Abstract
Movies have always wanted to show you a perfect world. Beautiful people, completing every goal they want, and satisfying every desire. These three movies, “The Surrogates”, “Limitless”, and “The Bicentennial Man” shows you the different of desire of living in a perfect world in different plots, but having onething in common “identity”. These three great movies shows you what people could do in order to get what they want, and live in the perfect world they always wanted. One the have that perfect world, but it is not what they think. In the other movie, find the way to overcome all the obstacle and become successful and live that perfect world, and finally, the third movie, he has everything peoplecould desire of, but he does not have the pleasure of living. The similarity is that they all find their identity.

However, thinking ofbeing perfect is the way to be happy all your life, you may be wrong. Hollywood will always show you beautiful, and perfect people as the main characters, but that does not mean the real world has to be that way. These three movies I am going to talk about are an example of the belief of different person that want that ideal society, and perfection. It just a matter of how the want it, and the waythey think it will make them perfect. You could be perfect your way, but I could be perfect my way. Thus Ideal Society is depending on your thinking, belief, and imagination. That makes it not perfect at all.
