When the people in the cave came out of the cave, they were no longer confined to the dark projections on the walls, but were amazed at the splendor and beauty of the outside world, and finally returned to the cave, wanting to wake up their companions trapped in it. This is Plato's classic cave metaphor, but what we see in the movie "The Hackers of Different Dimension" is one, or several different "runaways" and several different "caves".
When the "runaway" thinks not only of waking up the distressed companions, but even more, more extreme, revenge and hatred for the puppet performers behind the low wall, trying to enjoy the freedom behind the low wall. This makes them maintain a state of excitement after "running away", but they lack introspection and reflection for at least a period of time.
What makes the prisoners more desperate is that when the prisoner has turned his head to see the world of light and light outside the cave, he is still bound by the shackles and shackles to the cave post and cannot move.
Here's another look at multiple "caves", when prisoners in the "bottom" cave come out, only to discover that this "new" world is still in a "secondary" cave. How can we resolve doubts about the world?
If we don't regard "getting out of the cave" as a discovery and answer to "what is the real world and what is a false world" and "is the world we live in real or false", and understand this behavior as self-awareness development, awakening? When the bartender in the bottom world switched to the second world, Douglas's conversation, argumentation, reasoning, explanation, and advice to the bartender were like a process of awakening another self-consciousness, and this part of the movie inspired me, Try to think of "realizing, getting out of the cave" as self-awareness development, awakening.
This film also involves the relationship between real people and cyborgs, that is, in the traditional concept, the consciousness of cyborgs can be fully input (downloaded) and stored by the consciousness of real people in one direction only, while Real people cannot get the full consciousness of cyborgs, that is, cyborgs cannot download their consciousness into real people's brains. And in "Another Dimension Hacker", there is an exchange of consciousness between cyborgs and real people. Through the death of real people in the cyborg world, the cyborg's consciousness can be downloaded into the real world.
There is no doubt that the heroine (in the third layer of the world) is the biggest profiteer of the game. In fact, I would like to ask whether it is legitimate for her to exchange her real husband David with the cyborg Douglas?
1 As far as David is concerned, from the perspective of the real world, the heroine deprives David of his autonomy, which is also considered to have murdered David;
2 As far as Douglas is concerned, from the point of view of a conscious cyborg, the heroine did not give Douglas the opportunity to choose, and there was no initiative to consult his opinion, which in my opinion is in a way related to depriving david of his autonomy. No difference (of course this involves how we view conscious cyborgs, especially when bringing such cyborgs into the real world);
Good Movie!
