A perfect interpretation of a prophecy in Guy Debord's book "Landscape Society": Only when people are separated (here pushed to an extreme case-the death of a lover), can the spectacle illusion created by technology be used to reconnect people. On the one hand, this connection is a kind of simulation in the final analysis, because it cannot replace the real connection (human love), but it deteriorates the real interpersonal bond. For example, the heroine no longer needs to contact her girlfriend after getting the doll. At the end of the film, it gave a positive ending. Logically, it is actually hoped to control the addiction of human will. In fact, the doll in the entire film is an extreme addictive mechanism-it can no longer bring joyful satisfaction but cannot be quit. In the end, the so-called "good fun" of reunion every weekend is actually like the logic of restraining children from playing video games when I was a child. I think the reason why pregnancy is arranged in the whole plot is to make the child a new possible sustenance, so that the final "detoxification" of the heroine becomes slightly reasonable. But think about it, everyone, those who don't have children's trust, do they have any other hope? I'm afraid there is no other chance other than relying on puppets to break away from the entire real interpersonal relationship.
On the other hand, in real society, non-extreme cases, all products developed for metropolitan nerds and nerds-games, soap operas, reality shows, online entertainment, connect them by becoming their public topic hobbies, but the price is to truly interpersonal Social activity squeezed to zero. It is also virtual communication that replaces real communication.
Finally, if we take the extreme cases in the play to more extremes: if the heroine Martha's discomfort is only because the puppet technology is immature, it can't be exactly the same as human beings. Then, as Guy Debord predicted in the book, the ultimate goal of landscape manufacturing is to create a more dazzling landscape, maybe one day the reality of the dolls can infinitely approach Martha's dead lover, and even continue to evolve as they get along. Show the mature change of personality and appearance at any time. Is it perfect? However, the new question is, how do we treat real human relationships? Would you still cherish your relationship with your true lover? If you leave me, I just need to spend money to make another one, can’t you?
What landscape really cannot replace is real imperfection.
