The basic concept of this drama should be that "spirit and flesh are separated", if you can't understand this premise, this drama will not be able to watch. I personally agree with it, and even particularly like to think about it. This type of play is generally assumed to be a game mode, and this play is more like a large-scale interactive RPG simulation game. The information (spirit) stored in the memory card corresponds to the player, and the body (meat) corresponds to the game character. Interestingly, who is this game designer (or what?)
The movie that I saw with this setting a few years ago was "Another Dimension Hacker" (also known as Thirteen-Dimensional Space), and the last screen of the film was "been" closure. In the fourth episode of the third season of "Black Mirror" that I recently watched, the old lady's tired body was finally buried in the ground, but her soul was placed in a "dream wall" by an intelligent robotic arm. How can it not be considered another soul infusion? So is there life and death in that dream? What about "dead" again? Is there another dream in a dream? If you think about it, it's very similar to the setting of "Inception". Layer after layer.
In the fourth episode, the part where the male protagonist was mentally tortured was particularly shocking.
Suppose the male protagonist's body is the first layer of the world, and after plugging in the connector, he enters the middle world (second layer). He truly felt emotions, pain and fear on the second floor. Just as he was about to "collapse", there was an "illusion" - his trainer appeared. Telling him to be afraid, crying, and panic won't help him get out of the status quo. What can save him is not how to deal with the "torturer" in front of him, but to find the "controller". "Accept what you see." Facing it squarely is equivalent to telling the "spirit" that what is in front of you is "fake", and that the pain in your body at this moment (the second level) is also an illusion, and you have to break through this level to return to the previous level. Therefore, some unexplained phenomena seem to be able to be matched with this theory. A certain terminal cancer patient is alive and well, the symptoms "disappear" and so on. It's not necessarily that these people have figured it out, but let it go, let the pain go away, and live a day counts as a day, but instead they have broken through that realm. It's a bit like a nightmare. You feel that you are trapped and can't break free. You are afraid of fear, you struggle desperately, and suddenly you wake up suddenly. What's more interesting can be imagined, the game controller wanted to use his illness to see "you"'s jokes, and have a good time, but "you" didn't cry and scream miserably, hey, it's boring, just follow "you". "Go ahead. Um.
The female trainer didn't quite understand it for a while. Was it the real body of the female trainer in the female body that was collapsed by the "bug from Beijing" at the time? I understand that this female trainer is actually a "reference" for the male protagonist. Like the spinning top in Inception. Stronger than a spinning top because it is "alive".
In this episode, the policewoman places her grandmother's memory in the body of a male criminal and takes him home to a family dinner on the Day of the Dead. But obviously neither a mother-in-law nor a mother can accept this "kindness". Grandma even said "accepting death is part of life". Face the "death", in a way, maybe "the end" is better. The so-called "rest in peace".
If the future is really like this, with countless memories of the past, put into the "new" body, will you be happy? Not necessarily. Just like those rich people who live in the clouds, they are old and not dead. They have experienced everything and can't be moved by anything. They can only look for so-called stimulation, but it is not happiness.
In this way, our mother Meng is really a good person. I will give you a bowl of forgetfulness soup. After drinking it, forget it and go to reincarnation to experience the joys and sorrows. Great good.
When I just finished reading it, my thoughts were congested and my literary level was insufficient. The writing was messy, and I wrote whatever came to my mind. First of all, let's fill in and modify it.
