Surrogates


Caught the film Surrogates with weikiang, dayan, hui and nicholas today. It is a 2009 science fiction film, based on the 2005–2006 comic book series. The plot : FBI agents (brue willis and radha mitchell) investigate the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves – fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles – enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who’s real and who can you trust? In fact in real life, there is already difficulties faced in entrusting others beside yourself. With the implementations of machinery, this world will be even more chaotic than we can imagine. The emotions part of humans will be neglected as well. Let's hope that there will never be a day like what was shown in the film.
