people are called "people"? A sound body or a complete soul? Two days ago, I accidentally saw such a sci-fi movie that makes people think and scare—
"The City of Souls"
sighed that this 1998 movie is better than "The Matrix" (1999) A year earlier, I explored the issue of human consciousness awakening, and my thinking was so advanced that I could not calm down for a long time.
checked the information online and found that this "Transferring City", "Different Dimensional Hacker" and "Different Dimensional Killing Array" were listed by many movie lovers as the 3 classic sci-fi movies most easily overlooked. It turned out that this was actually one of the "must-see" films for science fiction fans missed by the horseshoe hoof who claims to love science fiction.
However, although the overall popularity and influence of this movie is not high, the discussion among science fiction fans is very intense. However, I looked through the film reviews on Douban and other websites, and aside from the "air cannon" confrontation of the big battle, I basically discussed it in the direction of "consciousness awakening".
I think, since it is a soft science fiction movie, I might as well think about the "cake". I tried to analyze this movie from another angle, and found that it is completely (forcibly) plausible to regard this movie as another version of the human origin story:
1/ represents the "first human" John
is not only a science fiction movie, even in reality, human beings often face the test of three "ultimate questions"-who am I? Where am i from Where will I go?
In "The City of Moving Souls", the protagonist John wakes up naked from the bathtub. He doesn't remember who he is, what he did or what he was going to do. In addition to having an adult body, he is essentially like a Newborn baby.
Later, John awakens his special abilities and confronts aliens. From the mystery that has been uncovered and the human "spies" lurking among the aliens-John's "psychiatrist", he seems to have finally learned his true identity. Saved the humans in the dark city of alien planets. But all the so-called truths are actually based on two points: 1 is the doctor's dictation and the memory injected by the doctor; 2 is the information he learned while fighting the aliens and his subjective feelings.
You must know that in the movie itself, "seeing may not be true" and "memory" is messy and unreliable at all. Therefore, whether humans in the dark city were captured by aliens, or are they based on aliens? The characteristics of another race, or whether it was created for other research purposes, is simply difficult to determine! The "awakened" John of
is equivalent to the first true "new race" and the first "human being" out of the control of aliens.
2/"John Prometheus" who has the ability
classifies John as a brand new race. Another important reason is that he, as an experiment "raised" by an alien, has an alien creation Material abilities, and more powerful than aliens.
This reminds me of many interesting metaphors in Western mythology, such as the "Prometheus" who created men in Greek mythology, whether he created humans with clay or brought fire to humans, and taught humans Various skills. In "The City of Moving Souls", John awakens his abilities and defeats the aliens, putting an end to the terrifying reign of the aliens to tamper with the memory of "humans", like the metaphor of Prometheus stealing fire for humans?
In addition, the restart movie "Prometheus" of the "Alien" series, the "Creator" used the earth as a testing ground to create human beings. It is hard to say for what purpose, perhaps in their minds, the weight of humans is far less. Research on "alien" is valuable. But inadvertently, mankind has formed a civilized society.
In "The City of Moving Souls", John, the doctor, the inspector and others are similar to the awakening of earth civilization, the pursuit, resistance and transcendence of the Creator. It means that the "human" race was born independently in the true sense.
3/"God" John Genesis
proves that "Importing Soul City" is the last point of a movie about the origin of mankind. At the end of the film, John's series of "miracles" operations.
At the end, John's ability became stronger and stronger, and he seemed to become the master of the dark city. He added a circle to the periphery of the dark city based on his pursuit of sunshine and sand in his "memory""Ocean" and tilt the angle of the dark city to let the sun shine on the earth.
At this time, the dark city has land and sea, and revolves around the "sun", as if it already has the embryonic form of the "earth". With the passage of time, there is a complete probability that the dark city will "evolve" into a spherical shape. This is nothing more than a question of whether John's brain is big enough.
John created everything and brought down the "miracles". At the same time, he stopped changing the human memory back and forth, so that human history can record. So...yes, yes, John is him, and humans have published an "album" for him called the Bible. Nothing wrong! It makes sense! The
codeword is so tiring, please follow me and encourage me to push good movies every day! I am coffee, see you tomorrow~
