    The reflective consciousness is greater than the formal consciousness, so in fact, the reversal of the entire structure is still relatively blunt, and the ending is "are we still playing games?", throwing this illusoryness directly. Cronenberg's bad taste has never been...

    The theme is very interesting. Today, when the somatosensory game is becoming more and more perfect, it may really blur the boundary between the game and reality. When the plot is so outrageous that it is about to get out of control, the finishing touch is worth thinking about. However, many disgusting shots can actually be...

    It turns out that the multi-layered dream nesting has been played by Cronenberg in the last century, including the time difference. The couples can clearly distinguish the real and the illusory, but the others seem to be really numb. The so-called game addiction kills people, literally. Umbilical cords, chrysanthemum-like objects, scenes from churches, Chinese restaurants, teeth and other images symbolize and ridicule many things. The director's always heavy taste, sticky, dirty, with a sense...

    The forward-looking is very high, but it has not become a benchmark and a classic because of its obvious shortcomings. For example, the logic of the character's action line is not clear, the coherence of the plot is insufficient, and the suspense is forcibly created, which is almost seen by the question...

    In view of the filming in the 1990s, the idea is commendable, but the acting skills~~~~ deformed amphibians are too B-class~~~ and the design of the socket, I can't help thinking about...

    The body is occupied by the game and the space is dominated by the mind // Sigmund Bowman's point of view on Baudrillard's simulacra There is no longer any way to find illusions from reality, or to discern what is real and what is false. Let alone find any way out of this predicament." "Simulations never hide the truth—the truth is there. Concealing nothingness, simulacrum is real." Edward Sawyer. The Third Space [M].p302-304 // Cronenberg is...

    I don't understand the German version very well, but it seems to be fine. Cronenberg is probably the worst director...

    I don't know if this is a game or a movie. Probably as Descartes said "i think so i am". @Bruce...

eXistenZ quotes

  • Ted: It was no accident you and I ended up on the run together.

    Allegra: Not an accident?

    Ted: No.

    Allegra: That's why you never had a bio-port. You were one of them.

    Ted: I still am one of them.

    Allegra: But you have a bio-port now.

    Ted: I made the bio-port sacrifice to get close to you.

    Allegra: Why would you want to do that?

    Ted: To understand what I have to kill.

    Allegra: Then understand this. Understand that I knew you were my real assassin when you pointed that gun at me in the Chinese restaurant. And understand that you're dead. Death to the demon Ted Pikul! Have I won? Have I won the game? Have I won?

  • Yevgeny Nourish: Trying to remember who you are?
