How far is the virtual idol

I was fooled by the movie's introduction again. In fact, I was not too foolish. It just proved that the movie's introduction was not credible and too subjective.
I have to say that the film is very creative. In this age of fanatical adoration, will we fanatically pursue a non-existent, virtual character? Let me start from the beginning.
At the beginning, a computer geek said that he created a person, so real that he can lick her back. After watching the video, we know that this virtual idol is actually not that real. Of course I blamed the inferior computer technology 10 years ago. Nowadays, movies can't create 3D special effects that can be fake and real, at least not like "Iron Man". In short, this virtual character was created, used by the director Victor played by Al Pacino, named Simone, and then ushered in the era of national worship. In fact, when I watched the movie, I wondered how these people can believe in Simone’s existence, but it does reflect from one aspect that behind the fanatical worship are actually extremely empty hearts. We pursue perfection too much, but we don’t know the real flaws. It is also a kind of beauty. This is an excellent irony to those who blindly worship.
Next, I want to talk about the first stalk of the film introduction, which is said in the film introduction: Simone gradually had her own thoughts after being created, and finally began to control the people who made her. The film did mention that Simone gave her acceptance speech after receiving the film. This speech was recorded by Victor, the director played by Al Pacino, but Simone did not say thank you to the director when it was broadcast. Victor also felt very puzzled when he came back. . But the movie ends here, and it doesn't say why Simone didn't follow the pre-recorded words. There are also several metaphors behind Simone's thoughts, but they are all just to stop. And from the movie, we can see that it is not Simone who controls Victor, but the fanatical fans who do not distinguish between true and false. Let's talk about the second stalk of the movie introduction. The movie introduction says: He had to destroy the virtual person he designed by himself, only to find that he had to pay for his lies. In the movie, Victor originally wanted to destroy Simone, but due to the pressure of the masses, he had to "resurrect" Simone. Then Victor's ex-wife and daughter learned the truth and forgave him, so Simone and Simone began to live happily. Four people live, in order to lie, Victor created a child belonging to him and Simone, which does not seem to be heavy and weighty as the movie introduction says. However, I understand that virtual things are getting more and more involved in our real lives. Maybe one day we will find it difficult to distinguish the boundary between the virtual and the real. If you think about it this way, the end of the film is still very meaningful, but I still feel that the film is in a bad mood in terms of expression.
The creativity of the film is indeed very good, but I don’t know if the director has not thought about how deep the meaning of this surreal topic is to be given, so this topic that can be explored in many places is just short-lived. But I still like the unexpected turn of the climax of the movie. I thought that after Victor destroyed Simone, everyone would condemn him for his deceptive behavior. Unexpectedly, everyone still didn't think Simone was a fake, but insisted that Victor was the murderer. At this time, Victor, played by Al Pacino, is really dumbfounded. Who is the brain disease, blind people can't tell the truth from the false, it is indeed an excellent irony.
Besides, the film starring Al Pacino, after watching this movie, I think he is quite suitable for acting in a comedy, whether it is to prevent him from running to the studio in order to prevent him from showing up, or to act as a female star to imitate the charming kind of women, Al Pacino was so accurate, I really burst into tears in a few places.
However, will the virtual idols introduced in the film really appear one day? Will we really one day collectively worship a person created by a computer? It is true that we hope to have a perfect incarnation for us to admire, but we also realize that it is the real emotion that moves us, and this reality must at least be tangible. It is always said that down-to-earth, down-to-earth, simple and real little people, although they have shortcomings, some even have defects, they will still bring us beautiful enjoyment and inner touch.
