At the beginning of the movie, in the dark alley on the street corner, the male protagonist Tetsuya Cangshan (played by Nakamura Lunya) was blocked in the alley by the debt collector for debt, and at the critical moment, Cangshan was rescued by an uncle dressed in yellow, the man claimed to be a mentor, he knew that Cangshan now had nowhere to go, and life had no hope. It takes Cangshan away to a mysterious town.
Cangshan entered the town in a coma on a bus, and many people in the same car, like Cangshan, had no foothold outside. The town is like an isolated place, everyone who enters the town, the staff will implant a chip in the neck, along the way the radio and constantly promote, the town is a place full of freedom, equality and friendship.
Here, everyone has a separate room, the room is very simple and there is nothing, in addition to a stack of paper full of room numbers, there is only a guide Bible specially compiled for the people in the town, Cangshan is more curious about the town than fear, and began to read the Bible.
The Bible says that the town is separated from the outside world by a fence of freedom and equality, and outside the fence is full of discrimination and violence. This fence is a barrier to protect the happy life of the townspeople, and should not be climbed over at will. Cangshan didn't know what the consequences of turning over did, and the Bible didn't give an answer.
Cangshan did not go out after checking in, when bored to read the Bible, the town prepared a pool for people who had nowhere to release their energy, Cangshan found a pair of swimming trunks in the closet according to the prompts, just in the locker room of the pool, a young girl took the initiative to greet Cangshan, but the way of greeting was a little strange, and also gave Cangshan a post-it note with a number card, Cangshan was confused, did not understand what it meant, the girl left.
Coming to the pool, Cangshan met a sexy long-haired beauty (Sue Yonglu) who also greeted Cangshan in a very strange way, Cangshan was very confused, asking about this way of speaking, it turned out that here, all the residents did not have names, the way to greet was to say: your good friend, and then add a word of praise to each other.
Cangshan also understands the connotation of the number of post-it notes, post-it notes are invitation cards, meet people you like, you can give your room number to each other, wait until dark, if the other party also has the will, will take the initiative to go to the door to communicate in depth, do anything you want to do. There are only rules, desire can be vented, but if you want to fall in love and get married, this is not allowed, the beauty also cheated Cangshan, as long as you accept the Post-it note, you must go, otherwise you look down on each other.
In the evening, Cangshan went to the number plate room as promised, the owner was very active, after a cloud and rain, Cangshan was ready to leave, because Cangshan also received a note, ready to go to another appointment, the owner of the room learned the reason why Cangshan wanted to leave, and was amused by Cangshan. There is no requirement to go to the appointment, and Cangshan is deceived by the long-haired beauty.
There is no special canteen in the town, except for a pack of compressed biscuits given when you first checked in, and if you want to get food, you have to do tasks. The task is very simple, the network to give good reviews, you have to brush the internet to evaluate, they according to the instructions they get, on the network to help others brush positive or bad reviews, when your task is completed, the system will provide a delicious food, you can also choose not to do, so you can only eat some expired junk food, Cangshan in the brush comments and met a glasses woman to give him a note, now Cangshan knows that receiving a note can also choose not to go.
On this day, Cangshan came out for a walk and met a long-haired beauty, who asked him to get in the car and go out to work. It turned out that there were also some opportunities to go out to work here, they wanted residents to disguise themselves to go to the polling station to participate in the political campaign vote, and they would also pretend to be consumer customers, and queue up outside the restaurant to be entrusted, Cangshan was very fond of long-haired beauties, he saw that long-haired beauties were often subjected to number plates, and Cangshan also moved his mind.
During the meal, Cangshan handed her own post-it notes to the long-haired beauty, who knew that the long-haired beauty pretended not to see, and Cangshan was very embarrassed. It happened that the glasses woman who did not go to the appointment last time also came over at this time, staring at Cangshan grumpily, as if complaining that Cangshan did not go to his room, and the embarrassed Cangshan gave the post-it note in her hand to the glasses woman.
In the evening, the glasses woman arrived as promised, and Cangshan routinely undressed the glasses woman, but the glasses woman was not so enthusiastic, and Cangshan was not interested. The two had nothing to talk about, and the glasses woman said that she was a murderer, so she came to the town, which shocked Cangshan, and it turned out that there was really everyone in the town.
The next day, the spectacled woman took Cangshan to a place, the place where a small child lived. The place was locked, and she told Cangshan that she was the mother of one of the children, and if the child came here with her parents, their children would be taken over by the tutor and raised alone, and the children could not meet with their parents and could not go out of this small house. This arrangement of the town made Cangshan feel a little unacceptable.
On this day, Cangshan and the long-haired beauty together to soak in the hot spring, at this time an old resident of the town glasses man proposed to turn out the town's fence to see what new things, Cangshan was also more curious, so he followed the long-haired beauty and the glasses man, plus a fat man and a group of four people went to the fence. The glasses man turned over the fence, Cangshan and Xiao Fat saw that nothing had happened and also went out, but they didn't go far Cangshan and Xiao Fat heard a harsh noise coming from their brains, and the louder they went, the louder they went, and the sound tortured the two to a headache.
It turned out that the chip implanted in their necks when they first entered the town was what controlled them. After this incident, it suddenly sounded an alarm bell for Cangshan, at least the town well was not as beautiful as it was seen by itself.
On this day, they have another mission, they play a group of innocent people who have been attacked by the mob, and the next day the TV news broadcasts the incident of the mob's injury, and Kimura (Shizukawa Ishibashi), who is watching TV, immediately recognizes the injured long-haired beauty in the picture, which is her sister who has been missing for a while. Kimura rushed to the hospital, but the hospital said that everyone had been discharged from the hospital with minor abrasions. The TV looked like it was full of injuries, how could it be a slight bruise, which was obviously a bit abnormal, and with intuition, Kimura followed the man in the suit who was muttering to the doctor.
The man in the suit could not withstand Kimura's persecution and threats, and gave Xiaohua an admission ticket to the town, but if he wanted to enter the town, he needed to sign a document, and when he signed the document, he was a black household, and the people in the town were invisible people without household registration in society. In order to find his sister, Kimura signed the documents and got on the bus. After getting into the car, Kimura was confiscated of his mobile phone and forced to swallow a pill before passing out.
The same process, Kimura entered the town after the neck was also implanted with a chip into the town, Kimura inquired about the whereabouts of his sister everywhere, the long-haired beauty took the initiative to find up, it turned out that she was Kimura's sister Sue Yonglu, Kimura and his sister had a bad relationship, the sister was married and had a daughter, but she was not happy, the sister's husband often domestic violence, the sister took her daughter to Kimura, Kimura did not help, all a little resentful Kimura. Kimura wants to take his sister and niece out of here, the sister does not agree, the sister likes the current life, does not worry about eating, drinking and sleeping, and does not have to live a life of fear, the key here men are desperately trying to please themselves, she enjoys the current life.
Cangshan knows Kimura's relationship with the long-haired beauty, he took Kimura to find his niece Xiao Peach, looking at the captive Peach, Kimura's heart is like a knife, such an environment grows up, the child is ruined. Since his sister did not leave, Kimura decided to take away Xiao Tao, she slowly looked for opportunities, Kimura will also go out to work with them, work for a long time, Cangshan likes Kimura, he decides to help this girl who looks different, Cangshan sometimes feels that people living in the town are more like being trapped in it.
If you want to escape the town, you must first solve the torturous chip of the big neck, the only way is to steal the decoder, which can temporarily release the control, as long as you leave the area of the town, you will be fine. Soon, according to the plan, the two deliberately sounded the alarm to lure the caretaker to steal the decoder, and took The peach away, they ran all the way out, but the town was too big, and the decoder was out of power at dawn.
That torturous voice came from their heads again, and just when they were desperate, the voice suddenly stopped, not that they had left the town, but that the discipline had come, closed the control, and the discipline was driving ready to take the two back to the town, and on the way, Cangshan suddenly shot out the discipline, threw the discipline out of the car and got into the car and fled.
The two who returned to normal society again made it difficult, because there was no household registration, the two could not even find a job, there was no place to live, they could only sleep in the car with a small peach, they could not make money, Andosean took the road of stealing, and not long after Kimura was found to be pregnant. Cangshan made a mistake, he couldn't even support himself without a job, how to raise a child again, at this time, the discipline that took Cangshan into the town appeared, the chip could be located, and the discipline found them.
Discipline did not forcibly take them away, but kept telling Cangshan's current predicament, Cangshan was very unwilling, what he wanted was for the whole family to work together, how it was so difficult to live together in love with each other, Discipline handed Cangshan a business card, he told Cangshan that this was the contact information of other towns, and then left.
A few months later, Cangshan had a job, Kimura's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and they also had a new residence, the hill of the town, Cangshan wearing a disciplined dress, and the people who had been in captivity had become pig keepers. The ending of the movie is a bit chilling, and the freedom emphasized in the Bible of the town guide is precisely what the town lacks the most, and it is not just the fence of the town that restricts them, but the comfortable life of the town.
At the end of the film, like friends can point a like, add a concern Oh, thank you!
