The first season uploaded Life. After watching it, my first reaction was that the victory of capitalism will always belong to the capitalists, because they can rely on capital income such as trusts, funds, and capital investment to earn their souls forever, but those who work by selling their bodies must will perish quickly.
The difference between the male protagonist and all the other uploaders is the golden finger given by the female protagonist. He can change the password and be productive.
But after thinking about it again and again, especially after witnessing the incident of Xiao Zhan's teacher Tiantuan fan incident and the overlord contract incident of Yuewen, my views on the second season have changed.
In the first season, there is a hidden main line, that is, whether the uploaded protagonist is material or will, and whether there is power/partial power of living people. The screenwriter has explained through many incidents that the protagonist is not a person, but a material... Including but not limited to a girlfriend who pays money can delete her, can decide his consumption, can decide what pants he wears, he is a hard disk imprisoned in uploading The company's computer room, the network management can force users to sleep, etc... And
The screenwriter also used the black market and hackers in the gray area to illustrate that there are definitely many people who have the ability of the protagonist. They walk outside the hotel, in the fog, in another server, in the loopholes. Using the protagonist, the second man pretending to be a living farce, shows that on the Internet, no one knows whether the opposite is a man or a woman, a man or a ghost...
There's another thing...what the hell did the male protagonist invent? Combining with the "free upload" part in the play, it can be seen that...it is likely to be an electronic work system...otherwise, how to maintain free uploads and network expenses for the poor? So I met a capitalist...and became an electronic slave.
And two things happened in reality, the first thing proves (similar to the out-of-control nature of education and propaganda in Hong Kong), the coercive ability of capital and the moral bottom line, leek-based education started at the age of seven or eight, and flowers were borrowed at the age of ten In this way, after 20 years of education, the slave of consumerism was born.
The second thing shows that in capitalized industries, the law cannot keep human rights. The contract stipulation not only stuck to the legal bottom line, but also tried to test downwards.
The protagonist's golden finger is not very powerful. The heroine and her father, the capitalist, even killed everyone. Seeing her daughter committing suicide online to reunite with the male protagonist, she is embarrassed and angry, wielding a big stick of power, and doing things that make the male protagonist an electronic slave is normal. Also very reasonable...
The key is whether the male protagonist can get out of physical captivity and become a data superman (that is, there is no countdown on his head when he leaves the hotel), shuttle between different worlds, and save other digital people. (Involving whether the electronic soul can replicate itself...)
It seems a bit back on the Matrix road, being the savior.
Or not so strong, the male protagonist is an electronic Robin Hood or an electronic spiderman...
The final ending of this drama must be related to Download. After all, it is intertextual with the title, and the first season has the foreshadowing of the response, and the live broadcast failed to download. The question is, is the downloaded electronic soul downloaded on Gundam, on the cloned human body, or on the original human body?
