For Lingyin, self-understanding.

Lingyin is a product of a tool that chaotically merges the real world with the online world. Someone wanted to use her powers to become a so-called god. The whole process is Lingyin's self-exploration, the id, and the denial and resistance that she belongs to the online world, which also shows that the real world is the proof of the true existence of the self. The ending is sad and happy. People in the real world let Lingyin wake up and choose to return to zero to save the world. Lingyin completely accepts that she is a god. Is that whether the online world dominates reality or reality can always modify the online world. After watching, it is thought-provoking.

Finally, I really like Lingyin's hair and the way she looks when her mood changes. In my opinion, she is always a kind girl who wants to be recognized and loved.

    It has a certain effect on the small round face. Jin Min's "The House of Weima" was also released in Japan in 1998. In the same year, there were also films such as "The City of Moving Souls", including the same period of the 1999 college entrance examination composition proposition and "The Thirteenth Floor", "The Matrix" and other works ...why there are so many works about memory and the discussion of reality and illusion appear in the same period, one can't help but think that it is possible that human beings acquired a certain perception in the same period and reflected it in the works.

    Miho Iwakura: The wired might actually be thought of as a highly advanced upper layer of the real world. In other words, physical reality is nothing but an illusion, a hologram of the information that flows to us through the wired.

    Lain Iwakura: But ma...

    Miho Iwakura: This is because the body, physical motion, the activity of the human brain is merely a physical phenomenon, simply caused by synapses delivering electrical impulses.
