"Another Dimension Hacker" is probably the story: a few people with cutting-edge technology, led by scientist Fowler, used computers to create a virtual world in 1937. This virtual world exists in a huge computer group. You can connect with the virtual world through specific instruments, and implant your own memory into the brains of the selected objects in the virtual world, so as to enter the virtual world and do whatever you want with the body of the agent (in our Chinese thinking, it can be understood as "" ghost"). With the unexpected death of Fowler, the founder of the virtual world, and a series of unbelievable events, Douglas, another important member of the team (also the protagonist of the film), gradually discovers that the self-righteous world 1999 they live in, but it is also Another virtual world created by others... Movies with this theme are actually not uncommon. This film and "The Matrix" were released in the same year, and they are also quite similar in subject matter. Once the latter was released, it received numerous accolades and was hailed as one of the greatest films of the 20th century. The film's reputation is also quite good. From the perspective of the ideological expression of the film, "Another Dimension Hacker" and "The Matrix" have their own advantages. The reason why the latter is popular all over the world is largely not only because of the content of the film, but also with the help of In a gorgeous and alternative way of expression. Of course, we have to admit that the shot of Neo wearing a black cape soaring from the ground is far better than the seemingly crude and perfunctory shuttle in the fantasy time tunnel (the only way for the protagonist to enter the virtual world in the film) The visual impact is a hundred times stronger, but just as the pursuit of a true, good and beautiful girl does not necessarily require a romantic atmosphere like a Korean drama, I think the director of "Another Dimension Hacker" has no problem shooting this way, the Wachowski brothers (now they should be called sisters and brothers) It's just to show off stunts, which is the selling point, and "Alternative Dimension Hacker" has absolutely no need for this. Analyze the content of the video. The scientist Fowler created the virtual world 1937, and the world 1999 where Fowler is located was actually created by the characters of the world 2024, David and his wife (the explanation of this point is not particularly clear in the film, and it is impossible to find out whether there is another person behind the David and his wife. have a team). From the beginning of the film, Fowler already knows the truth - his reality is actually a virtual created by others. He decided to tell Douglas, a member of his experimental team, the horrific fact. Fowler left a note for Douglas in the virtual world in 1937, gave it to a bartender, and asked him to pass it on. After he returned to reality, before he could tell Douglas, he was killed by David from 2024, the creator of the virtual world in 1999. David used Douglas's body to kill. Doug Russ is involved in murder charges, and to find out the truth, he enters the virtual world of 1937 to find clues. In the bar, after a fight between Douglas and the bartender, the bartender who fell into a state of madness told Douglas that he had peeked at the letter Fowler had left him, and the content of the letter was actually one sentence: Our world is not real. This originally referred to 1999, but the bartender misunderstood and thought it was 1937. In addition, the bartender had deep suspicions about the bizarre behavior of Fowler and Douglas. In order to find out the truth, the bartender drove out of the city. He saw an unbelievable scene - the world turned out to have an end. Douglas did not find a clue in 1937, but found something strange in reality in 1999. Fowler popped up a daughter out of thin air, trying to inherit all the company's business he left behind, and then suddenly disappeared. When he saw it again, the real identity was a supermarket cashier. Fowler suddenly remembered what the bartender said, and drove out of the city in a trance. As a result, as you and I both guessed, he also saw what the bartender saw. The story could have ended here, but the director's sword took a slant, and another member of the experimental team, Whitney, because he couldn't stand the doubts in his heart, finally chose to walk into the virtual world 1937 to find out. He happened to be the bartender. body. Whitney was obviously unlucky. Just arriving in 1937, he almost got into a car accident, then was targeted by the police, and was unfortunately hit and killed by a car during a confrontation with the police. At this time, the key step that determines the later direction of the film appeared: Whitney, who died in the virtual world in 1937, his consciousness in the real 1999 was declared dead, and the consciousness of the bartender who borrowed his body was released from 1937. , Re-entered Whitney's body in 1999 and became the first person to escape from the virtual world to the next level of the world. The Whitney who woke up was no longer Whitney, but the bartender, or more precisely, the bartender in consciousness. The bartender stood in the aisle of the gigantic server room, muttering to himself "this is where I was born", spreading his arms and enjoying his new life (though he would be David's gun in a few moments). This is a classic passage of the whole film. Instead, the program in a passive position enters the creator's body and becomes a living person, showing an extreme spirit of resistance. "The Matrix" did not do this, or did not go to this point. side walk. Seeing this, how can you say that this film is not as good as The Matrix? The director came up with such a paragraph not only to improve the film's ideological height, in fact, it is to pave the way for the final ending of the film. The heroine in the film, David's wife Natasha, also borrowed the body of a supermarket cashier. The person who pretended to be Fowler's daughter revealed all the secrets at this time. She told Douglas that there were hundreds of virtual worlds like theirs in 1999, and that Fowler's world was just one of them, but the only one that also created virtual worlds. As creators of 1999, the Davids must stop this accident now. This is also the reason why David entered 1999 to kill Fowler, and Natasha was responsible for the aftermath, needing to do anything to get Fowler's company and destroy it. This unscrupulous even includes sleeping with Douglas. The movie is about love again. Natasha has long lost her love for the bloodthirsty and somewhat perverted David, but has a continuous love for Douglas in the virtual world. According to her, Douglas was upright and kind, which David did not have. But we can also think that when Douglas was created, David's wife created him according to her own ideals, and falling in love with him was also planned. David has long noticed that his wife is in love with him, and the perversion is to kill his wife to vent his anger, so he entered 1999 to find his wife who had just finished making out with Douglas by borrowing the body of a supermarket cashier. Natasha had long expected that David would have such a hand, and took measures early. At this critical juncture, the police detective who had been investigating Fowler's case appeared and shot and killed David, that is, Douglas, who had borrowed his body. . Based on the bartender's previous experience, we have a gratifying premonition of the film's happy ending: Douglas escapes the virtual world in 1999, gets a new life in 2024, becomes a real human being, and more importantly, he also gets his own true love, replacing David Live a happy life with Natasha. You can think like this two seconds before the ending subtitle of the film appears, but wait a minute, we can also guess based on the experience of watching movies over the years, foreigners don’t like the happy ending of a happy reunion, and always leave a little bit. Suspense for a sequel. Let's first recall what Douglas said. After he realized that the 1999 he was in was just a virtual world and that he was just a tiny program in the virtual world, he made an incisive summary of the actions of the creator Natasha: you pull the plug, I disappear. The last shot of the film is that Douglas and Natasha are standing on the balcony with infinite view overlooking the sea. When watching the film itself, the truth is peeled away little by little, and the sense of suspense is much stronger than watching this boring thing, and the feeling it brings is of course different. The film's dialogue and editing techniques are excellent, which shows the skill of the screenwriter and director. But while watching the movie, I
