Several doubts and sad reminders of J2

At first I thought it was another movie like Mechanic Ji. The difference was probably that the uploaded consciousness directly applied AI. The result was surprising. I said a few doubts during the filming process.

1. I believe that friends who have watched "The Moon" must be very familiar with the scenes of this film. At that time, a thought flashed through his mind. Isn't there a problem with this male protagonist? (The same labor as "Moon"?) Then look at the male lead's clothes: 301 is clearly written on his chest. What does this 301 mean? His project number? His employee ID?

(Explanation: guess the ID means the male lead’s file number. The three banners below the number look very similar to the graphics on the file machine display? File number: #301)

2. The first time the male lead and the female lead used the file machine to talk, the female lead said:

"I just can't do this anymore",

"Speak like this",

"It's too difficult" "Goodbye, Jonny, I love you"

This place is confused, and it feels like a last word forever On the contrary, I feel that the male lead’s performance is more normal (more like a file).

3. Two inspectors from the research center came to the research center. They felt that their various actions were very wrong. For example, the reason for checking the equipment. It is like reporting to the repair center for repairs if your appliance is broken, and the repairer will come to your door for you. It’s a bit strange, but obviously the male protagonist didn’t apply for any application and didn’t know that the inspector would come.

Then when the prosecutors checked the information, the term of the term was two years, eight months, and four days. However, it was learned from the following plot that because the consciousness archive file is not a digital signal, it has a time limit, which is understood as the shelf life, which is 200. Hours, almost eight and a half days. Obviously there is a deviation. (According to the ending plot, it is learned that the prosecutors do not want to inform the male protagonist of the truth, and the male protagonist believes that he has been doing research and development work for more than two years, which proves that the time for archive consciousness is actually much slower than in reality. Up to 200 hours)

Then the male lead said, "When I call her, I can't talk to her. She can do it when she calls me, but not when I call her." Why? Is it just equipment? During this series of dialogues, the two prosecutors' offices exchanged glances.

(Explanation: All of the above are actually implying that it is the male protagonist rather than the female protagonist who is actually being archived. When the prosecutors were about to make a rude, the person in charge stopped him, because the client's permission must be obtained before the file is destroyed. Or you need to notify the customer in advance, the customer here is naturally the heroine)

Contract period

4. Let's talk about the portrait of a Japanese woman that often appears in the film. Do you want to understand how she relates to the story?

(It can be seen from the picture that this woman appeared in the "restaurant" where the male lead went to meet with the risk assessor. It should be the same person as this picture. It is guessed that this person is a star or the woman is a restaurant proprietress. The male lead should be going to Japan. I have interacted with her before, because the woman also appeared in the dying flashback of the male protagonist. The background of the first appearance of the painting is that J2 is watching, which means that J2’s jealousy was before the successful production of J03. The girlfriend of the male protagonist has been born. And the scene of this scene happened when the male protagonist left the R&D center and rushed to the restaurant. Obviously J2 knows where the male protagonist is going, and also knows why the male protagonist likes that restaurant. , Think about it further, does the male lead often come to the restaurant to privately meet the lady? The call on the road also reveals that the male lead likes to go to this restaurant, which shows that the male lead has other romances)

5. What is the purpose of the mask destroyed by J2?

(From the perspective of the pattern, it should be a demo souvenir used by the prototype designed by the male protagonist. This thing is of great significance to the male protagonist. Later, the reason for the R&D center was mentioned in the dialogue between the male and female protagonist because he delivered the first prototype. The machine, the mask should be related to this.

J2 ruined the mask at this time, also because of the accumulation of jealousy and hatred, hoping to get revenge on the male protagonist and destroy the things he cares about, including the unfinished J3. After that, the male protagonist wakes up and J3 is lost)

The origin of the mask

6. The male protagonist appreciates the file backup service, and the female protagonist thinks that when a person is dead, she does not want to live in a box, so the female protagonist asks the male protagonist to cancel her file backup application, and believes that the male protagonist will not deceive her , Then the heroine in the film is backed up is logically unreasonable.

(It is still implied here that it is the male lead who died.)

7. When J3 enters the male master’s bedroom and wants to make out with the male lead, the male lead coldly says "get out" to J3.

(Since the male protagonist has worked hard to make a nearly perfect J3, why should he drive J3 away? There may be two reasons.

1 Because J2 just died that day, the conscience of the male lead was condemned.

2 is that J3 has not yet reached the point where it can be intimate with the male protagonist at a certain level, and the male protagonist is afraid of embarrassment. )

8. After the last time the male protagonist thought he had a call with the female protagonist, he hoped to transfer the file to J3. After the two sides played a game, the transfer was carried out.

Transfer files

However, when the protagonist thought he was successful, the phone rang again.

Last call

This was the real last call. The heroine decided to tell the hero the truth. It was the hero who died. Now the file deadline has expired, the plot is reversed, the hero's consciousness dies, flashback, and the system shuts down.

Handover procedures

Both the heroine and J3 said that good things and bad things always accompany it. This sentence also means human nature. Most people can’t escape the problem of being fond of the new and disgusting the old. The male protagonist will naturally leave J1 and J2 out with J3. However, because J1 is in Younger level, so there will be no more feelings and understanding, but what about J2?

Talk about this tragic character J2, who loves hate, and then feels abandoned, used as a tool (his leg was taken away as a material to make J3's leg), self-depressed, chose to commit suicide, the director's grasp of this character Very well in place. When the male protagonist explained the artificial intelligence deep learning level to J3, he mentioned that J1 stops at five years old and up to six years old, J2 stops at 15 years old and up to 16 years old. This age is just in puberty, and it is easier for adolescent children to catch up. There are some perceptual and absurd things, then those things done by J2 in the plot can be understood.

J2’s depressed scenes are interspersed with the happy life scenes of the male lead and J3. After seeing the male lead dancing with J3, J2 feels that J2 has completely lost the meaning of survival. He organizes the things he likes alone, and touches it reluctantly. J1 finally chose to commit suicide.

Watching J2 hobble into the lake, really sad. A person's despair is vividly reflected in J2.
