Good film buried

First of all, the use of light and shadow effects in the movie is superb, Fassbender is simply "master of mirror" + "master of glass"

Secondly, the plot setting is ups and downs, but the unscrupulous story at first glance is full of suspense.

The performance of the actors is very exciting, especially the performance of the male lead, which is very tense, whether it is emotional manipulation or body language performance. The performance of the supporting actors fits well with the plot. The personalities of the main supporting actors are all well performed. The overall performance style gives a feeling of a stage play.

Most of the film’s soundtrack is classical symphony, and a brisk guitar minor is used in the connection of part of the plot. Of course, there is also a noise background that fits the plot.

As a science fiction film, the construction of the world view is very delicate, but there are several key loopholes, such as the change of thinking at the end, which is not clearly explained. This film can be said to be the pioneering work of the same type of sci-fi. Later films such as "The Matrix", "Inception", and "Alternative Dimensional Hacker" all have different degrees of reference. Unfortunately, this pioneering work is silent in the history of filming. Chinese is not well known.

    I watched the nearly 3 and a half hour movie in one go. This is Fassbender's 70 years of work, and the inspiration for "The Matrix" came from this film. The painterly tone of this film appeals to me more than Hacker's Bullet Space, a sci-fi film with a suspenseful feel.

    I prefer to believe that this is a political satire in a sci-fi coat. The enslavement of ideas under power is a level that can never be escaped, but it seems that it cannot be solved like the male protagonist when he dies. The picture is too beautiful, the structure and the sense of form make it all more absurd.

World on a Wire quotes

  • Fred Stiller: Here's a riddle I came across: imagine a drawing of a Greek warrior holding a spear looking to his right and taking a step. With a turtle going the same way. First, does that ring a bell? Ever seen such a drawing?

    Franz Hahn: Me? What's this all about?

    Fred Stiller: Vollmer left me this drawing. Does it mean anything to you?

    Franz Hahn: Bizarre, if you ask me.

    Fred Stiller: Bizarre, sure. Does it remind you of anything?

    Franz Hahn: Maybe.

    Fred Stiller: What?

    Franz Hahn: Zeno.

    Fred Stiller: Zeno?

    Franz Hahn: Yes. Zeno's paradox. Achilles and the tortoise. Achilles tries to overtake the tortoise, but cannot. By the time he reaches where it was, the turtle has moved ahead.

    Fred Stiller: What could the paradox mean to our work?

    Franz Hahn: I'm only the psychologist for the creations. But, as I recall, the paradox is meant to show that movement is an illusion.

  • Franz Hahn: I can imagine what Vollmer's shattering discovery was. I bet it had to do with his attitude towards the identity units we'd programmed in his computer. You remember how he called them "my children".

    Fred Stiller: He was only joking.

    Franz Hahn: You can't spend years feeding data into a computer that allows for the simulation of every aspect of human behavior without asking yourself if it might lead to the creation of something resembling human consciousness.
