The American blockbuster Transcendence (Chinese translation: Transcendence Hacker) released in 2014 tells a sci-fi love story with slightly outdated routines, few turbulent plots, and no unexpected ending. Science fiction is more like a blunt shell, and love is too much. affectation. All in all, as a movie, I definitely wouldn't buy a ticket for it, nor would I want to watch it again. But as a story, it's still somewhat instructive and makes the audience think about something. In the film, scientist Will invented the artificial intelligence robot PIN closest to human beings. While he gained the reputation from the scientific community, he was also criticized and criticized by countless opponents. After a meeting, Will was shot by a member of a militant group. Although he narrowly escaped, the bullet smeared with radioactive material slowly destroyed Will's life. Will's wife and research partner Evelyn was in pain. She and Will's friend Max managed to digitize Will's consciousness and upload it to a smart computer. Will was successfully reborn in a virtual world. His genius mind and advanced technology were perfect. Fusion, started wanting to hack into government and Wall Street databases. Max, who witnessed all this, said he was not Will. And Evelyn said that he is Will because he has Will's memory. Memory is the first keyword. Gradually, Will was no longer satisfied with simple scientific research, but gradually evolved into the pursuit of a kind of power. He is omnipresent, and even uses nanotechnology to make stem cells grow rapidly, which can save dying lives. In every corner of the world, Will can even control the transformed body at will. However, when Will appears to his wife Evelyn as another man and tells her "I am Will", Evelyn begins to wonder if this Will is her husband Will, despite having Will's memory, but has a completely different body, doing things that he can't understand. Body is the second key word. So, Evelyn left this strange Will, afraid that he would destroy the world, and joined others to destroy Will. When asked if he was going to destroy the world, Will replied, no, I just transcended them. Transcendence is the title of the film, Transcendence, which literally translates to "transcendence, transcendence". It also has another religious meaning, "transcendence", which represents the transcendence of God and above the Creator. In other words, Will never thought of hurting others and destroying the world. All he did was to realize the ideal he shared with his wife, technology to change the world and create a better world. At this point, Evelyn believed again that he was Will. Faith is the third keyword. memory, body, belief , which can probably be used as several major reasons for others to recognize "Will is Will". Memory is the most direct and obvious. In the film, the main reason why Evelyn initially believed that he was Will was that he still remembered every bit of their acquaintance. However, memory is obviously only a sufficient and unnecessary condition. The amnesia is still him to a certain extent, because his body has not changed. Therefore, Will, who has changed his body, is no longer believed by Evelyn, because the Will that Evelyn knows has his own specific body. It can be seen that the body is also an important evidence to determine that he is Will. Next, the body is different, must it not be him anymore? On this issue, people with different values will have their own judgments. Materialism believes that the demise of the body means the demise of consciousness, while those who believe in the existence of a soul believe that although the body dies, the consciousness still exists. For example, Buddhists believe in the reincarnation of the soul. The memory of the past life and the future life do not exist, and the body is different, but because of karma, it can also be understood that their souls are the same. The film also gave its own answer, "He is Will", because of the same belief, or "I think, therefore I am".
