LAST FOOL, THE cover image
I like the film, The Last Fool. I really enjoyed the plot and the actors' performances. It reminded me of an action movie in a way because of how fast-paced the plot is and the clear distinction between getting eliminated and being free.

It is the year 2090; there is a program called the Nuwa Project; its goal is to increase children's intelligence rates through genetic modification. All the children live miserable lives and feel isolated from the real world because they are trapped in labs constantly being examined for their intelligence. Jojo is a kid that isn't in the labs and discovers a very harsh truth about this program that the outside world has not seen before.

The plot is pretty fast-paced and it's even faster because the dialogue is not in English. So, you have to make sure to pay attention to the subtitles. The camera work is very clear and it is very film coded. The main character, Jojo, plays an exceptional role as the protagonist who wants change for his people and his community. He discovers a harsh truth about the labs that no one knows about. He opens the outside world's eye to the harsh reality that the kids at the Nuva program face. The costuming plays a big part in identifying the characters. The kids all wear a plaid blue colored uniform and the adults, who are mostly chemists and scientists, wear lab coats and goggles. The story takes place in a city in China in the year 2090. The director's work stands out here because of the film's concept to take place in the future and the storyline following a group of kids who are trapped in a lab and being treated as guinea pigs. My favorite part is when Jojo unravels the truth that has been hidden for a long time about the Nuva Program.

The film's message is that technology can be dangerous if not used for the right things and by the right people.

I give The Last Fool 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Hafsa H.

In 2090, the "Nuwa Project" sweeps across the nation--a program aimed at making children smarter and more perfect through genetic modification. However, Jojo inexplicably becomes the last "fool" in the world. In his search for a serum to avoid being cast out by society, Jojo accidentally uncovers the truth about this world...
