Another low-cost brain-burning science fiction film about the intellectual battle between computers and people

"Infinite Secret Chamber" is a typical low-cost work with the plot itself as a selling point. The story takes a secret room as the main scene and unfolds around people's memory. The complicated part is that this memory can be true or false. How to judge has become a key point of whether the protagonist can get rid of the predicament. This is also the key to the whole movie. The protagonist of the film is a man named Frank. He woke up from the attack and found himself in a secret room, accompanied by only one "life support operator" Howard. This Howard is not a human being, but just a computer that executes commands. He appeared in the secret room with a surveillance probe and talked to Frank. Frank said that he had no idea why he was locked up here. He is a law-abiding citizen, so he must have made a mistake. Howard said that its mission is to ensure that Frank is kept alive and knows nothing else. Of course things are not that simple. Frank actually knows computers very well, but he hates computers and doesn't like everything in life to be controlled by computers. After his father suffered a heart attack, he was kept a meaningless life by the machine for four years. In his opinion, this was a violation of human freedom and dignity. And Howard is not just "protecting life". There is also a mysterious machine called a "neural scanner" in the secret room. It can use memory fragments in the human brain to create memories (like a dream) in order to discover Secrets that people actively hide. Frank and Howard not only get along day and night in the secret room, but also face each other in memory. Frank's memory cycled repeatedly. One is when he gets up and prepares to act and unplugs a USB flash drive from the computer; the other is his interaction with the female shopkeeper Gaby in a cafe before he was attacked. (The following will involve spoilers and personal interpretations of key plots) From these memory fragments, it is revealed what kind of world is outside the secret room. The outside world is strictly managed by an artificial intelligence system. Human freedom and rights have been violated. The opponents formed an alliance to destroy this system. Frank is a member of this rebel alliance. Before he was caught, he had created a virus that could damage the system, and he had hidden the U disk storing the virus. Now the whereabouts of the U disk is the focus of attention of both parties. Frank is very familiar with the system, and he also knows how to deal with the machine's prying into his memory. He set up a "organ", once touched, the memory will be interrupted, and his secret will not be discovered. The main content of the second half of the film is that due to some accidental connection between the secret room and the outside world, the food and water in the secret room are exhausted, and Frank escaped by using the loopholes in Howard's program that had to keep him alive. Within this period Is content actually happening, or is it a memory made by a computer? I think it is the latter. It was not Frank who caught the loopholes in the computer and escaped, but the computer used Frank's will to survive to destroy his "organ" and finally found his USB flash drive. The most direct evidence is that the film inserted the scene of the female cafe owner being locked in another secret room during Frank's escape, so the scene where Frank and the female shopkeeper met in the "New World" was fake. The following is a brief analysis of how the computer defeated Frank. The computer constantly circulates Frank's original memory on the one hand, and on the other hand creates new fake memories for Frank. Frank's memories in the cafe continue to circulate, and he and the female shopkeeper are getting more and more familiar, so that the lonely imprisoned him has emotional sustenance and "loves in life". The memory was interrupted time and time again, but the computer did not get nothing. It did not find the USB flash drive, but gradually discovered where Frank's "instrument" was. The "institution" is not Frank's identity scan and the police attack, but a certain photo on the wall of the cafe. His USB flash drive is hidden behind the photo, as long as the memory of the photo is terminated, the USB flash drive will not be found. The computer made the first escape to test this "instrument", and in the second escape, replaced the photos with real scenery to crack the "instrument". Why was Frank fooled? He himself can't distinguish between true and false. Anything that happens to him may be a fake memory made by the computer. The computer convinced him that the secret room had lost its supply, and he would be dead if he stayed any longer and had to escape. The computer also designed Howard, a "simple" buggy character, deliberately to make him feel that there is still a ray of life. In fact, everything is under the control of the computer. Compared with computers, people are still fragile. But these "shortcomings"—freedom, emotions, and even fear—are not the reasons why people should be valued? "Infinite Chamber", like many sci-fi movies that also show human frustration (of course the format and quality are different), is a fable reminding humans not to get lost on the road of development.

Infinity Chamber quotes

  • Fletcher: What's your favorite meal as a kid? First thing that comes to mind.

    Frank: My father made pancakes.

    Fletcher: Think about that. Think about him. Think about the place. The smells, every detail. Can you see it?

    Frank: Yeah.

    Fletcher: Now, everything stays the same. Same man, same smells, same moments, but... He's making waffles. The memory stays the same but the entry point is different. They're in the right house but they kicked down the wrong door. Man, I could really go for some god damn waffles right now.

  • Frank: I'm not really here.

    Gabby: No?

    Frank: No. You're not here, none of us here.

    Gabby: Ah, really? Well, that would explain my profit margins.
