逃出克隆岛

When Significance of life is Unevenly Distributed...
                ----A Movie Review on " The Island"
It is a science-fiction with an intriguing plot that will stun all reviewers
It undertakes a depiction of future that both awes and frightens me
It is a revelation on a conduct of technology that goes beyond ethical norms.
  
    "The island" is a wonderful movie which takes you to the future. The plot is set in 2019.
    In the previous one-third of the movie, wiewers are deliberately miss-leaded. Suspence is created when all members in a special shelter all wearing the same white uniform universally longed for winning the first price of a lottery---to settle down in The Mystery Island. Viewers see these people conduct a very strict, but health diet, do physical exercise on visual-reality machines--ganranteeing them free of physical damage while ensuring the right intensity and portion of excercise. Viewers also see them learn to read and do work in a lab. Reasonably, conjecture is formed by viewers that thus is the healthy future life style after the alluged "Big Contamination".
    This early assumption is overthrown as the story propels. The bold, horrible truth gradually reveals. The Mystery Island turned out to be utterly a conspiracy and those "future human" turned out to be duplicants--products of a technology firm. Viewers proceeds to discover that in 2019 or so, wealthy people have the priviledge to take full advantages of cutting-edge technology to sponsor a duplication of themselves. The "products" are claimed by the firm to be vegetables-- a complete system of organs of human body deprived of brain-- which justify humanity of the operation, hence the firm founders and the customers are rendered free from the accusation of disrespectance of human life. If "sponsors" are in need of organs implantation, the duplicates will be the organ providers and this will be the cessation of their lifes.
    The movie put me in meditation on the real meaning of life, existence and identity. The duplicates are considered as "products" by laboratory workers, since technology at that time failed to develop vegetables from which organs, skins or reproductive capability could be directly harvested or harnessed. their sponsors are genetically the same as them, who are unaware of their existence. There are thousands of duplicates. Their existence is kept a secret, their identity is deprived at the beginning of embryotic stage. However, they get from "memory implantation" a certain message, a notion that justifies their being,that gives
them self-accpetance, that "You are very special. You're born for a reason."
   This could be understood scarstically in two ways.
   First, human assume that their being conveys a special evangelic significance. Indeed, they are born for a special reason. They stick to their uniqueness. But what human being put to those duplicates are cruel and inhuman. Duplicates are indeed also born for a reason--that is, for the mantenance of health and the convenience of their sponsors. Yet these duplicates have the same consciousness and emotions as normal human. The bravery and willingness to fight for their own survival is impressive and respectable. It taught me that it might be necessary for us to win identities through fights and struggles. Even when it comes that I AM a real being. I have mother and father and ancesters. But acknowledgement of my being depends on my attitude, my way of living.
   Another connotation of "You are very special" associates with the prevalentg American notion. Children, specially American kids, are taught in an early age that they are unique. This is considered to enhance their self-esteem and to build up their coompetence, which is to some extent in the juxtaposition of the philanthropic notion of "We are not so different after all." I admit that I am influenced by the "self-conciousness of uniqueness" by a considerably large scale, like I've undergone some memory imprint. But as I enter my adulthood and get to know people a bitter more, I start to question this. I AM special. But that won't wipe out the characteristics in me that also belonged to my generation. We have similarities. We understand each other. None of us is isolated though sometimes we are hit by the paroxysm of egocentricity. I am aspired by those duplicates who earned their own identity and value independent from their sponsor. If they can discover the true value of theirs, why can't I, without clinging to the illsion of extreme feeling-good uniqueness, work and live whole-heartedly to discover and dignify my own identity and value.

   看到开头一个梦境后，男主人公生活在一个高科技的封闭空间里，我心里暗自嘲笑，又是模仿《黑镜子》，结果这片子是2005年的，而且本片有个很不错逻辑安排和很让人起付的情节。克隆人不像人类想象的那么无知，人类总是这么自以为是，以为自己可以战胜一切，高于一切。

个人认为翻译成《岛》最合适。“岛”不仅是克隆人被蒙蔽的眼中唯一的天堂，也是克隆工厂的虚拟幻象，更是人类的贪婪冷漠与男女主角对正常生活(或者说是平等的权利)的向往。“岛”带给我们的是科技在人类贪欲下的挫败感，以及追求人权的希望和曙光。

    科学的发展经历过宗教的百般阻挠，它克服了，现在它又碰到了新的难题——道德。二十一世纪最伟大的发明是什么？克隆应该算得上了吧，君不见许多人为了它不惜以身试法、铤而走险，韩国的“克隆之父”黄禹锡更是不惜作假欺骗国民以达成他个人的所谓科学建树。让我们看一下克隆的历史，1952年·克隆蝌蚪——1972年·基因复制——1978年·试管婴儿——1997年·克隆羊——1998年·克隆批量化——2000年·克隆人类近亲——2001年·克隆人？，看到这里，各位是否有些惊心动魄？

    本片的主题即是克隆人，一家克隆组织为了赢得巨利，为正常人类提供克隆服务，亦即克隆一个与原型一模一样的人，为原型提供各种更换用的身体零件，他们死后的价值远比生前更高。该组织对克隆人宣称外面的世界是经过辐射污染的，所以他们必须生活在与外隔离的建筑里，并且每隔一段时间随机抽选一名克隆人去“神秘岛”，实则是该名克隆人实现他价值的时候到了。而其中的一个克隆人林肯基于人类的本能——好奇心，发现了这个秘密，于是他带上即将被送去“神秘岛”的乔丹逃离了该建筑，并且找到自己的原型，破坏了克隆组织的建筑，使得所有被拘禁的克隆人都自由了。

    看电影的时候，我当然是站在主人公的立场上，当主人公设下圈套使杀手误认原型是克隆人而将其杀死时，我还暗暗叫好，但看完电影仔细回想，站在原型的立场上，才发现这个故事有些可怕。试想我身家上亿，而正好有这么个公司提供克隆服务，我当然愿意花个上百万买个保险以备所需，而克隆人的生产过程我肯定不会过问，谁吃猪肉还得知道猪是怎么养的，但哪天那个克隆人就出现在我面前，要求我的帮助，最后还设计取代了我，故事倒过来看还真透着那么一点阴森。其实重点就在于当克隆人具备独立的思想时，他还能不能被称为原型的克隆人，还能不能作为一种商品进行交易。听着有点绕口，人与人的区别就在于独立的人格，而当克隆人具有独立思想、独立人格时，他与原型就产生了区别，或者说他就是一个独立的人，而非原型的附属品，所以再把这时的克隆人视作商品就相当于倒卖人口了。而目前世界上绝大多数国家都是禁止生殖性克隆人的，但在治疗性克隆的领域还在继续探索中。

    一项科学技术的产生必将推动人类进程的发展，但与此同时，它也必将成为双刃剑，至于如何好好的把握这项技术，使它真正为人类服务而不是成为商人获得非法利润的武器，这么高深的问题当然留给科学家和法律家考虑了，而我只希望睁开眼时不会看到和我一模一样的脸。

这是预言。

影片中研究所里的人们的生活都是被安排好的，可以吃什么，不可以吃什么，连你可以想什么，都是被制定好的。我不禁想，是不是做爱，怀孕等都是计划的，没想到连两性知识都没有。一切都是计划的，人们没有自己的喜好，也不能有，只要服从安排。这是计划社会的预言。计划社会就是批量生产人类。是人们的终极社会，因为，以后不会再有了，人类已经毁灭了。而计划社会离我们不是很远呢。

这是写照。

看这部电影的时候，我不禁想到了朝鲜。
朝鲜人的处境跟电影里那写克隆人多么相似：从一出生就被洗脑，这里是天堂，外面都是污染，这是人类最后的净土。对此稍有疑问，即是被污染，则销毁掉。

这是警告。

有人很庆幸，这里不是朝鲜，也没到计划社会。其实不然，生活就像沼泽，充满危险。社会上有很多权威，领袖。他们负责提供思想，我们负责装配。不知不觉中，合格的产品就出来了。人是懒惰的，社会上有各种想法，拿来用就好了，干嘛费那么大劲，活的累不累呀。有独立想法的人就这样被淹没了。

影片说的好：圣岛真的存在，就是我们自己。

人类社会说不定就靠我们呢。但是我们敢质疑吗？有自己的想法吗？

我的竞争情报视角
IVenture

1. 片中经营克隆人产业的商业模式是什么?

  克隆公司通过无性繁殖生产克隆人, 客户(原体)如果身体发生损伤, 则可从克隆人身体上切除相应器官来移殖, 这样手术就不会产生排斥效应了; 原体如果不愿承受怀孕之苦, 则也可使克隆体上接受原体丈夫的精子, 片中克隆体生下小孩后就被公司杀死, 估计是客户的合约到期, 或客户觉得保留此克隆体已意义, 或想再购买一个未生过小孩的克隆体.

 健康,无痛楚是人类的永远追求, 克隆人作为原体的 "身体零件备份器" 或 "痛楚承载体" 自然成为高端客户市场追逐的"产品"!


2. 封闭环境下的单一媒体情报传播就是真理

   一帮克隆人与世隔绝, 封闭在一个大容器里, 虽然21世纪的媒体传播技术炉火纯青, 全息成像,电梯超大屏幕, 电子桌面在片中不时可见, 但传播的谎言就是这群享受高科技人群一直信以为真的真理, 这不就是一座"信息孤岛"吗? 当情报能垄断时, 愚民威力无穷之大, 在当今商业社会, 股市的情报误以为真理, 多少操盘手庄家胜出, 多少克隆人(股民)在即将被切除器官前还将假象视为希望…… 伪情报制造了危机,推进了危机公关业,竞争情报媒体的发展空间又在哪里呢?

3. 赞助广告无处不在?

此片的广告太露骨, 我看到的就有 Apple Nike 卡迪拉克 MSN

非常不错的构思，关于克隆技术所引发的道德问题的反思。

影片开头全球污染和the Island的悬念很不错，可惜后半段草草了事，男英雄女英雄随便赛一下车，挥几记拳头，坏人们就全部完蛋了。

有两件事情非常的离奇：

黑人雇佣兵那么冷血铁齿，怎么就一看到女英雄手腕上的疤痕，便弃暗投明，成为揭竿而起的义士？

那么高科技现代化的克隆帝国，怎么连散热问题都解决不好，一个看起来好像生产自上世纪六七十年代的大风扇居然成为帝国崩塌灭亡的关键？

最后一个问题，这个大结局之后会发生什么？

成千上万的克隆人获得自由，涌入社会，克隆的相貌、指纹、眼膜，甚至记忆，天哪，这岂不是比环境污染更加可怕的世界末日？

首先是前期的炒作
然后是烂到蹦蛆的票房
接着又是狂风暴雨般咒骂

可能是饕餮的水平有限

商业电影就是商业电影
觉得不配给自己欣赏就奔欧洲吧？
看完了又抱怨人欧洲电影专攻下三路

这就是我一个朋友
一个让我无奈的朋友

作为一部商业片
该有全都有了吧？
帅哥：没人会怀疑伊万的长相
美女：内小妮子怀春的样子也让人不能自已了
场面：追杀的动作场面自然流畅，紧张刺激
剧情：选题宏大，虽有部分情节处理幼稚，但并无伤大雅

都还行吧？
那不就得了！还想要什么啊？

比起《神奇四侠》要好看得多啊！
神奇四侠有稳定的漫画观众群，冲着这个也少搂不了
要我说“神四”的剧情更幼稚，四个变异的痴男怨女在美力坚的土壤上横行卫道，铲除邪恶，最后一人一大招儿冒充合体技不敢让人相信地轻松拿下了内有点儿犯二的总boss并赢得一片欢呼。这种大圆满的结局和深入思考克隆人的隐患比一下，哪个更俗啊？

算了吧？歇歇吧！
心态很重要
还是算了...
见仁见智

哈哈哈哈
