First of all, this is a great movie and worth watching. Therefore, in this review, we will not reveal the entire plot of the picture, but only draw your attention to those moments that remain in silence, but understanding them will make your acquaintance with the film even more meaningful and interesting.

The picture tells the viewer the story of a utopian future in which people have created the most comfortable conditions for themselves without wars, fears, illnesses, negative emotions … or rather, no emotions at all.

This ideal society is controlled by a council of elders, symbolized by the sign of the pyramid. Note that in Hollywood films, the pyramid usually symbolizes Freemasonry.

In order for the society to be stable and manageable, they erased the memory of the historical past, taught it to speak only the truth, worked hard to change the lexical composition of the language, removing all "unnecessary" words. The creation of a family and the birth of children was turned into a mechanical process. Despite this, people seem to live happily, there are no problems, conflicts, no death, everyone has their own job and a cozy home.

But the question arises, are they PEOPLE, and do they LIVE?

The film clearly shows that anyone who tries to create a system of total control sooner or later comes to the understanding that, in order to make this system stable and as stable as possible, he needs to change the nature of man. To deprive it of emotions, feelings, memory, and in fact - to turn it into a car. Those. for the dream of the current builders of a new world order to come true, it is necessary to make all people a biomass that does not know history, whose emotions and feelings are limited by instincts and primitive needs, and all actions are subject to a standard set of rules. But will we remain human in this case?

The main character of the film makes a choice for himself in favor of the fact that real life with all its joys and tragedies is much more important than ideal comfort. And begins to fight the system to bring people back to life, but not with iron and blood, as we used to see it in Western films, but love … Interestingly, he is assisted by one of the members of the council of elders, who, in theory, should be responsible for the preservation of the existing order.

The feeling of love in the picture is revealed much broader than just the relationship between a man and a woman. This is love for children, love for all the people around, for the sake of which the main character is ready to overcome fire and ice; love of life itself, as a person's attitude.

There are many interesting thoughts and symbolism in the picture. For example, the protagonist helps his girlfriend "come back to life" with the help of an apple, which receives injections that block emotions. Apple - in the film becomes a symbol of the rebirth of life. And the descent from the mountain according to the plot means the destruction of the pyramid of knowledge, the existence of which before the advent of the Internet made it possible to maintain a crowd-elite system.

In another moment, it is very correctly shown that the person who knows more has a great responsibility for his actions and the lives of those around him.

When viewing a picture, pay attention to how powerful the right words have, and how important it is to call things by their proper names.

After watching this film, try reading the reviews of experts from popular publications, which sidetrack the discussion and do everything so that you do not watch good films that promote the good and the bright.
