For the first time, I feel that the high-tech may not necessarily bring convenience and happiness

I really like this one, very good.

In the past, I always felt that the advancement of science and technology brought to mankind the improvement of living standards and quality of life, the convenience of personal life, the reduction of poverty and pain, the greater comfort and happiness, and the extension of life expectancy.

After watching this movie, I thought for the first time that maybe the advancement of science and technology brings human beings not necessarily progress, but regression.

Human emotions are considered primitive, barbaric and bad. .

Everyone has become more isolated and lonely. During the process of watching the movie, they feel that what is the reason for living like this, no friends, no family, eating is a small box for one person, and what else is there to do to earn money. .

In the end, a problem that human beings had faced for centuries was solved, and "Wangqing Water" was invented.

From now on, you no longer have pain, no worries, you go to work every day in neat and tidy clothes, with a standard smile, everything is calm, unified, no clutter, no crying, laughing, sad or happy

Then there was no joy

Someone commits suicide

I remember a lot of idioms

Pleasure gives birth to sadness

    You tell me this is a love movie, and the dopamine is dead, okay?

    Very sincere. I also praise the director's simple, sharp and unified narrative style. The lead actress is amazing.
