After reading it, I felt that the score was low.
In addition, the basic setting of this film is materialistic monism, not dualism. Those who are entangled in the transfer of consciousness and have no good endings are mostly dualism or idealistic monism.
The end of science is theology, and the general premise is to set standards (Kant), and the theology that most scientists think, God (god) exists, is constantly changing in the history of philosophy. It used to be narrow-sighted and the world to see was too small, such as Descartes. Later, the concept of God (God) is different from that of ordinary people. The simple understanding is that such a wonderful, wonderful, regular or irregular world must have a world beyond all matter, in all spirits. The supreme being, created. Because there is too much wonder and incredible, too much beauty in scientific discoveries.
It’s not God that the old man takes care of what you eat today. The appetite is uncomfortable, the mental pain is not painful, and the relationship is broken and the appointment is made. People don’t care about it. It's not that you don't respond to prayers, but that you don't listen to prayers at all. There is no listening to prayers.
This film is a typical and thorough materialistic unity.
Of course, it is close to vulgar materialism in a sense, treating the human brain as equivalent to other organs, and the production of consciousness is nothing more than a natural result of the operation of organs, not mysterious or metaphysical.
In terms of plot, this film goes a long way compared to other clones, and there is no such thing as soul entanglement at all.
The protagonist believes in science and evolution. Human beings are neurochemistry, and their consciousness can be copied and transferred at will, whether it is a clone of a human or a machine.
The wife asked him if he thought we were also neurochemical, and the protagonist acquiesced.
It can also be seen from the protagonist’s later treatment of his wife and children that emotions are feelings, and science is science. There is no emotional entanglement in the treatment of cloned children and wives, because the protagonist loves the consciousness above the body, not the body.
In other words, if you love your body because of your consciousness, consciousness is the main thing. If you change your body, you can change your computer case or mobile phone case. There is no barrier to love.
Love is intertwined with the life of the loved one, it is time, the past time, the experienced emotion, the life together:)
In other words, in the consciousness of the protagonist, there is no God, and he does not believe that the soul is eternal.
Judging from the current scientific findings, this is likely to be true.
But it is really rare that it is completely untangled like this film.
So how does the copied consciousness coexist with this question? In fact, it's quite simple. In the minds of people who only believe in science, there are very few questions about who I am, where I come from and where I am going, because the self is the self in the existing cognition, and has nothing to do with others, even if it is another one. Identical replicated self.
From the moment when consciousness is generated after copying, it becomes two completely independent individuals, each developing and living freely.
A world so large is large enough to hold two identical "souls" without interference or fighting.
There are even entangled ethical issues that are common in other films. That is, how can I love the body and my family after copying it, isn't it enough? !
The solution is very simple, just make a copy of the family!
The same reason is that the world is big enough to be open.
From the ending point of view, I believe the protagonist can do it.
There are similar examples in reality. Identical twins have the same genes, which is equivalent to cloning from the beginning. Although they have not yet produced consciousness, they have produced instinct.
The composition of human consciousness is partly genetically determined and partly influenced by the external world.
A single consciousness, no matter from which point in time it is copied, the two consciousnesses after copying will naturally gradually become different due to different influences from the outside world, and then become independent selves.
This theory applies to this film, since consciousness is not mysterious, there is no soul at all, God has never existed, and the body is chemistry. We are not made by God, we are eaten...
The protagonist is not a character who is both good and evil, nor is he a mad scientist. He just has a clear understanding of what science is and what he loves.
So based on believing in science and not believing in God, simply copy and process the corpse, a cool one.
It is also based on loving the consciousness first and then the body, without entanglement, and continuing to love his wife and children deeply. In his opinion, there is no difference. Calm, rational and affectionate love, scientific love...
Because there is no soul, so there is no need to love the soul, because there is no God, so instead of God to create man.
Of course, large-scale human cloning is difficult to exist, because it is impossible for every family or even interpersonal relationship to be cloned.
Not everyone only believes in science without belief. Judging from the widespread but not deep state of Western beliefs, it is the majority that are entangled.
So this film may not be good at the box office.
In addition, it is not particularly easy to understand and understand the behavior and feelings of the protagonist.
As for whether to extend life expectancy in the future, it is difficult to say. At the current level of technology, human cloning is very simple, and it is basically impossible to transfer consciousness. Even the exploratory stage has not been reached.
Moreover, human consciousness is quite complex and fluctuating. Memory is not the whole of consciousness. Even if all memories are transferred, the latter has nothing to do with the ontology. It is just a person who processes external information feedback close to the ontology. That's why there is an ancient saying that books are the continuation of the author's life. In postmodern terms, there is nothing else outside the text.
After reading it, the reader fully agrees with it, and it continues a small part, provided that it is not autobiography.
In this way, the world where there is no God is quite cold, and even the consciousness that represents the true self is not important. Everyone is small and inferior to dust. Even the whole of mankind lacks the meaning of existence under the standards of the universe.
In any case, the investment in this film is small and the special effects are relatively poor, but the plot is very eye-catching. The protagonist is both sensual and rational, and the distinction is particularly clear. It is worth recommending.
In addition, the wife of the protagonist, after knowing that she had cloned her identity, was basically free of entanglements and no noise. The only time it was because of her daughter, she accepted her "new" identity quite smoothly.
Very realistic, very real, human beings are so selfish and selfish...
This is especially true when it comes to issues of life and death...
Anyone can imagine that if I die and be cloned, even though the current me is not the me I used to be, I am not the "real me", would I still be dissatisfied and yell at me to die?
Since the copy has human rights, someone loves it, and the husband makes money, of course it is happily to accept it and continue to live. The only complaint may be in the bed. Why don't you let me be younger when I clone? You can also be more enjoyable...
"Not enough money for special effects..."
