After watching "Agent" (the title of this film was translated into "Future Cop" and became popular, really...), this is the only question that remains in my mind.
Surrogates is a good idea, but it's too general, and it's a pity that it's a good subject.
But Bruce Willis looked at his young and handsome self and felt good.
The connection between the manipulator and the agent is severed, and suddenly the whole world seems to be dead, completely stopped because almost the whole world uses the agent. why not? The agent is not afraid of bumping or touching. Even if he lacks an arm or a broken leg, he can still run like a fly, and he can appear in front of "people" in whatever way he wants. Therefore, the streets are full of young and beautiful "people". We are all smiling... Human desires have been directly and completely satisfied, and the world is happy and peaceful...
No matter if you are a wife who lost her beloved son in a car accident, disfigured, and is on the verge of mental breakdown, or a tired , depressed, often reprimanded by bosses, and quite powerless, or the college student Kante who went to the "Four Points" bar behind his father's back to party and his father "prophet" who created all this and wants to destroy it , agents bring them a life that allows them to do whatever they want - what could be more "perfect" for a person?
But, wait a minute, wait a minute! When you perceive the world and "others" through electronic computers, networks, electronic signals, etc., what can you "perceive"? Do you feel the wonderful vitality of the flower buds slowly opening in the spring breeze? Have you smelled the fragrance of the leaves from the distant mountains in the autumn wind? (orz Ouaihua Manlou! orz) Can you pass " Touching "the lover"'s cheeks and gazing into his (her) eyes to convey love to each other? Can your far-off perfect "body" experience the sweaty and hearty refreshment after full exercise?
"This real pain doesn't feel the same, right?" The Prophet asks the "real" Tom (Bruce Willis), who is crushed by two "real" big men.
"The Prophet" Kanter suddenly repented, he wanted to be truthful, and for this, he did not hesitate to destroy everything he had created, and even took the life of his son.
Tom also wants to be real, he wants to be real with his real wife, real to soothe real each other's real pain. His partner Peters is surprised when he sees the real Tom: WOW! You are like your agent! orz Tom uses a proxy that looks a lot like himself, unlike most people who are so different between "real" and "proxy". Even in pain, Tom wants to be real.
"When you sacrifice your personal desires for a greater purpose, for a greater faith, you have eternal life and you will live forever. That's what it means to be human. There's no substitute. You can escape reality. To live, through puppets, through machines, but in the depths of your heart, you know, you are living by deceiving yourself... Here, within these high walls, we have learned the true meaning of life, and we have given up many Modern pleasures and comforts, to experience real communication, not by machines, but by ourselves. This is the premise of being human, this is the meaning of life.” said the prophet.
In the human reserve, the children bathed in the sun, ran on the green grass, and caught the baseball with their own hands... Seeing this scene, Tom was moved with emotion... This scene has explained everything.
Finally, let me say this: this film is really not ordinary! orz
