In fact, the movie setting should be somewhat different from the Oshii Mamoru theatrical version. It should not be so easy to mechanize human beings in the film. The place where Hero Kuze helps Major "evolve" is not to enter the Internet, but to actually promote the process of human mechanization. If cyborg loses his previous memory, there are only some similar "story background". What is the difference between fake memory and the host in Westworld? So the Major was not a cyborg in the true sense before, and her existence cannot promote the complete mechanization of more people. I think this part of the movie is actually telling us that only by respecting the personality and privacy of citizens can human beings become cyborg meaningful. If capitalists and regimes are allowed to change their appearance and memory, then human beings will just degenerate back to the host. .
