Once a man thinks he is a god, he is not far from madness.
David kills people for fun in the virtual world, and it is said that he sleeps in the virtual world. These people seem to completely separate the virtual from the reality, but they are actually the people who are deeply involved in the confusion of virtual reality. The unsatisfied desires in reality are released in the virtual world, and the released desires are their reality.
In 2024, the crime rate around the world will be greatly reduced...
News in the newspapers is silent irony.
David understands that this world is false, so he kills people for fun, although he regards these people as electronics, circuits and data, but when his sense of touch, sight, hearing, smell, taste is no different from reality, he takes people away The behavior of his life still makes him a devil; the bartender, realizing that his world is false, is mad and no longer cares about human life. (Nevertheless, I think that a normal law-abiding citizen in a legal society is unlikely to immediately forget about ethical laws and trample their lives, unless they themselves have the potential to be perverted)
The creepy thing is, Whitney died, and the bartender came out, and David died, and Douglas came out. The seemingly happy ending makes one's back shiver. At the same time, the end of the world may not only exist in Douglas's world, Whitney's world, it may also belong to Jenny's world, and more worlds... At the end of the camera, Jenny's world is closed like a TV screen, who can say You are not in the play.
Where is the line between truth and falsehood? How to define truth? Can you really see the truth when you open the layers of curtains? Or just a new layer of confusion? Are human actions really based on their own will? Or is it just cold code in the program, the marionette of the high observer? Are our actions meaningful? When the plug is pulled, the power is turned off, everything is annihilated, and everything is dead.
But for everyone in the world, my world is real. What you see, hear, feel, and think in the present moment constitutes reality.
In the ideal ending I imagined, after Douglas found that his world was only a piece of code in the eyes of others, he smiled generously and calmly at a higher dimensional person-maybe Jenny, or someone else in the air: " Welcome to my world." - this moment, is real.
From today's point of view, the movie still has some flaws, but considering that it was released in 1999, it is a good start for the subsequent sci-fi movies, and several leading actors are very exciting, and they still give a score of 8.0. .
