After seeing the promotion of "Copy" (English name Altered Carbon, I still think it is more accurate to translate it into carbon), I became very interested in this drama. There is no other reason. This kind of cyberpunk world similar to Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner has always been my favorite. In the context of this technological world, people can easily turn their imaginations into reality, putting aside physical settings. to explore deeper social and philosophical issues.

Of course, as far as the show itself is concerned, under the gorgeous appearance of the extremely stunning future world, there is no such thing as Blade Runner, which is enough to support the plot of the whole world. The protagonist's thinking is clear and strange, the supporting roles are entangled, and halfway through, a brother and sister are killed, and the result is the final boss. In short, I felt a pity while looking at the question marks on my face.
However, the play is still interesting at one point, that is, it expresses that in a highly productive technological society, the relationship between people is rarely maintained by blood ties, but by common interests, cultures or ideals. . For example, the attitude of the immortal (Meth in the play) towards his children is almost just a projection to satisfy his desire for control and his own expectations, and has no substantive feelings; for example, the male protagonist and his sister eventually turned against each other because they insisted on different ideas. As the male protagonist, he was a member of the resistance organization and had no blood relationship with anyone, but he was willing to devote himself to a common idea; the same applies to the companions that the male protagonist convened.
This actually describes the tendency of clan society, blood ties to fade in society. Historically, it may be gradually replaced by portals (sects), religions, political parties, or other cultural and interest communities. Just after the recent Spring Festival, many netizens complained on the Internet that they were disgusted with all kinds of strange relatives, which is an example. With the circulation of information and people, our relatives who have not seen each other on weekdays have long been culturally separated from themselves. However, the tradition of festivals has forced these people who have been culturally different in definition to gather together. Naturally A lot of contradictions arose.
For example, some people think that I can earn enough money to spend and live a happy life, but relatives who hold the value of "starting a family and earning a lot of money" will think that this is too unpromising; another example is that some people think that being single is no big deal, so is having children It's my own business, but relatives who hold "three kinds of unfilial piety, no descendants are great" even have their own insistence on giving birth to boys and girls; even, when we are a little extreme that many elders are old and disrespectful, it is not worth it at all When respecting, parents should also carry out the principle of respecting the elders and the younger, and showing respect for the elders.
In addition to the above, "Dungeon" also has many wonderful settings, such as saving people's memory on a chip-like board, which actually admits that memory is the equation of the soul; another example is the body. It doesn't matter anymore, the human soul can travel freely between various bodies, no matter the height of men and women; another example is the gap between the rich and the poor between the immortals and the residents on the ground. Each issue can be very exciting if it is discussed in detail separately. For example, the issue of soul and flesh is similar to "Ghost in the Shell". For example, the issue of the gap between the rich and the poor can be related to Oshii Mori's "Wolf". Relationships, such as AI, can be pushed to the height of "Blade Runner". But the whole drama is just about these (points that I think are good) just scratching the surface, focusing on the differences between the protagonist and his sister, and the result is not very exciting, which is really a pity.
