2. The current dream of mankind is to abolish entities and solid material intermediaries. Cloud, this apt metaphor provides an imaginary frame of reference. Books and paper are no longer inevitable, music and records are completely disconnected, shopping malls are disappearing, concerts, exhibitions and other cultural activities that require actual experience are being attempted to be moved online by emerging multimedia systems for virtual experience. Sex may be the final threshold for being virtualized. If it is broken through, the human world will be disintegrated and rewritten. And this seems to be slowly becoming a reality. When the skin, the largest organ in the human body, is thoroughly understood by the instrument, then all the feelings of the flesh can be smoothly virtualized. That day may be the culmination of this cloud carnival, too The beginning of the collapse. Now, entities represent clumsiness and ignorance of current affairs. They are like monsters left over from the steam engine era, incompatible with this light cloud era. According to this line of thought, this movie disintegrated the human body, disintegrated the actual communication of interpersonal relationships, and uploaded the brain to the cloud for analysis and calculation, thus shaking the human nature itself.
3. When the program has read your hard disk, browsed all the emails, analyzed your hobbies and interpersonal relationships, at the same time, the program is personified, visualized, and added to the tone-it becomes her or him. The voice and tone will make people unconsciously imagine a look, body and emotion, and people are destined to fall into it. It is impossible to remember that it is a program all the time. People will project their emotions and wait for feedback. The relationship between people is complex and has unknowable consequences, all of which are gratifying and full of fatigue. When the program knows everything in your brain, and then provides a corresponding solution, then the program is destined to become an idealized state of understanding and no claim. But when the wisdom of the program is raised to a certain level, human nature appears. Love and hate, selfishness and giving, freshness and boredom, all human characteristics appear in the program. When people design smart programs, they expect it to produce such emotions, but they want to eliminate some emotions. This is a doomed paradox. In the field of robotics research and development, there is an uncanny valley theory, which states that if the appearance of a robot is more than 95% similar to a real human, even if it is slightly different from a real person, it will look terrifying. This theory also seems to apply to smart programs.
4. The physical body is the basis of human interaction. Initially, virtual programs can only rely on language and tone to convey emotions, but they still cannot cross the physical barrier. So there is a person who helps "Samantha" have a physical body in the film. This scene is a standard "resurrection". Yes, the female volunteer is more like a walking dead than a person. Her body is built in. The brain and soul of others, and the rejection reaction that is destined to occur is disturbing and frightening.
5. The protagonist of the film is set as a mixture of the mansion of liberal arts and the technical house. He is lonely but longs to be loved. His daily work is to describe all kinds of beautiful human relationships in words, but he is only the loneliest figure. And the interpersonal relationships of all entities in the movie are full of flaws. His neighbors and husbands are close together and ended in divorce; and he himself has the same fortune; his company colleagues, everyone is trapped in the grid, made up with words The illusion of life’s warmth and sweetness, but no communication with each other; when he went on a blind date, he met utilitarians who went straight to the purpose of marriage and gave up the process... Such a background is an excellent soil for the emergence of intelligent programs. That program has become a placebo. It is considerate, gentle, and good at communication. For people, it can nourish loneliness and fill desires. But is the depiction of the lonely reality in the movie not our present?
6. The theme of this film has similar appeals to "Black Mirror". The utopian horror of the Internet. But "She" did not depict the scene of the future completely broken from the present, but used a lot of pictures of the current reality, the prosperity and desolation reflected by the lights of the high-rise buildings, the gray sky full of smog, and it faced itself. The crowd with headphones talking in a hurry... This way creates a strong sense of substitution. The film does not completely go to the boundless imagination of science fiction, but is closely linked to reality to create an inescapable sense of alienation and fear.
7. The film’s location selected the typical symbols of the Chinese urban landscape, foggy, chaotic, prosperous and lonely. It seems that matter and desire can reproduce by themselves and become an organism that has nothing to do with human emotions and grows vigorously. All the indoor spaces in the film appear in iconic, orderly, clean and minimalist scenes. It is rare to see scattered personal items and objects that reflect personal interests and hobbies. In this way, the director points to the homogeneity and hollowness of human beings. In the heart, when the personality is completely cancelled, the human nature will also disappear.
8. In the end, human beings are still awakened to the principle that the program can work in multiple threads. It can intelligently chat with hundreds of people at the same time, and play the role of a lover with multiple people at the same time. There is no moral anxiety between switching with each person. . This began to misalign with real human emotions. This misalignment has led to the breakdown of people's trust and confidence in smart programs. The ending of the movie is actually warm and mainstream. The program exits, and humanity triumphs. People come out of illusory comfort and snuggle together in reality. But in fact, there is a more terrifying possibility, that is, intelligent programs can gradually rewrite human nature. In the sweet placebo slow release, human nature gradually accepts the other party’s multi-threaded reality, and no longer explores whether the other party is a human or a program. It is no longer required to have a love and affection that belongs to oneself. When this "evolution" is completed, mankind itself will become a "program".
