PRELIMS: Activity 3

Watch the movie entitled Bleeding Steel (2017) starring Jackie Chan. Relate the movie to the philosophy of
John Locke about personal identity, consciousness, and memory.

The film is about a Hong Kong police inspector Lin Dong (Jackie Chan) learns that a biochemical
invention has been surgically implanted into his missing daughter. With help from a hacker, Lin tries to
connect the dots between the device, a sinister army and a strange phenomenon. The movie is a binge-
worthy movie, the science fiction and an action storyline are fantastic. It also has a great plot. From the
beginning up to the end. It is a little bit emotional though, of how a father stays separate from her daughter
just to protect her and overcome his duty. Furthermore, Jackie Chan films are always amazing.
The movie is also related to the Philosophy of John Locke about personal identity, consciousness,
and memory. Consciousness can be transferred from one substance, body and soul to another. For
instance, when the soul is changed, the consciousness remains the same. In the movie, a young girl named
Nancy who is plagued by strange nightmares where doctors and experiments were conducted in a

m
er as
laboratory setting. Subsequently, it was revealed that Xixi (Lin Dong’s daughter) is the younger Nancy. She
was revived by the effort of Dr. James. James fitted Xixi with a mechanical heart and a biogenetic blood

co
eH w
that enhanced her regenerate ability. In the end, it was showed that Li Sen survived in the explosion of the
scene. Bleeding Steel was a great movie that relates consciousness remains the same even when the body

o.
and soul is being changed reflected to John Locke’s Philosophy.
