In the future where science and technology are very developed, people can no longer live according to their own wishes, and their fate is arranged before birth; people can determine the inheritance of genes, and genes determine people's fate, but technology cannot control people's thinking.

In a future world where genes determine destiny, genetically defective Vincent and Jerome swap identities to fulfill their flying dreams. In order not to reveal his true identity, Vincent has to prepare every day to deal with the space center's strict genetic verification supplies, such as urine samples, blood samples, even hair, dander...

【Behind-the-scenes production】
Mutants are a sci-fi thriller about how we deal with technological life. Producer Stacey Sher said: "Based on today's genetic testing, Andrew Nicole has created a complete and believable future world. In the world Andrew created, though, genetic control has nothing to do with politics, but is purely economic. The richer you are, the more privileges you have and the more control you have over the fate of the next generation. Everyone can connect with themselves, feel that they are not good enough in some way, and hope to be perfect. But in the face of a future that can be changed, are you making the right choice? And how do you overcome your own genetically determined destiny? ”
Like the film's top-notch cast, the film's behind-the-scenes cast is an elite cast, including Oscar-nominated production designer Jan Roelfs for Orlando, Oscar-nominated costume designer Colleen atwood for Little Women, Slawomir idziak, cinematographer of the Blue," and three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Villier. Ve neil and so on.
【Film Review Reference】
When Ethan Hawke's beautiful blue eyes float above the screen with tears flickering at the end of the film, when Jude Low disappears in the fire with the medal on his chest, there should be few people who are not moved. It is another good film that I almost missed because of the translation of the name.
I can't imagine that in just a few days I actually found a second movie that I regretted not watching in time, and I missed such a good work can only be attributed to its crappy name, oh my God ~ "Mutant Strange" What is the name!
First of all, I have to admit that not seeing this movie as soon as possible is my biggest regret this year, this excitement has a similar feeling to watching "Death Poetry Society" in the first place... and what surprises me even more is that the male protagonist is ethan hawke, the male second protagonist in "Death Poetry Society". This is probably a feeling of being in the dark, right?
Mutant Alien – ugly name, beautiful story!
To be fair, this low-budget science fiction film has obvious flaws in terms of narrative, film language and technology, but it has brought me no less shock and thinking than science fiction blockbusters with a huge worldview setting such as "Star Wars".
