Haven't played the game, just talk about the movie. The core of the film is actually a discussion of free will. Anyway, this word appears many times in the Chinese subtitles. The apple that the two sides are fighting for is related to the free will that controls all mankind. The Templars will snatch it and control the free will of human beings all over the world. Humans have lost their free will and can be safely controlled. The film mentioned that before this, religion, politics, and consumerism have been used in an attempt to control people's will, so that most people either blindly believe in the so-called truth, or follow the trend. And now, the female scientist and her father want to use technology to achieve this. And the first step for them to achieve their goal is to find this Apple of Eden. And the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is to protect the Apple from being found by the Templars, thus protecting people's right to free will.
The movie put forward this point of view at the beginning, but it did not discuss this point of view later, but it has been stuck in the fight, killing, killing. In fact, the movie has a very grand topic to discuss, do we really have free will? Is our current life really lived out under the premise of free will?
Why do you have to go to primary school at the age of seven, and you have to read it for 6 years? Then 3 years of junior high school, 3 years of high school, and must take the college entrance examination in order to get the opportunity to receive higher education? Can education have more ways and more choices? What is such a highly unified and single educational system doing?
Why should higher education be employment-oriented? What is employment for? Is it just for people to have food and a house to live in when they are unmarried? When you reach marriageable age, you can afford sky-high housing prices that are more than your lifetime income? Then have children and pay a lot of money to raise them. They even send their children abroad to be gilded at high prices, and then the children don't come back! Then the old couple rely on this pension to support themselves? Is this the life most of us want? Is this the life you want?
If the leap of faith exists, I think the first thing to do is to make a huge leap in thinking, jumping out of the existing world view, and see if there are other possibilities outside. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter who is in the hands of Apple. They have rights, but they don't have the ability to choose, which means they don't have rights. However, this is not what some people like to see, for example, the Knights Templar.
