Everyone is in constant choice, and a few choices will always become the most striking mark on the clock face of our life, and will take a fundamental turning point at that moment. And what Kundera thinks is "There is no way to test which option is good, because there is no comparison, everything is experienced at once, only once, no preparation... living only once is the same as not living at all. the same."

If our lives no longer have a dead end, then all the choices we face become irrelevant, and the values ​​that are necessary for the choices become irrelevant, because we always have enough time to experience all possibilities; If we no longer experience and experience time in difficult one-time decisions, time will lose its meaning close to life and become a purely external mathematical measurement tool. In Heideggerian terms, beings must plan life (life) toward death in order to enter real time. As time, efficiency is conceptualized, people of our age begin to struggle with the fast-paced linear time, and no longer focus on the other life possibilities lost in it.

The whole movie just let me know a lot of Money's fantasies, but in the end it didn't tell me what little Money's final choice was, the last possibility is the most skeptical. There is no other way or another world for reference and comparison, and even if there are other ways and worlds, there is no standard of value required to make the right choice. Even if we know all the possibilities of any one choice, we still cannot make the "right" choice. Even if we in the future completely rely on technology to be bound by time, space and even death, will our lives be more happy because of this? Dormer was skeptical and cast a humble, bland "future man" in the film (a reporter who visits dying Nemo).

A rain wet the phone number written by Anna, Moni once again lost all contact with Anna, he can only come to their old place, wait there, and can only give hope and happiness to chance and vagueness. possibility. Money's body floating on the chair is gently held up by the inextricable contingency and ignorance of life and the fantasy used to make up for this shortcoming. As Thomas pondered his options from the window of his apartment, his body might also be floating in the air, bearing the "lightness of being" like Money.
