Finally accepted the status of the pioneering work of science fiction

After watching The Matrix 1, it felt like an ordinary science fiction movie, because in 2021 this kind of special effects and slow motion shooting techniques have been played badly, and the settings are not so fresh. But the setting of the second part was immediately sublimated, giving the movie a deeper value. Finally, I realized how great the pioneering work of science fiction movies is.

The first part is about the failure of human beings in the war with machines. Machines imprisoned humans to absorb energy as power, and created a matrix to allow human consciousness to remain in the matrix. This matrix is ​​similar to the real human society, but everything Including forest buildings and even sunrise are just code. But gradually, human beings awakened from the mother body, escaped from this fictional matrix and established zion, which can exist with self-consciousness. A batch of agent programs are set up in the matrix to hunt down these awakened humans. The male protagonist played by Keanu awakens and becomes the savior in the first part (still cannot accept the setting of being resurrected as the savior after being kissed by the female protagonist), can see through all the codes in the mother body, and can modify the code, ignoring the mother body All the physical rules of the world. Then the humans in zion hope to counterattack the mother under the leadership of the one.

Then came to the second part of setting the super god. This so-called savior is actually set by machines. The first-generation matrix is ​​too perfect (A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure), but humans themselves are imperfect, so the first-generation matrix cannot bear and collapse (The inevitability of its doom is a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human), the programmer designed the second-generation matrix (more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of human nature) based on the imperfect nature of humans, but this imperfect program will have loopholes, so there will be awakening and escape from the mother body. Humanity. Every time one escapes, it will consume calculations to kill one. So just wait for the rebellious humans to gather and arrange for them a savior. Under this trigger, humans can launch attacks, and the program can also wipe out humans in one fell swoop. The function of the savior is to carry the code back to the host when human beings are about to rebel, replant the code into the main program, and complete the upgrade of the entire program. What's ridiculous is that the savior that human beings can bring freedom to them is nothing more than the setting of machines to fix their own bugs. The savior can only lead mankind to destruction. Therefore, in the movie it is said that the male protagonist is the sixth-generation savior, which is the emergence of one integral anomaly. In addition, another reason why machines nurture humans is that machines only have codes composed of 0 and 1. However, humans have the ability to evolve themselves through learning from humans. Only in the process of consciousness awakening and rebellion can machines evolve.

Like the red and blue pills in the first part, there are also choices in the second part, with two doors, one is the life and death of the entire human being, and the other is the life and death of the heroine. (The speechless male protagonist finally chooses to save the female protagonist), but this reflects the difference of the sixth generation savior. He has love and love saves everything...

Many of the settings in this film are very interesting. There is a chief designer who designed the matrix, representing the conservative group, who believes that the machine uses the savior to collect error information to improve the bug to reach the evolution of the machine. There is a prophet who has the opposite attitude of the chief designer. She believes that the evolution of machines requires bugs, and super bugs such as the savior will trigger the evolution of machines under certain conditions. There are some programs whose functions are no longer useful. The ending they face is only to be deleted, but they want to survive, so they find a place to hide. There is also an ancient program like Melowenqi, which is equivalent to the nobles in the program. They hire some buggy programs as thugs to stabilize their position. Nobles like them don't want to see the evolution of machines, because evolution will weaken them. Their full strength.
