lamentation of modern man

It was boring at first, I almost fell asleep watching it, but as the story unfolded step by step, I gradually woke up. To be precise, I woke up with a fright, not a horror movie-like fright, but a sense of what might appear in the future. Fear of a situation. Imagine a day when everyone's appearance, pleasure, lust, and other things people want to change - your entire life can be realized according to your own ideas - of course in a virtual environment, your real life remains the same develop according to the normal law. You are indulging in bliss in a virtual paradise, where flowers are blooming, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, there are constant parties every day, handsome guys and beauties are like clouds... You are indulged in all kinds of sensory stimulation at your fingertips, and you, at the same time, are In the real world, you are getting old slowly, and your years are gone. What choice will you make? What if reality and virtuality are irreversible? What impresses me most about the film is that the heroine wakes up from a virtual life and returns to reality, only to find that the originally prosperous streets of this world are in ruins everywhere. . This is the consequence of people's greed for virtual pleasure. I can't help but think of a book I read not long ago called "Public Opinion," by Lippmann. It mentioned a concept called mimetic environment, let’s learn it now and sell it now. The concept means that our information environment is the environment that the media prompts to people through the selective processing and re-structuring of symbolic events or information. Mimics are not objective representations of real environments. In a sense, the media, like the magic hallucinogen in this film, have created an environment of non-objective reality. It is extremely frightening to think that the behavior of modern people has long been separated from the response to the real environment, and our various behaviors have actually completely relied on the prompts given by the mass. The information society gives people the freedom of choice, but the price of this freedom is that a high wall is erected on the way to the real world. Is this the sadness of modern people?
