This movie is the same as the thinking in "Neuromancer" and "The Matrix", and there are even shadows of the discussion of consciousness and intelligence in the brief history trilogy. Maybe everyone is thinking about the same problem. Whether human consciousness can be copied and whether it can exist without the body, just like Michael Pauli after the brain death, the brain's memory and consciousness are copied into the thought box, and survive forever in RAM and the Internet.
However, the plot inside is not so pleasing to the market. I guess that when the director was preparing to make this movie, he was already ready to hit the box office, but there was also a glimmer of hope. I hope that the audience can help the technology Pay the bill with deep-seated ethical thinking in society. Sadly, judging from the box office for three days, this hope is dashed.
The protagonist William is a scientist. In my opinion, he is at least a neurologist, electrochemist, biologist... The knowledge could not be more profound, and he is doing research on neural replication and transplantation with the support of his boss. His wife, Mona, is a doctor, and she is also a Kochi. They have a son and two daughters, and their youngest daughter Zoe is beautiful and pitiful. Seeing this, it is an enviable happy family!
They moved their family to the location of the institute to support William in his research. On this day, William tried to transplant the brain consciousness of a severely injured sergeant into the brain of the inorganic robot No. 345. In the end, the sergeant’s consciousness failed to accept his inorganic body and the experiment failed. The boss told him that if he failed again, the laboratory would have to be closed.
In this way, with a frustrated mood, I started my weekend vacation. At the first climax, William took the whole family to the beach on this stormy night. It was a choice of fate. He accidentally drove the car into the ditch. Except for himself, his wife and children died.
The feeling of grief cannot be compounded, but a scientist is a scientist. In addition to grief, he has the ability to do some crazy things when he is physically and mentally overloaded. He could not accept his wife and children to leave, he wanted to clone them out. The crazy experiment began here.
Human cloning needs to be carried out in two steps: first, the human body is cloned, and when this step is completed, the cloned human’s brain is still like a piece of white paper; then, the consciousness of the previous living human must be transplanted into the cloned human’s brain. With the help of his assistant, William copied the consciousness of his wife and child and preserved it, and then asked the assistant to help dispose of the corpse. The reason was that he could not bear to act, but the decision was really decisive. The assistant also helped him get the clone incubator and the materials needed. Unfortunately, there were only three boxes. He had to give up one of the children, and Zoe was caught by lottery.
On the 17th day, the body was cloned, but William hadn't thought of how to solve the problem of consciousness transplantation. He gave the cloned body an anesthesia shot and gave himself another 72 hours. The movie needs drama. He still figured out the problem of consciousness transplantation: the previous sergeant's consciousness transplantation failed because he would look for his own body after consciousness implantation, but without the body, the consciousness cannot accept this situation, so it cannot stabilize. . However, there is no such problem in transplanting consciousness to cloned humans, because the body itself is alive. In this way, he resurrected three family members through body cloning and consciousness transplantation. At the same time, he deleted the memories related to Zoe in their brains, allowing neurons to re-establish connections.
Live a happy life ever since? too easy. The boss actually knew about this a long time ago, just want to see if William can make progress under pressure. When the matter is over, it will naturally not escape the eyes of the boss. On Christmas Eve, the boss came over and had a deep talk with William about the algorithm for consciousness transplantation: This company is just a medical company? Isn’t it a pity to spend so much money on it and only use it to prolong people’s lives? Imagine that the drone on the battlefield is sitting on an experienced clone, or the consciousness of an experienced hacker is directly implanted into the network... Of course, William cannot accept the company to use his research results in this way, but he is not a weak writer. Scholars, can catch it like this. He pretended to agree, then burned the algorithm memory in a microwave oven, brought down the boss, and drove out with his family.
However, he was still inferior to the boss's tactics, and eventually fell into the clutches of the clutches. William once again showed his wisdom and bravery. He implanted his consciousness into the No. 345 machine experiment body, and jointly killed the gang of villains! Of course, the boss said before he died, even if I die, the company will send people to continue hunting you down. "What if we join forces?" William asked him. "See you soon!" The boss died so satisfied.
The last scene: The cloned boss receives a rich man in the UAE, and after receiving the money, he performs a nerve transplantation operation to make his life eternal!
The story is simple, the plot is also interlocking, at least for me, there is no urine point in the whole process. Of course, in order not to urinate in the process, I went to the toilet in advance:) This kind of plot is really difficult to please the public, hasn't the director thought about this problem? I think this is unlikely. In addition to the box office, Hollywood directors still have a lot of thoughts and feelings about the future of mankind! It is the fact that "Blade Runner" has become a classic, and "Blade Runner 2049" has become a classic again. I hope this movie can get such an evaluation in the future.
After watching the movie, there are still a few questions left to think about:
* Can the cloned Mona and the child face life as before?
* Will there be something emotionally wrong with William facing his cloned family?
* How can William and Robot 345, which transplanted William’s consciousness, coexist? Putting aside the body, they are the same person. Are their status equal? Or do the robots have to take orders from themselves? As life continues, they will have different life trajectories. Will there be a day when No. 345 jumps out and says: "I want to be free!" Or will William simply dispose of 345 after he has reached an alliance with his boss? Does this count as murder? Even if this murder is his own copy consciousness.
* Will the future be a society where humans and clones coexist?
* If the memory can be programmed, it is impossible to say one day when you wake up, the memory has been rewritten.
* If one day our bodies can be cloned, will we still love our bodies as we do today? Maybe the body organs were like consumables that day, they were replaced when they broke.
* If there are multiple copies of a person's consciousness, which one can be called the id? Don't they fight?
It is estimated that scientists and philosophers have been discussing these issues a long time ago, but I, a commoner, really want to participate! She was able to clone sheep many years ago. Judging from the speed of technological development, it is not a problem at all if we want to have the technology of human cloning. Perhaps consciousness transplantation will still be a little far away. Aside from consciousness, if it were not for the restrictions of scientific ethics, human clones would have run all over the street.
From the point of view of the box office, such "bad movies" are only seen by people like me who are a little nervous. It is true that thinking too much about the worldly issues can make people a little nervous. It will not help me much in my daily life, and it will not help me make more money and improve my life. However, thinking about such issues from time to time allows me to feel my presence and participation in this world.
