Personally, it is still a very good science fiction movie.
The visual effects are particularly exciting, the plot is slightly weaker than the layers of "Inception", and the worldview also draws on the ideas of "The Matrix" and "Inception", so it is not as shocking as the above two films turned out. But I still feel that I have put forward my own thinking. If "The Matrix" is more inclined to explore the boundaries between reality and illusion, whether people have self-awareness, and describe the struggle between computers and humans for world dominance, "Inception" focuses on expressing the path of personal salvation, then "World" used this story to ask us such a question: Will some people become "gods" when science and technology reach the future where people can control the world of thinking? In the past few years, the famous Israeli scholar Yuval Harari put forward this view in "A Brief History of the Future: From Homo Sapiens to God Man". I feel that some of the ideas in this movie coincide with Harari’s views. . Harari gave an example of such a "robot biochemical mouse" in "A Brief History of the Future":
"Scientists implanted electrodes in the area of the rat’s brain that control sensations and rewards, so that the rat can be controlled remotely. With a little training, the researchers can not only control the rat to turn left or right, but also climb ladders and use them. Smell the trash dump... Homo sapiens experiments show that humans can be manipulated just like rats. As long as it can stimulate the correct position of the human brain, even complex feelings such as love, anger, fear or frustration can also be manipulated. Create or restrain." As said in The Matrix, although you know that everything is illusory, the texture of steak in your mouth is much better than that of rebel food. If the technology is sufficiently developed, such a virtual world Is it true that it can be more tempting than the cold and objective real world? Harari went on to discuss this line of thinking. If the life sciences are sufficiently developed to prove that conscious activities are only biological algorithms, and people do not have free will, coupled with the continuous development of computer science, "the new technology in the 21st century may completely reverse the humanistic revolution. , Let humans surrender their authority and send them to the hands of non-human algorithms." In such a world, "useless classes" will appear, and humanity as a whole still has value. However, individuals no longer have authority and are governed by algorithms, and there will be a very small number of privileged elites, similar to the "term birthers" in Liu Cixin's "Support for Mankind", they are like the gods in "Genesis", Nietzsche said The "Superman" of the People's Republic of China is no longer the same as human beings, but is a product of re-evolution. The mad scientist in "Alien" is like the beginning of all this. He said: "If you want to make money, then create a religion." Although it did not succeed in the end, its development direction is worrying. Imagine that in this other world, he is the creator of all rules and can determine who can enter the "paradise". Those who rebel against him will be severely punished, and those who have lost hope in real life will eagerly yearn for this virtual reality. In the world, he will have a steady stream of followers, and he has become a "man of god". In this story, the mad scientist is not so all-knowing and omnipotent. He even needs the help of the male protagonist to create a city. He is far from reaching the level of "God", but he also has a tendency to become a "God-man". Just as Bill Hines in "Three Body" said, "God cannot confess." Imagine many years later, if scientists succeed, "Cloud Care for the Elderly" will become the most influential sect in the world. How would a believer write the "sacred book" of the sect? They will write like this: The beginning of the world is a chaos, there was a Tao in the beginning, the "God of Sleep" created everything. He and the "architect" created the "paradise" and invited people to live together. Among the students of the "God of Sleep", "architects" and "astronomers" are the most gifted, but "architects" often contradict their mentors, disobey their mentors, and take credit for pride. Finally he betrayed the "God of Sleep" and tempted the students of the tutors of "Astronomers", "Ghosts" and "Phantoms". Therefore, the "God of Dreams" used his ability to drive them out of the "Paradise" and they would be purged. The eternal punishment of... Does this mean that everyone will truly respect the "God of Sleep" and worship the "Cloud Care for the Elderly". The issues discussed in "Other Worlds" may not necessarily become the future development direction of mankind, but they also sounded the alarm for mankind. Finally, let us think again about the three questions that Harari raised in "A Brief History of the Future": "1. Is biology really just an algorithm, and is life really just data processing? 2. Intelligence and consciousness, after all Which one is more valuable? 3. When the unconscious but highly intelligent algorithms know ourselves better than we do, what changes will happen to society, politics, and daily life?" When unconscious but highly intelligent algorithms understand ourselves better than we do, what changes will happen to society, politics, and daily life? " When unconscious but highly intelligent algorithms understand ourselves better than we do, what changes will happen to society, politics, and daily life? "
