Open-minded and realistic

I know the rating is poor, but I like this brain hole and still watch it! The online rhythm of many familiar faces is relaxed and happy and passes the line. I don't agree with many of the comments that I can't chew more than I can chew. Not all films have to go the academic deep dive route. facts and reason do matter, but it's a good movie to provide a good situation in a comfortable and relaxed position to draw your attention to something, even if it just resonates.

Favorite points: If you become smaller (the realistic version can be moving to a 7th tier city), you still face the same problem, the meaning of your existence, the meaning of life, the meaning of life, and the relationship between you and the people around you cognitive disonance still there (Qoating from win bigly reading this week)

According to the trend of win bigly and the actual situation, the solution of cognitive dissonance is nothing more than 1) short-term diversion of attention. For example, Trump issued a number of presidential decrees a month after taking office, which makes people question what the previous presidents have been doing after taking office. Defuse the media and various parties. kind of demonstration groups 2) time to solve everything human can get used to anything, given time, even hanging. Expect gradual adjustments to eliminate cognitive gaps at the same time, dont stop living

The ending feels realistic. The protagonist's real-world regrets (dropping out of school and going home to take care of his mother's desire to change houses for his wife, trying to take on higher debts) are not resolved in Second Life. There is no explanation why the dream of a doctor has not been pursued again, but there is no feasting to help the Vietnamese girl repair prosthetics trying yo push the date to next stage prematurely and te disappoinmeng ensued It shows that the protagonist is still confused and unable to reconcile with himself.

Finally, at the last moment of the tunnel, the protagonist is not choosing to escape from life without the glorious meaning (such as saving mankind from extinction, as the French say, donating sperm can achieve the same purpose) the warmth of love and hope that you can feel every moment of your life It is his meaning to be needed and grateful. This meaning is given by yourself, and it does not matter whether it is great or small because the meaning has nothing to do with others (only the actual utility and disadvantages are related to others).
