The source of the loop goes back to Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Why did Kurosawa Kiyoshi have such a script idea? I think he has to thank the Japanese society today, a highly electronic and digital society. In films like Blade Runner, we can see the dystopian future city. So black Zeqing had an idea. Of course, it is an idea that many media scholars and pro-Frankfurt School intellectuals would agree with, and that is the alienation and alienation of people under high technology.
And unfortunately, this is just an idea I like more. I'm talking about appreciation, not total agreement. I am not yet qualified to make condescending summaries and statements on the proposition of a high-tech dystopian society. But I like the wake-up call and thinking that this proposition brings to us - the American scholar Sherry Turkle has written a book a few years ago and discussed that the whole life and personality are pinned on the Second identity in cyberspace. The inevitable consequence of such technological intrusion and substitution is that the allegorical limbs in the film are bruised and turned into dust. Life turns to ashes, ashes turn to void. Hackers who have been forced to "digitize" and characters who rely on computers have sacrificed their lives to the digital world of ghosts. In the film, this layer of meaning is represented by a computer virus that cannot be controlled and cannot be removed. As long as there is a digital communication device, the virus can pass through the barrier and come to your side to kill.
Of course, such a setting must be the fruit of hard-line techno-pessimists. But is the real world much better than the world in the movies? Nowadays, the virtual space of the Internet is full of various symbols, but there is no real "people". The lack of physical and physical communication situations, the weakening of identity authentication, and the indifference of emotions have made the online virtual life of many people a "lonely carnival".
On this level, the film still has a certain connotation. It's a pity that this connotation may only be fully displayed in the original version of Kurosawa Kiyoshi. The American version of the circuit is not without the clichéd love scenes of escape, the fright scene when the lights are turned off, and the suspense scene with ghosts and shadows in the toilet. However, apart from all these shortcomings, the gray-blue tone of the film and the cold and dead set are still remarkable. Forget the Americans, this is just a remake of a thriller teen flick.
