Almost all the critical steps in our lives are the result of adapting to our hearts in an imperceptible situation. ——Everyone in Winfried Sebald's "Upload" seems to be going through a crucial step in life, since Nathan, who died in an accident, was uploaded to "Lake View", what seems to be immortality is actually Still keep in touch with the outside world and still have their own thoughts and feelings. The company and appearance of Nora gave Nathan some expectations for his virtual life, and it also became the driving force for him to continue his life. This is like the relationship between Theodore and the artificial intelligence Samantha in the literary film "Her". Maybe this love is so mysterious, so unreachable. But I think Beckman's description of love in "Don't Argue With Your Mom" is apt - "Love. I don't know what to say. I don't know much about love. I know people often say that love is finding The one who made your life complete, but to be honest, I'm not really sure if that's true." In fact, love cannot be measured by causality, and no relationship has the right to measure love. Love is the truest product of nature. Of course, there is also a special relationship between Nathan and Nora. To a certain extent, Nathan is inseparable from Nora. Nora is his angel when he encounters difficulties, but this is the starting point for the emotional development of the two people. Nora is actually a person who is extremely insecure in her heart, and she finds a kind of care in Nathan that she longs for. Therefore, it is natural for the two to have an emotional collision in reality. Of course I still feel that love is not about finding the person who makes your life complete. In the ending, the two people are like two horizons that will never intersect, and this is also their destination. The love between the real world and the virtual world may not be so important. Some words can only be left in a certain moment in the past, but the feelings you once had must be the most real. In upload's life, there is also a class gap in money. This means that people are just buying their own thoughts and even sins with money. In the final analysis, they are unable to face the outside world. Only through the evaluation of the outside world can they find a sense of belonging. But they just lost their "humanity," which here refers to basing one's happiness on the suffering of others. Because not all people who live in Lake View are willing to enjoy all this, sometimes they don't belong to themselves or even nothing on this huge map belongs to them. The same is true in life, maybe love is not about letting the person you love stay in the eternal world and being there for you by what you need, it's just the endless comfort of the person left behind. It's more of a captive love, and true love is about learning to let go and move on with life. Our understanding of love can only be that it is enough to have and cherish it, and the current life is real. So I think the lesson of sci-fi TV Upload for us is simple - our lives are ours to be in charge of. Maybe there are many accidents that we cannot avoid, but any life before the accident belongs to us. We pursue love also for ourselves, because this is your emotion forever.
