This article contains a spoiler.

After Okja (2017), a film that proves the potential of Netflix's production has been released. In fact, it is an ironic structure. I can't believe I went to a movie theater to watch the movie even though I can enjoy a lot of content with the same money. The movie theater made me rethink the meaning of the place.

The feeling I had throughout the movie was what it would have been like to be made by Hollywood producers such as Marvel, Disney and Warner Brothers. As it is a movie directed at TV or mobile device users, I felt that the movie lacked action in terms of expression and scale. Since I saw it in the space of movie theater, I expected more influential move, but I felt a little bit sorry.

Lack of food, genetically modified foods and side effects... The story of how they solve the problems that we fear the most was brilliant and refreshing. It led the entire play through a confrontation between an individual who wants to be free and an individual who wants to engage and control the unknown fear of the future. In the end, control was won by virtue, which did not view humans as a subject of life and who was a person who had a sense of identity and wanted freedom. And the " virtue " revolution was followed by the sacrifice of the other five twins. It was about the revolution for typical freedom. It was the movie which stimulates an unknown fear of a government trying to control humans. Seven twins live as Karen Settman and are always afraid of being caught, is reminiscent of the novel ' 1987. ' The movie's setting led to 80 percent of the movie, and the rest left only a few out of seven to the end to see how many more will survive.

The corruption of grandfather who sacrificed to save all seven twins and Monday's anger of betraying the rest of the family to save his babies were cross editing, causing them to become so cruel. In the end, through exposure and revolution, humans had the freedom to give birth and twins also gained the freedom of identity. But ultimately what the film is trying to convey was Keyman's final line. Warning. It was a warning that we had a better future than this, as we faced indiscriminate development and selfishness, resource depletion and starvation.

It was a movie about the immediate future, with a small action scale missing for the movie. Can we ignore warnings about a possible future in 10 years?
