If there is no time and years, everything will not grow old; if there is no existence and reality, everything is meaningless

Existence and nothingness are fears and unknowns that humans can never overcome.

Ash is a symbolic character, an isolated and magnified individual. Although philosophers have always spared no effort to prove the indelible sociality of human beings, this attribute is not enough to find themselves. Too much effect.

Descartes said, I think, therefore I am. Therefore, the least doubt that every person who has the ability to think is the cognition of self-existence. Ash is the same. She affirms her own existence, and is accustomed to wearing a device that connects the spirit and the Internet to fight in virtual games in exchange for a small income in the real world to survive, and at the same time maintain-she thinks there is When the pet dog’s survival changed from a dim sky to a gray connection room like a prison, even the audience thought that this is the real, real sky and apartment, real drinking porridge, real hunger, And such a truth does not need to be explored.

At the point when everything could continue, the guide appeared, and then the dog disappeared, disappearing without a trace in the bedroom with tight doors and windows. Ash began to wonder if he was just a piece of data in this so-called world. The bishop said: Dogs eat better than humans. If they have something to say, they turn to the wordless book to inspire Ash’s own existence. Explore desires.

If there were no fossils, no one would have seen evidence that tens of thousands of ferns existed on the earth. The origin of all this nothingness is like the immortal person facing the wall in Plato’s description, and Ash is the first in this virtual world. A prisoner who broke free of the shackles, a prisoner whose experience was shattered by the truth, and who was struggling to find the end in the endless emptiness.

Although poor combat and second-rate performances will inevitably reduce the viewing experience, Oshii's attention to detail and the application of metaphors are still sophisticated, combined with a unique image style to successfully bring the audience into the world of Avalon. This is for a 14 A few years ago (2001), the small-cost independent film is already commendable. Compared with Nolan's later inception in Inception, who put the virtual directly into the dream world, Avalon undoubtedly has a stronger destructive power to reality.

Before Ash shot Murphy, he saw this "real like illusion" and "real like illusion",
When you hear "Don't be confused by the superficial things, the fallen corpse among us will not disappear, and those who stay will confirm it", when you hear "I will use the pain of the flesh to prove that this is the world you belong to." When, isn’t it trembling in my heart?

A dull and obscure movie, but it gives people the enduring impulse of Blade Runner and the City of Soul. When humans think, God laughs, but if humans don’t think, what meaning does God have? This is a movie that can still clearly recall the world after 10 or even 20 years.

Constantly perjury the world in which you exist, before you can reach the fairyland on the opposite side.
Why did you send me here (SA)?
The answer is yourself.

Love this movie
