ES01 I haven't written a film review for a long time, if I can't let go of the past, I'll never be able to start

Watching the film reminds me of a friend who died young a while ago. If we can have the high-tech in the film, can we also recreate him, let him live among us, continue to do research, and let us listen to his jokes. Would that be a lot of joy, or would it delay our pain of losing him. However, we all know that this he will never be the real him, as the heroine said to the inflatable Ash in the film, it is just Asha's ripples, because the inflatable Ash has no past. Yeah, even if you input all your memory and thinking, it's just a program, inflatable dolls can't experience everything a real person does, we can trick ourselves into communicating with a program that looks a lot like him, we're more or less mentally The young man has been comforted, but after the comfort, you know very well that he will not be like the real him. He will not have too many advantages and disadvantages that you can't predict, so that it will be balanced. After all, technology has brought us too many things, it has made our lives more convenient, so some people try to use technology to replace our due emotions, such as this perfect Ash. The perfection of science and technology is highly reflected here, and death, as an unavoidable event, is restored here in a false way. But there will never be technology or artificial intelligence that can replace real people, because any real emotion grows and dies. If there is immortality, it is not worthy of being called a real person and will not have real emotions. In the final analysis, there is still some pain, we are unwilling to face it, and want to relieve or escape to the greatest extent. However, we all know that the hardest thing to deceive is ourselves. You can sleep with an inflatable robot, you can talk to him, you can even ask him to change light bulbs, make breakfast, program him to do whatever you want, you won't have arguments , you look harmonious and perfect. But flawless has never existed, for example, you see a perfect person, but you have no way of knowing what he really looks like, or it can be said that flawless itself is a kind of imperfection, because its flaw is that it is too perfect, which makes people feel like a robot.

Going back to the beginning of my friend who died young, when I saw him lying there quietly, completely breathless, not waking up, no longer speaking, I really realized that it was Death has severed his future from any living connection we can have, so let him live in our memory. I don't want to let technology restore you again, that is the cruelest thing to do to you. After attending the funeral that day, I was thinking, in fact, all the people who have passed away have gone to another world, and what they want us to do is that we continue to live with hope and live the present day, just like the funeral that day. The drizzle, the next day, the sun shines again. We will not forget, but we will let go of our memories and live the present day, which is the best memory for them. Finally, I thought of the jasmine I heard at my friend's funeral. It was the saddest jasmine I have ever heard. If I could, I would think of you every time I heard this melody, because some memories, just a little bit, can Unforgettable.

For Eric and my dear grandpa.

  • Martha: He would have worked out what was going on. This wouldn't have ever, ever happened, but if it had, he would have worked it out

    Ash: Sorry, hang on, that's a very difficult sentence to process

  • Martha: See, Ash would've been scared. He wouldn't have just leapt off, he would have been crying...

    Ash: [starts crying] Please don't make me do it. No.

    Martha: That's not fair.
