Uma's eyes are so charming

Films adapted from Dick's novels usually give people a paradoxical feeling. What he wants to express is neither a lament about fate nor a pessimism about human nature, but how human beings guide their own future. In his works, we don't see big heroes, and we can't find big villains. The protagonists are often small people who have become innocent victims because of some unknown element. They shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the whole world while saving themselves before the end of the world. In Dick's writings, there is no real reality. Some non-important factors such as prophecy, memories, and dreams have become everything above the real life of human beings. Living in a precarious reality, the subconscious and the cost of life are used to fight against the impossible. The danger of foreknowledge, that's what Dick brings us to reality.
