The movie steadily advances the plot in a seemingly casual conversational manner, and in the back-and-forth dialogue, one after another incredible argument is thrown out like a bolt from the blue, followed by explanations given from unexpected and novel angles, leaving people overwhelmed.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense, and finally, someone could no longer bear such a strong impact.
The psychiatrist was tormented to the brink of madness by this subversive “Cool” sensation; he lost control of his emotions, suddenly pulled out a gun, and frantically pointed it at the male lead, looking as if he wanted to vent all his inner collapse and anger.
This sudden intensification of conflict was like a heavy bomb, instantly stunning everyone present.
It must be known that the psychiatrist had studied for most of his self, deeply believing in the knowledge and theories he held, but now, these theories were completely overturned in an instant, and even more fatally, he racked his self brains but could not find a single piece of evidence to refute them.
Under the immense impact of this completely subverted cognition, feelings of collapse naturally surged in like a tide.
Originally, it was just an ordinary farewell and moving, who would have thought that the situation would develop to such an out-of-control state?
Finally, with everyone's comfort, the psychiatrist's emotions temporarily eased, but his spiritual world was already riddled with holes, and he could not break free from this absurd atmosphere.
He shouted and left the casual conversation circle full of anger; he knew that if he continued to stay, his self would be completely devoured by madness.
However, the psychiatrist's departure did not stop the discussion in the room.
The others had already been deeply attracted by the male lead's imaginative remarks, played by Kerry, as if they had been pulled into a whole new world of thought by an invisible force.
After discussing the topic of death, everyone's focus naturally shifted to the sensitive and much-discussed field of religion.
For European and American netizens and audiences, the importance of religious topics is self-evident; it is deeply rooted in their culture and lives.
At this moment, they are filled with strong curiosity, eager to know how Su Yu, the screenwriter, will skillfully handle this crucial plot.
After all, in Europe and America, religious beliefs have a wide and deep popular base, and if handled even slightly incorrectly, Su Yu will likely find it difficult to gain a foothold in this market.
On the screen, John's voice sounded again, with a sense of vicissitude accumulated over the years: “I grew up reading the Old Testament; my wife grew up reciting the Quran. My eldest son is an atheist; my youngest son believes in Scientology; my daughter studies Hinduism. I can imagine religious wars breaking out in my living room… but we tolerate each other and live in peace. Why can’t you sit down?”
The male lead's words sounded increasingly mysterious, like he was telling an unknown legendary story, and the movie's tense rhythm was perfectly controlled at this point, allowing the audience to feel a strong ideological impact without feeling overwhelmed by too fast a pace.
Although the entire scene is relatively singular, confined only to the room, the movie successfully captures the audience's attention through clever plot arrangement and rhythm control, which undoubtedly demonstrates Su Yu's excellent directing ability from the side.
However, this movie, labeled as “science fiction,” left many viewers confused.
In their traditional perception, science fiction movies are often filled with grand cosmic scenes and Cool technological special effects, but this film seems to have no connection with these elements.
What they saw was Su Yu's bold, almost crazy, imagination and bottomless screenwriting talent; those novel ideas and unique narrative methods immersed the audience, making them unable to extricate themselves.
Some Hollywood big-name stars, usually well-informed, couldn't help but open their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief, staring intently at the screen, listening attentively to this story that made them think deeply and fearfully.
Unconsciously, their thoughts seemed to have been strongly impacted, with a feeling of being subverted.
At the same time, numerous media professionals, journalists, and film critics were also excited, all eager to try, secretly planning that after the movie ended, they must write down their shock and emotion and share their unique insights with the general audience.
In the film, the psychiatrist who had left earlier, after calming down slightly, ultimately could not suppress his inner curiosity and returned to the room.
He seemed to be driven by a mysterious force, intent on hearing the end of this suspenseful story.
And the male lead, played by Kerry in the movie, continued to “Cool” everyone.
He began to deeply analyze his self understanding of religion, and his method of unfolding the narrative, like peeling a cocoon, made people feel as if they were in a deep academic discussion.
Immediately after, he threw out an even more astonishing statement—he claimed that his self was Jesus Christ.
As soon as this was said, it was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves, and everyone immediately fell into a frenzy.
They widened their eyes, their faces full of astonishment, unable to believe their ears.
However, facing everyone's shock and doubt, the male lead's narration did not stop there.
He continued to tell his story, claiming that his self had integrated the ideas of Eastern Buddhism into Judaism, and that the Gospels, which people later knew, were adapted from his self experiences.
At this moment, everyone in the room fell into a state of madness; they racked their brains, doing everything they could to try to refute the male lead's statements.
Although they were all top figures in their respective academic fields, possessing profound knowledge and keen thinking abilities, facing the male lead's calm and composed voice, and his seemingly absurd yet self-consistent views, their long-held worldviews began to crumble and were completely subverted.
Some people's bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if inner fear was spreading outward through body language;
Some people completely fell into madness, muttering to their self, seemingly trying to verbally resist this subversive impact;
Others had red eyes, staring intently at John, the male lead, their gaze filled with anger, doubt, and unwillingness.
“Fuck! This is simply a lie, isn’t it?!” Seeing this, Bob couldn't help but curse.
But he his self might not have realized that he, who had originally come with a critical mindset, was now deeply immersed in the plot, his emotions involuntarily swayed and pulled by the plot's development.
This seemingly frivolous, imaginative topic was like an invisible vortex, drawing many viewers into it, making it difficult to escape.
Everyone eagerly looked forward to seeing the final ending; they urgently wanted to know whether the world in their self cognition was still real, and whether the male lead was just a lying charlatan or truly, as he said, a prehistoric human who had lived for fourteen thousand years.
