science fiction fairy tales for adults

My boyfriend and I specifically mentioned this movie and I went to see the trailer. To be honest, the effect of the preview is much better than the original film, the suspense is full, and more hard sci-fi elements can be seen.

I believe that many fans watched it in the light of the actor Keanu Reeves, but they should also think that the sci-fi part of this film is also a point of attraction. But after saving enough saliva, I was slightly disappointed after watching it on the first day of the premiere.

There is a lot less ethical discussion in the film, and there are many plots in order to shape the halo of the protagonist, which can be said to be enough for the male protagonist. Why did the whole family happen to die after the first failure of Experiment 345? Why is it that the windshield of the car is shattered, and Mona has been seriously injured (or even died). The first reaction of the male protagonist is not to brake, but to hit the roadbed and finally flip into the river? Why did the whole family die, but the male protagonist in the front cab was unscathed? ? Why can the male protagonist easily unbuckle the seat belt to escape and quickly drag out the four bodies after the car fell into the river?

Obviously, there are serious problems in the cultivation of cloned animals in the cabin, but three healthy people can be cloned at once and successfully implanted with consciousness? Before the accident, his wife, Mona, was seriously opposed to the practice of human cloning, but after knowing that she was a clone, she silently accepted and cooperated with the subsequent actions with just a few tears? It's just a few drops of blood and tears after the toilet extracts one's own consciousness? No damage to nerves afterwards? Can you quickly figure out how to change your own body's self-cognitive memory within a few days without any prior knowledge sorting? 17 days to clone a person? The electrode high voltage of CPR only said "one miss can stop the heartbeat" a second before, but it was able to successfully destroy three trackers at the tense moment of being chased and no one was injured?

The most terrifying thing is that the span of the story is actually not as long as the camera jumps up, and the male protagonist William seems to have been researching day and night! What a lot of stamina it takes!

I think whether these doubts are logical or not, the film is trying to give it an irrefutable footing: it's William's Algorithm. It can arbitrarily delete the relevant memory pathways that people want to delete, replace and rewrite, and it has been able to perform biological implants that are roughly error-free (at least in the movies).

The most surprising thing is that I thought the story had just begun, but it ended with a biomedical group with a universal algorithm cloned by even the boss, becoming a high value-added industry.

Some people say that this is the wish of Keanu Reeves' real life, the cocoon he spins knots for himself, and another fairy tale conceived by mankind. We are all tired of hearing the ethical thinking that technology brings to human beings, so he said that we might as well go light, because only when we dare to think will we have more practical efforts to overcome the problems that have been holding us back.

Technology is dead, it's just a tool, but it goes through one dimension of numbers, two dimensions of planes, three dimensions of three dimensions, four dimensions of time, and there is a thing called love, which is the only and only thing that makes human beings proud, let us dare to In the state of grief, despair, confusion, and madness, let go and pursue a small achievement with the courage to perish together.

This is not necessarily the future, but a fairy tale, a heroism of our future technology in this age.

I am a little disappointed that I have not learned about cognitive science with the psychology of learning, but there is one scene that I find particularly interesting:

After successfully defeating the black boss of the biomedical group, the male protagonist William asked the cloned William: "how does it feel?" (What do you think?)

Robot 345 William said: "feel like myself." (Feel like myself.)
