2020 is coming to an end, and I wish you all a happy New Year's Day
Do you sometimes wonder: What is the future of humanity? Will the Earth go extinct? Is there an end to the universe?
Today, I recommend 10 science fiction short films for everyone, each with a novel setting and a big brain hole.
1. Water Drops, 2015
Douban score: 8.7
Referral Index: ★★★★
Fandom forced to die in the official series
The film is based on The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest.
It tells that one day in the future, the United Nations sent a message to the universe. Soon after, the Trisolaran Fleet struck the sun with murderous fury.
Humans have dispatched all the space fleets, but Earth civilization is too low-level.
The Trisolaran simply dispatched a waterdrop-shaped probe, and the human fleet was destroyed.
The atmosphere rendering of the short film is very good, from the universe to a water droplet, the camera is pulled to the end, with the background sound of people discussing alien civilizations, it is very shocking.
2. "What evening this evening" 2015
Clone Immortality
The little girl Emily received a video call from someone across from her claiming to be her third-generation clone, from 227 years later.
They are actually one person. In the future, people could clone themselves to immortality, or store their consciousness in a computer after death.
The third generation emily took the little girl on a tour of the future world.
When the body is no longer an obstacle to the soul, but "it is always easy for man to get lost in memory".
The painting style is minimalist, peculiar, and the brain hole is very large. The present man is born lonely, while the future man is dead and lonely.
3. Uncanny Valley 2015
Douban score: 8.6
Virtual games
The plot is set in the future world, and the government department has developed a virtual game dedicated to some slum people who are willing to fall.
The player clips a ring-like device in the center of the nostril, and you can experience "eating chicken" in real people.
Until one day the program bug, the male protagonist saw a sad woman and her dead husband in the game.
He suddenly realized that the monsters in the game were real people, and they were just bullets of the government.
The film's high concept, ending twist is amazing, game and war, virtual and realistic, and thought-provoking.
4. The Scavengers 2016
Homecoming for stray aliens
The short story is simple, a man and a woman wandering on a foreign planet, making all kinds of efforts to experience the feeling of coming home.
Inside, the various landscapes and animals are cleverly designed and brain-opening.
5. The Wanderer 2014
Douban score: 8.5
Future human cosmic life
People who have lived on the earth for tens of thousands of years still yearn for far away and the unknown universe.
One day in the future, technology can finally allow people to roam in space.
So human footprints are all over the solar system, and mars, Titan, and Europa live with many humans.
Among them, humans have also made their own planets that can live. Comes with real photos of the universe, so cool that I have no friends.
6. The World Is Born of Love, 2007
Douban score: 8.3
Build towns in 3D
The story is set in an alternate world, and the male protagonist enters the dream of the vegetative wife through high-tech means.
In his dream, he built a town for his wife with love.
From the street lamp of the building to the small flower, he carefully designed it.
The protagonist of the short film uses 3D modeling to create a building, which looks as cool as playing a game.
Building a house expresses his love and longing for his wife.
7. Cricket Chip, 2013
Douban score: 7.9
Chips control the human brain, choosing the gospel of difficulty
In the future, scientists have developed a cricket chip.
Implanted in a human neck, it can help humans with advice or completely control human behavior.
The male protagonist is a chip repairer, and he himself encountered trouble when repairing chips for an autistic boy.
Essentially, it tells the story of human beings' excessive dependence on technology and their own degradation.
In fact, when you face life, you choose simple or difficult mode.
8. Planet Likes 2014
Douban score: 7.7
Human civilization was created by a small alien.
The story is about a 14-billion-year-old alien whose race can shape the planet.
He was tired of the boring work all day.
So he began to scribble on a meteorite that happened to be the moon.
After a "destruction" on the lunar surface, he also pushed the moon into orbit around the Earth and rotated.
The arrival of the Moon triggered tidal changes on Earth, allowing life to begin to survive on land.
Thus evolved into humans.
The short film is big and explores the topic of Genesis, if aliens created us, then who created aliens
9. Horizons, 2012

In the future world, there is a contact lens called "Sight".
After wearing glasses, life is all-round intelligent, real game experience, identifying information, helping you make choices and so on.

This kind of black technology texture full of vision of the future, when dating and love can be analyzed by computers, is there still a sincerity between people
10. Bad Robots 2011
Douban score: 7.6
Horror robots
In the future world where the robot industry is developed, robots are the best playmates for boy Yak.
As his parents always quarrel, Jacques's temperament becomes gloomy and eccentric, and he begins torturing the robot.
The angry words during the quarrel were used as instructions by the robot, and the robot then killed Yak's entire family
The biggest discussion after watching the short film is:
Do robots follow orders to kill people, or do they have their own will?
