4, on the cultural settings.
The drama mentioned that culture and art were abandoned. According to the superintelligent collective consciousness, this may indeed be the case. But adults have no collective consciousness. In addition, is it utopian communism, people have no cultural and artistic pursuit?
On the contrary, it is the various ZZZQs in Europe and the United States, the positive energy in China, which limits the development of culture and art.
5. The setting of extremist religions.
In the second episode of the series about religious women, I used to think that YSL was more extreme, but after watching this drama, including Nicolas Cage's "Pagan" and other related religions, I found that Christianity is also quite extreme. Anyway, I really hate that female religious woman, although her appearance may be the best in the show.
6. Add an example
Da Liu's short story, People and Devourers, should be the name. It tells that the alien dinosaurs raised the earth people very well, and ate them at the age of 70. 99.9% of people accepted and lived happily. Only The male protagonist and a few others are fighting. In other words, can you live to be 70 years old if you die in a happy life for 70 years or if you are unfortunate, which one do you choose?
