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?

I like this story so much. Simple can be seen as a poetic matrix reproduction. But it presents a future that is more likely than "AI uses humans to generate electricity". Lime's original book is said to use a vicious sense of humor to speculate on the dark situation of human beings, so this "public garden built by self-dead human beings" (the so-called collective dream) in the movie is hidden in needles. disturbed. Therefore, when comparing more interpretations of the same theme (cypong), for the first time, animation has become a more suitable expression than CGI. (When the virtual is more abstract than before, it makes the imagination of reality larger) and the story flies and flies, to the clouds, but eventually falls back to the ground - even if the "past no longer exists" but Robin is in the dream Write your own ending. This made me like it even more.

Michelle Gonrigatakovsky, and a little bit more Wes Anderson and Terry Gilliam, have created such a work beyond the times. It is not known whether the free and ethereal perspective comes from human beings. Maybe the film itself belongs to In the future, but we can still be moved by the emotions and think about the insinuations. Maybe we should really be glad that we still exist in a world that we can feel.

Robin Wright: Does that make sense? Or is this just in my mind?
Robot: Ultimately, everything make sense. And everything is in our mind.
