The Island (2005 Movie)
I watched this movie The Island the other day and it is really good. Why? Because after I watched it, it makes me think whether we are being brainwashed by our religious authority to do good in this world, so that we can go to heaven (in the movie, heaven is The Island).
It makes me wonder if we should be like Lincoln E6, this character is played by Ewan McGregor.Lincoln is inquisitive, adventurous, daring & a rebel.He and Jordan (played by the oh so gorgeous Scarlett Johanson) escaped and saw what they are made of.
The movie is said to be borrowed from various sources i.e. The Clonus Horror (1979), Matrix or even Plato.Who cares? We on this ASEAN part of the world may not know what those movies or sources are and as far as I am concern, Hollywood can rehash new movies with old plot to make it fresh.
The Tagline for the movie is "Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"
The basic plot is : In the future and if you are among the super rich, you can have clones made for spare parts and basically lengthen your life by about 70 years through this process. Now the clones live in an isolated environment deep underground in this super-structure where their lives are basically a huge gym with evil trainers. You don't know you are a clone, you believe you are a survivor of a plague ravaged earth and you are being maintained and cared for the eventual repopulation of the earth. All you know and want is to go to The Island to which you can only be chosen by a lottery system. The lucky few get to live topside on an island paradise.
