There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to love life after knowing the truth. ——It is said that Romain Rolland said that after chasing the drama until E05, he can finally write a summary article. call. Now it can be said that there is a relationship between each electronic dream of PKD, or that the show has a theme. It's a tear between reality, ideal and truth. The people in the play are choosing between living in reality / pursuing the truth / grasping the ideal. First of all, the third and fourth episodes can probably be counted as the first group. E03 scheduler Ed, and Ed in E04 Crazy Diamonds are not just the same name. When I see these two people, I always feel that everyone, every ordinary person, is living under the shackles called "living like chewing wax", and everyone is a slave to life. It's just that the person who puts the shackles on the dispatcher is his mentally ill son, and the biologist's hand wants to catch the dream of El Dorado.
So how to choose? How can we judge whether a person's life is a comedy or a tragedy? There's no way to judge, and we outsiders in other people's lives aren't qualified either. The scheduler chose to live in the truth of having a son; the biologist broke free and was thrown into the sea. In terms of motivation, the scheduler is not a staunch realist. His choice of the truth is entirely out of love for his son; while the biologist chooses the ideal, but his vision is too poor, and he is suspicious and everywhere. Jill, who seduces an old man for no reason, is embarrassed - he underestimates reality. As a result, the dispatcher's life may still be as boring as a train that arrives on time every day, and his mood may be as dull as a station that is in disrepair without even an elevator, but this is his own choice - he did Choose, get the results you want, benevolence is also benevolence. But biologists are different. There is no choice based on reality, making ideals a castle in the air. By the way, I checked Crazy Diamond, with shadow diamond illusion (Crazy Diamond) is a phenomenon caused by the illusion of the human eye, commonly known as "crazy diamond", which means that there are many vertical arrangements, gradients, sharp angles It is a 30 to 40-degree rhombus. At first glance, each rhombus has different light and shade, but in fact, each rhombus has the same color and light and shade.
Maybe that's what it means. If you want to escape, you can't escape, and you have a big dream. If there's anything the first group can tell us, it's probably that, in a way, reality and truth are the original sins we have to bear. Is there a way to get rid of this original sin? Here may want to talk about the screenwriter and director, or the benefits of PKD himself telling the story from a sci-fi point of view. Because science fiction can provide infinite possibilities and space for discussion. It is based on the human imagination and provides us with unlimited reverie.
For example, the second group of E02 Irma and E05 Sarah, I don't want to believe that Irma died on a lonely and cold planet that I forgot its name. We are all willing to believe that the truth of the male protagonist's life is false, they Finally returned to his hometown. As for Sarah. We still have no way or qualification to evaluate whether a person's life is good or bad. Moreover, the first group tells us that reality is the original sin for escapists. We can create a beautiful life, but do we deserve to live in that kind of beauty? I can say with certainty that Sarah is not wrong about what she's been through. Everything she got came through her own efforts, and she deserved it. But she herself longed for guilt and repentance to assuage the apprehension that she had survived and lived well. If it's a trickle, damming and diversion can be cheerful; however, Sarah can only be overwhelmed by the torrent of guilt.
It can only be said that the reality is sometimes unbearable for life; in other words, human nature can sigh. As for the masked man, I think it was the best episode so far. The story is complete and tight, and it's as unfinished as an egg sandwich. The depth of the exploration of the truth is beyond the reach of the later episodes, and it can even be concluded as a conclusion. From the perspective of ordinary people, their rejection of mind reading is understandable. After all, humans have absolute autonomy over their own spiritual realm. Even if it is the truth that can no longer be true, no one should spy without permission for any reason. This is starting from the truth itself and discussing the attribution of the truth. The truth of history may belong to the people, but the truth of the individual belongs only to the individual. Because independent thinking is one of the hallmarks of who we are. Ordinary people should resist the act of reading minds, not the ability to read minds. It is a pity that ordinary people are innocent, but they are guilty. We do not resist prejudice and despise the truth, but we resist differences that are not illegal and controllable.
Humanity is pathetic.
It is all of us who need to bear reality and face it properly. In personal relationships, the relationship between sincerity and truth is dialectical. Love cannot be built on sweeping emotions and life. In the first episode, if the male protagonist starts out with an unobstructed view of the river where the female protagonist often sees his childhood fishing, then they cannot fall in love. In love, there may be half-coverage and half-heartedness, and life also needs surprises and freshness, but sincerity is the premise of establishing all relationships. The insincereness of the male lead makes their love crumbling. Having said a lot, I think the director's attitude towards the truth is clear: we should have the same determination as a saint to the truth that should be explored, no matter how painful and unacceptable it is.
Kind of like a Möbius ring. Hey, science fiction. We use science fiction to imagine infinite possibilities, and deduce joys and sorrows in various possibilities, and the most important thing is that among so many possibilities, what comes and goes is the discussion of human nature. Because we don't have a VR life, we don't have 392 years to search, and we can't easily turn ourselves into a lunatic who doesn't care. Let's face the truth.
