hot feeling

This movie seems to be a utopia in the human imagination, and it is also because the imagination is concrete, practical and highly feasible, so this movie is labeled as "technological thriller". Although there is no creepy fur horror from the beginning to the end, the overall atmosphere presented makes people nervous and uneasy, thinking deeply. Human beings will not stop on the road of pursuing perfection. They want to use all possible advantages as their own steps before birth, and become the furthest person who can easily swim. But in such a large environment, it is not only the unmodified god's children who suffer, but also the genetically optimized people who have everything at their fingertips. At the end of the movie, Eugene chose to end his own life. I think it wasn't because of his physical disability that he didn't have a dream for too long, and he couldn't get the joy he deserved after achieving his goal. His world is always a flat road and the wheelchair he is stuck in looks like a huge gap. There is no difference. He walks on this road, stands, runs, sits, and it is the same. For him, his innately optimized genes still keep his heartbeat at the optimal rate. But at the moment when he was burning, I think he was returning to nature, and he finally experienced the feeling of a dream. It was very hot and urgent and it made people feel exhausted.
