Movies that provide ideas for the Matrix

There are two ways to tell this story: Arnold is unwilling to live in ordinary life and pllp, he loads his memories, saves Mars as a Martian agent, and satisfies his heroic dream. The other is that Arnold was a Mars agent with a shocking secret in his mind. He was kept away from Mars as an undercover agent and was arranged to load Mars memory without success. The undercover identity was revealed and helped the enemy demolish his home. Later, Rimbaud took possession of his body and killed the Quartet to save Mars. True or false becomes a question of which one you believe. The sci-fi elements inside: automatic manicure (cyberization of human body); exaggerated subway security machine; can be gamified, and even load virtual memory (then it will be really inhuman); aunt mask (full horror effect) Quite interesting tips In the subway advertisement, after the memory transplantation, the subway advertisement becomes "Don't be deceived by false memories." (So, the possibility of a dream is high.) Arnold wearing a shower cap is a bit funny. Philip's novel is very flying. The background is that the atmosphere of Mars is controlled by alien technology, allowing large consortiums to control resources, controlling Martians through the air, and incidentally also introduces information such as memory transplantation and genetic mutants. This is not " 2077" prototype? In addition, there are the aunt's mask, three chests, and the Tibetan abdomen. And there are two shots that are very similar to the Matrix. One is the nose clip tracker, and the other is to choose the red pill and choose the real one. It's great, very lively, but it's a pity that I want to see a director with better control, such as Nolan. But Nolan may think that the concept of memory transplantation, cyberpunk, etc. will look too old.

Incidentally, why do you look for excitement if your wife is so good-looking? Is it because the subconscious is aware that it is not real? Ha ha.

    Adapting a Dick's novel into a hero film, I hate the American hero save the world model the most... but the most enjoyable is the grotesque mutants, and the ambiguous ending: you can think everything is true, you You can also think that everything is a dream!

    A few days ago, I watched "Make Your Famous" and also mentioned lines about memory. As early as the 1990s, "Total Recall" wrote an article on the concept of memory. The whole story discusses many profound issues around the process of the governor's search for memory, such as Whether changing a person's memory can really change a person completely, how to distinguish between dreams and reality, etc. In addition to this sci-fi concept, the film also uses the villain's mouth to express a sense of awe for nature, as well as abuse of human resources and over-development of technology of fear. Verhoeven not only integrated these profound expressions into the film, but also made the film popular and attractive. The addition of commercial elements such as various gunfights and car chases, as well as the combination with elements such as B-class cults (especially the Mars part) can be seen. Mature control and powerful soundtrack are also a plus. (8.5/10)

Total Recall quotes

  • Kuato: What do you want, Mr. Quaid?

    Douglas Quaid: The same as you; to remember.

    Kuato: But why?

    Douglas Quaid: To be myself again.

    Kuato: You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory.

  • Richter: You have to make a decision, sir.

    Vilos Cohaagen: Kill him.
