Mao Zi’s sci-fi works often have only one style (except for those truly high-end Chongao works), that is, "there is a style but no reality". Looking at the conception "flashy" and the content "avant-garde and bold", it is a pity that they are integrated. That's not the case at all. In other words, when they are "in bulk", they stand out, and the "finished product" is broken into slag. This inexplicable "contrast" characteristic has discouraged countless people who are keen to watch Russian works.

This work is also in line with the "traits" mentioned in the previous article. The concept is fair, the characters are beautiful, the pictures are exquisite, and the story is general, mixed together to form a "four unlikeness". Next, talk about the idea and story of this work. As for the characters and pictures, there is no need to waste time, remembering the word "exquisite" is enough.

1. Conception

1. Dreams , dream machines, throw people who are in unsatisfactory states in reality into the illusory world of dreams, thereby obtaining the so-called "new life". In the play, dreams are not only the carrier of memory, but also the starting point of the "new life".

2. Reality , that is, "negative life", the frustration and frustration in reality, the confusion and disappointment in life, the decadence and abandonment in life, and all kinds of bad emotions defeat the "empty" life. What is shown in the play is not only "art", but also a real "life".

3. "Dreamland" interweaves "reality" . Obviously, drawing on the creativity of "Red Pepper", connecting "dream" and "reality" together. Of course, the "connection" in this play, no matter from the perspective of innovation, As far as the content itself is concerned, they all belong to the "prime level" and basic items.

Second, the story

It can be interpreted from three clues.

First, the dream world . Yan, the old man in the laboratory, tried to become the "creator" of the virtual world with the help of the "architect". In addition, he was the mastermind behind the incident (experiment), and he also integrated the key factors of "the right time, the right place and the people". It's a pity that I miscalculated a little (underestimated V's love power), and ultimately failed.

Secondly, escape game-escape from dreams, out of illusion . This point needs to be viewed in two parts, because not everyone in the story wants to get out of this illusion. Why is there such a phenomenon? Who else wants to leave? What kind of people want to stay?

Let's solve the last two questions first. Those who leave are those who "have longing for real life". In contrast, those who have left "have no nostalgia for real life". To put it bluntly, the "attitude to life" is different, which determines the direction of choice.

Let's look at the original question again, "Why?"

One is the gap. The gap between reality and dreams has caused some people to have an illusion that dreams (where they are useful) are more suitable for them than reality (only humble and poor), and they can better reflect the "existence value".

Second, be alive. In the dream, oneself can use all the "advantages" to live, and there seems to be no time limit. This is a temptation for many people. This is also one of the reasons for "forgetting to return" and "reluctant to think about Shu".

Finally, the power of love-Viktor (architect) holds hands with Fly . V in dreams and in reality fell in love with F at first sight. This is absolutely true love. This one-way (in reality, F has given up V) and pure love, pulled V back from the dream, allowing him to communicate face-to-face with the boss and secretly plan how to leave the dream and walk out of the laboratory. (Of course, it is undeniable that the final escape was successful, quite "deliberate", it feels obviously "wishful thinking" by the screenwriter, without logic at all)

end.
