Human emotions are probably the last firewall against technological "attacks". Even if technology advances to the level of gods, it cannot replace or obliterate human emotions. "Transcendental Hackers" clearly reveals the inferiority of human beings - not only relying on the convenience and efficiency brought by technology, but also fearing that technology will eventually ban human beings. This tangled mentality is most manifested in Grandpa Freeman and police officer Murphy. After they visited Depp's base two years later, they quickly made a judgment that he wanted to be a god and rule all mankind. At this time, Depp in their eyes was no longer the living friend, but a cold computer screen, a conflict between the enemy and ourselves that will eventually erupt one day.
The suspense left to the audience during the viewing of the film is whether the omnipotent computer is Depp, or someone behind the scenes instigated it. From the beginning, Bettany saw the "Is anyone there?" ?" There were doubts, after visiting Freeman and Murphy, and then to his wife Hall's "disarming and surrendering", and finally developed into an army to fight against Depp. To put it bluntly, the people who gathered in front were all human legions, and the latter only had the technology legion represented by Depp. For Depp, this is a battle of outnumbered enemies. Although he has powerful technological weapons, the opponent has mastered his weakness - his wife's consciousness. Depp's eventual devastation began when he couldn't turn his wife into a computer warrior as invincible as he was, so her wife would be physically wounded by stray bullets, putting her life at risk. This is an unsolvable thing. Humans envy the invincibility of technology and instinctively protect their emotional appeals. A living body and a cold machine are not on the same level.
Another suspense left to the audience by "Transcendental Hackers" is whether Depp intends to harm human beings. Judging from the ending of the film, he has no intention of doing so, because from the beginning to the end, he has not hurt anyone, but human beings. The army's self-defense action hurt Depp's wife, which made a couple die in love, and mankind returned to its previous state. Going back to the cause of the matter, everything Depp does is for his wife, and it is his wife's ideal to change human beings. She is more like a scientific businessman, and his ideal is only the advancement of technology, a typical technical otaku. The development of things seems to be a joke with their husband and wife. The otaku helps the science businessman realize her ideal, and the science businessman turns his head to stop all this. Perhaps this is also a paradox of human beings. The essence of what is more eager is because of what is more afraid of.
Wronged Depp's ever-changing face, to make him appear on the screen half the time he is on the screen, this is what a test for "Captain Jack" with ADHD.
