This was the worst time I cried in a movie theater. Then I cried down the elevator and walked into Starbucks crying. Now I am writing this film review and I am still crying.
Anyone who treats this movie as a subculture carnival or a kind of consumption symbol is a blasphemy of this movie. I curse all those who interpret this movie in the form of easter eggs or textual research.
This movie is our best wish and expectation for how to reshape utopia in this era.
1 The need for utopia
The real world is indeed riddled with holes, and the need for the virtual world means that we can no longer find any meaning in the real world. We never know what era began, and the reasons are unknown to us. The expectation of religion is over, the expectation of Protestantism is over, the expectation of science is over, and the expectation of modern society is over. We have to deal with only the rest of consumption and pleasure. This is why we still can only do consumer interpretation of such a movie.
I found the appearance of all the easter eggs inside, but couldn't read any meaning inside.
If mankind has another chance to build our utopia, it will be in a unified and broad virtual world. Therefore, this movie has a strong contemporary character.
2 All the spirit of utopia
This movie perfectly shows all the elements and processes of this utopian reconstruction.
-A genius idea (holiday’s original oasis)
-Heroism (Top 5 Oasis)
-Selfless (the protagonist shares power with the top five)
-Elite spirit (the sacrifice of everyone in the top five and the selfishness of another senior player inside)
-Break away from capitalism (confrontation with IOI)
-Common will (all participation)
-Constantly overcome the courage we used to make mistakes (the meaning of Holiday’s Easter eggs and the appearance of another founder)
-Respect for the truth (keep the real world)
This movie perfectly restores all the elements and details of the establishment of this utopia, each of which has actually been lost in our real world.
Geniuses were corroded early by actual fame and fortune or self-esteem. Ordinary people did not believe that they could be heroes at all. They could only survive their broken lives feebly. When we had the opportunity, we would use the legal framework to restrict and interfere with each other. This is the greatest invention. Not only does he deny the possibility of becoming excellence, but also mocks all attempts to become excellence in a cynic way, plunges into the capitalist culture, and either embraces consumption or the game of money. Then return to the Internet to attack and condemn each other, take pleasure in the sufferings and disadvantages of others, attribute all mistakes to others instead of ourselves, accept all stupid or unethical descriptions of others on the Internet, and escape the real pressure And weight, look for some light entertainment on the Internet.
Therefore, when these great spirits are appropriately displayed in a movie, the display itself appears so moving. This kind of moving itself contains the cherishment and feeling for the passing away. When all the good is lost, people sit around the ruins and campfires at night, thinking of the glory and goodness of the past, no one can hold back crying.
3 A perfect movie, maybe not so perfect
This is another perfect movie I have seen. It has achieved the ultimate in fusion of commercial movies and idealism. The rhythm of the business part is very precise, the ideal part is shaped completely, and the intention is very high. You can't feel the passage of time in the movie theater. After watching it, there is continuous touch and thinking.
But the not-so-perfect part is that this movie is too idealistic, the positive characters in it are immaculate, and the others are also unusually selfless, which makes this movie lose a lot of true depth.
However, if idealism is the most perfect form, regardless of its authenticity form, it does need an expression. Many dramas and cultural works in history are also described in this way. In terms of a comprehensive depiction of ideals, this film The movie has been almost perfect.
4 Back to reality
Now I am sitting in this Starbucks, the world of ideas in the movie fades in my mind a little bit, and the cruel reality of reality strikes again. Surrounded by cowardly and short-sighted people, where I can see are all signs of consumption and price tags, if someone promises control of this colorful world, I am afraid that very few people can resist such temptation.
However, utopia is indeed to be built in such a world, including changes to everyone I see now, and changes to all things I see.
We will have to put in a hundred and thousand times more effort than in the movie, and it will take us a long time, to even slow down the speed of the world's fall. And we may need to spend a thousand times more time and strength to make utopia really come.
Along these tens of thousands of miles of suffering, there is such a film to comfort us, and let us see the light and beauty of utopia, remind us countless times that it is worth looking forward to, and give ourselves to countless times to start again. everything of. This movie is enough.
Continue on the journey.
