To conceive a film that aims to convince the audience that advanced science and technology are the main cause of global problems and advocates that they should be completely abandoned, you can follow the following steps and elements: ### 1. **Determine the core theme and message** - **Theme**: Explore the negative impact of technological progress on society, the environment, and human relations. - **Message**: Emphasize the ethical issues, environmental damage, social division, and even alienation of human beings that may result from over-reliance on technology. ### 2. **Create a fascinating storyline** - **Setting**: A future world with highly developed technology but intensified social contradictions. For example, artificial intelligence dominates, the environment is seriously polluted, and social classes are clearly divided. - **Conflict**: The protagonist discovers the conspiracy or consequences behind technological development, such as AI controlling human thoughts and genetic engineering causing ecological imbalance. - **Twist**: The protagonist tries to reveal the truth, but faces suppression from technology giants or the government, and eventually leads a group of people to resist technological domination and advocate a return to nature and humanistic values. ### 3. **Create a deep character** - **Protagonist**: A scientist, engineer, or ordinary citizen with reflective ability and humanistic care who gradually awakens and resists the abuse of technology. - **Villains**: Business leaders and government officials who symbolize the abuse of technology. They may be people who once supported technological progress but are driven by greed or power. - **Supporting characters**: Team members who support the protagonist, showing different levels of dependence on and questioning of technology. ### 4. **Building a fascinating worldview** - **Negative effects of technology applications**: Showing how smart devices invade privacy, automation leads to unemployment, and virtual reality replaces real interpersonal relationships. - **Environmental damage**: High-tech industries destroy the natural environment, climate change intensifies, and natural resources are depleted. - **Changes in social structure**: The widening gap between the rich and the poor caused by technology, intensified social control, and restricted personal freedom. ### 5. **Using visual and narrative techniques to strengthen the theme** - **Visual style**: The cold, mechanized urban landscape contrasts with the natural scene, emphasizing the opposition between technology and nature. - **Symbolic elements**: Using technological products as symbols of power and control, the repeated appearance of destructive technological equipment reminds the audience of its harm. - **Narrative structure**: By gradually revealing the negative effects of technology, the audience and the protagonist recognize and reflect on the problems brought about by technology. ### 6. **Incorporate philosophical and ethical thinking** - **Ethical dilemmas**: The conflict between technological progress and human morality, such as AI ethics and the moral boundaries of gene editing. - **Philosophical discussion**: The relationship between humans and technology, whether technology really brings happiness to humans, or just brings new pressures and problems. ### 7. **Arouse resonance with the audience** - **Reality combination**: Quote existing technological problems in reality, such as privacy leakage, automation unemployment, environmental pollution, etc., to make the theme more realistic. - **Emotional investment**: Through character relationships and emotional clues, let the audience feel the pain and confusion brought by technology at the personal level. ### 8. **Provide space for reflection and action** - **Open ending**: Let the audience think about how to balance technological development with human values, rather than giving a clear answer. - **Call for action**: Guide the audience to pay attention to technological ethics through the plot of the film, and advocate that technological development should be based on human welfare and environmental protection. ### Example concept **Title**: *"Robo Dawn"* **Plot summary**: In the near future, the world is controlled by a multinational company called "New Era Technology". The intelligent systems developed by the company are everywhere, controlling people's lives, work and social life. However, as time goes by, technology gradually replaces human emotions and freedom, and society falls into a high level of surveillance and repression. The protagonist Lina is an engineer who used to work at "New Era Technology". She discovered the control plan hidden behind the company and decided to expose the truth. She joined a group of like-minded rebels to fight a desperate battle with the company, which eventually triggered a deep reflection on the world's dependence on technology. **Main conflict**: The conflict between the infringement of personal privacy and freedom by technology and the protagonist's pursuit of truth and freedom. **Theme expression**: Through Lina's struggle, it shows how the abuse of technology leads to the indifference of human emotions, the division of society and the deterioration of the environment, calling on the audience to re-examine the role of technology in life and advocate a more humane and sustainable path of technological development. ### Finally, during the conception process, we ensured that the plot was tight, the characters were full, and the theme was clear, while avoiding blindly denying technology and emphasizing the importance of balance and ethics. This not only conveys profound ideas, but also triggers thinking and discussion among the audience.
