Regarding the ending, it is obvious that the world in 2024 that the male protagonist arrives in is also a virtual world. And the male and female protagonists are not real people. Like the NPCs in the metropolitan world, they are all generated by the code of the virtual machine.
This film has a rather strange setting, that is, after entering the virtual world and dying, the NPC under your control in the virtual world will return to the upper world instead of you (the upper world may not be the real world, it may still be a virtual world).
Later The Matrix modified this setting. When you enter the virtual world, a character will be generated. When the character dies, you die and no one returns to the real world, preventing multiple nesting of the film. The Matrix is here, and the real world develops to the later stage, like a virtual world (Neo has super powers).
Overall, the plot line of the film is good. When all the clues indicated that it was the male protagonist who killed the old man, everyone could basically guess that the male protagonist was an NPC in the virtual machine and was logged in and controlled by someone.
In fact, I first saw in Black Mirror about uploading human consciousness into a virtual machine. This is completely different from The Matrix. The Matrix is equivalent to just an immersive game, and the player's body is still in the real world.
The uploading human is aware that in the virtual machine, the uploaded consciousness is completely independent after the upload is completed and the character is generated, and it is no longer attached to the ontology, which is equivalent to a copy of you. So when you in the real world die, you in the virtual machine are completely independent and will live normally (equivalent to achieving immortality and immortality in the virtual machine). To replicate a person in a virtual machine requires a huge amount of computation to simulate your behavioral characteristics. At present, humans can only generate simple NPCs in virtual games, giving them limited ability to judge (they can only do what you have programmed, such as getting up at a set time and giving you an answer to a question) . Therefore, if you want to replicate a person in a virtual machine, you must first upload your memory, and then you must be able to generate an NPC with thinking ability (artificial intelligence, learning ability), inheriting the personality characteristics, behavior patterns, and IQ level of the ontology. The choices and behaviors this NPC makes when encountering various things and situations need to be consistent with or highly similar to the ontology (even the ontology, when encountering various situations, the choices it will take are often a probability .like when you pass by a fruit store, you might buy apples, you might buy bananas, or you might buy nothing).
Unexpectedly, in the 1999 movie, there was already the concept of uploading human consciousness. Of course, in science fiction, there is a similar concept very early. After all, the author of science fiction has a relatively large brain hole and is often ahead of the times.
The male protagonist's appearance is still a little bit.
