First of all, I won't mention the word easter egg. I almost vomit this word, and everyone seems to have some misunderstanding about this word. The part of people's worldview can't really be called easter egg. Secondly, if you think of this as a popcorn movie, and if you think you’re serious and you lose or it’s enough to take a break, please turn off this comment. It’s meaningless, really. . .
In fact, think about it carefully, there are indeed many problems among the top players that may be unacceptable but also very uncomfortable for core players. For example, why the future game form must be virtual reality. We really want to become Mali. Does Ao drill the water pipe to mine the moon in virtual reality? Do you really want to become a character in a fighting game and fight with others. Why must it be an online game? So what are these well-made stand-alone games that we are playing now, what is the Witcher III, and what is the last of us, is it just worth showing a face in your online game as a background?
It is precisely because of this premise that virtual reality is regarded as a game form by default, the movie will warn us at the end that the game is not reality, let us return to reality, and feel the beauty of reality. This is obviously to express from a condescending attitude, well, The game is not bad, but the reality is better, so it is closed two days a week. For the director, the reality is obviously contradictory and larger than the game. But the problem is that games are games. We should treat games as we treat movies, dramas, paintings and other works of art. We should treat them as part of this beautiful real world, not the opposite of contradictions. What's more, what we get from games Fun cannot be given in the real world or in any other art form. Therefore, the movie here regards games as a tool for escaping from reality, and putting reality above games will make us very uncomfortable, because games and reality are not contradictory and equal, and games are an important part of reality.
(Insert a paragraph, maybe the above description of game and reality is a bit confusing and complicated, here can be a simple analogy. Suppose someone made a movie about books, and the protagonist in it entered the world of various books and met I told you all kinds of fantasy experiences and classic characters. At the end of the story, I tell you, go back to reality, and stop reading two days a week. Take a good look at the world. May I ask if you can accept this ending? Here is the book Can be replaced with paintings, movies, and music.)
Therefore, the film’s distortion of the value of the game is that no amount of stalking, no amount of tribute, can not be saved, those flashing faces will only make one by one played or pretend to have played this game. People who are really excited about the game, the players who really love the game, the beautiful players who have really experienced the game, and the players who really understand the meaning of the game, will hope that this is not a movie with a lot of material, and hope that the movie can renew the world. Know the game, understand the game, and truly agree with the meaning of the game as an art form in the real world, instead of telling us from a superior perspective that you can tolerate the game and warn us not to forget to return to reality.
Nevertheless, even though this great director who may represent the entire film industry has some deviations in the understanding of the game, we still have to thank him, not only because we can see our beloved character on the big screen, but also because in this game is still Many people regard it as a synonym for loneliness and sorrow, or even a scapegoat for violence and crime. With a tolerant heart, he shows the world that games are not like this, and show the good side of games that are not recognized by the public.
Perhaps in the future, there will be a director who has a more thorough understanding of the game, who can make a movie that is more in line with the core player's game values, which will make us more self-identified. But in any case, the number one player is still one of the great movies that can be recorded in history.
