Everyone's evaluations of out-of-control players are quite bipolar, which also reflects its extremely distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Those who like it can see its comparison to various game stalks (what Konami abandons old players and the like), the fun of gagging paragraphs, and a good imagination of a certain meta-universe world. But those who don’t like it see more of the hip pull in the overall context of the plot, such as always using the villain’s mentally handicapped behavior to promote the plot, and describing the stereotypes of all kinds of losers who describe game players as violent and in reality. .
But what I am more concerned about is that the script introduces a concept that is difficult to deal with: Is a virtual world that is realistic enough, free and emotionally connected, is it a beautiful world? In the worst case, this is a Matrix, implying that human beings get vain and unreal happiness through intubation; on the better, it makes people-including virtual humans that do not exist in the real world, feel equal concerns. And good. Here I would like to point out a violent argument: As long as it is a sufficiently real virtual world, our evaluation of it can be applied to the standards of reality. If there is no virtuality, it is an invasion of reality. Even I don’t think the real world will be more essential. . In other words, if the Matrix-style brain intubation is voluntary, and the inside of the world it lives in is of high quality and can give people a spiritual life, then it is not an evil. After all, the so-called real world is just an illusion of various chemical reactions of carbon-based organisms.
But how to answer the above question has become the most awkward part of this movie. It is difficult to honestly give an answer: on the one hand, the movie describes this virtual world as extremely beautiful, as if as long as you have love and friendship, whether the world is real is not. No matter how important. At first, the audience regarded the virtual world as fun, but later discovered that this is the world of the virtual characters, and the AI is as real as ours, so people can't bear to kill them in the system. But on the other hand, this theory of elevating the virtual world to the same status as reality is too "heresy" for the audience, so the movie ultimately does not have the courage to fully recognize the value of the virtual world. It also has to return to reality, let the virtual return to the virtual, and people in reality have to find meaning in the real world, including the most important love. Therefore, the heroine's recognition of the virtual world in the movie eventually became bullshit. The Guy in the virtual world is after all just a tool for the "male hero" in reality, and exists for the lives of others. No subject value.
It is also under the squeeze of these contradictory values that the heroine once said to Guy, "You are a real person!", and Guy can only reply at the end of the film: I am a love letter.
