In addition to the World Cup recently, "Edge of Tomorrow" has become more popular. Watching Tom's death happily again and again, the majority of nymphomaniacs think Tom is still very handsome. And I think this setting is very handsome, very suitable for the film's expression of "life is like a play". Then I went back, flipped through some books, and threw the books over the table. It turns out that this setting existed thousands of years ago! And this setting thousands of years ago is the Buddhist theory of "six reincarnation". Simply speaking, the six realms are the realms of heaven, the realm, the realm of asura, the realm of beasts, the realm of evil spirits, and the realm of hell. All beings in the world will reincarnate in these six realms. The transcendence of "Edge of Tomorrow" is that after hanging up, you still stay in the world, and you can accumulate experience points once you hang up. From the perspective of the worldviews of the firm supporters of atheism and the Five Talks and Four Beautiful Youths, in the final analysis, these should be people's self-promotion of transcending the great dream of life and death. Let's take a look at some works of art derived from transcending life and death. The weatherman Phil in the movie "Groundhog Day" was forced to fall into the one-day cycle of Groundhog Day because of a snowstorm; the girl in the movie "Lola Run" rescued her lover in the same period of time three times During the period, she hangs up once, and her lover hangs up once; in the novel "A Prisoner for a Day", a criminal was sentenced to the punishment of spending a lifetime on the same day. In this story, the protagonist does not have to hang up, the time is automatically cycled. The final ending is open-ended; the story of the novel "The Ruins of Time" in which the whole world circulates within 20 hours and 33 minutes, the content can be said to be grand and exciting. Of course there are many more, like "Repaly" by Ken Greenwood, "Ripples on the Dirac Sea" by Jeffrey A. Landis , These unstoppable "Xiaoqiang" have created too many surprises for us, and the stories under this setting will basically be welcomed by everyone. Regarding why there is a cycle, Buddhism’s "six-path reincarnation" setting is borrowed from Indian Brahmanism. Brahmanism’s supreme holy scripture "Vedas" was recited by ancient saints upon divine inspiration, and finally compiled by Vyāsa. It is a popular point that this setting is programmed by God (this is too high to bear to look directly at it). Neither "Groundhog Day" nor "Lola Run" explained the loop, the director just used it as a means of showing anxiety in life. The cycle of "Prisoner for a Day" is artificially created. As a torture higher than the death penalty, I personally feel that this setting is beyond the scope of human abilities. The cycle of "Ruins of Time" is because the collision of artificial particles triggers the consciousness sensor network set up by the super civilization, which causes all human consciousness to enter the consciousness sea composed of interactive consciousness. The consciousness sea allows the original world to reappear every fixed time period. , So people have the "illusion" of time loop. The cycle of "Edge of Tomorrow" is because after the surveillance node of the battlefield is terminated, the alien "time wizard" resets the time to ensure the victory of this war. It can be seen that the settings of "Ruins of Time" and "Edge of Tomorrow" are similar to those of "Vedas". They both rely on external forces to complete the cycle. Gods, super civilizations or alien civilizations are all higher than The existence of human civilization. Therefore, the shortest way for human beings to surpass life and death is to wait to be abused by alien civilizations. As for what consciousness uploads and longevity, humanity’s own efforts to surpass life and death are all struggling endlessly on the road to death, because of this. They are all alienated human beings, and the result is either a god or a neuropathy. The brilliance of "Edge of Tomorrow" is that in this cycle, we see a kind of tenacity of the protagonist, a sense of responsibility to the whole humanity. The more you fight against the civilization of the five scum, the more difficult it will be to win, and it can be a monumental monument. In the rules of the game of a powerful alien civilization, you are persevering in seeking the hope of life. It can be said that this is also an inspirational film, a can A heroic film titled "Undead". This is a new brilliance of "Edge of Tomorrow" on an ancient setting. Star civilizations are all higher than human civilizations. Therefore, the shortest way for human beings to surpass life and death is to wait to be abused by alien civilizations.
