After watching this movie, it is natural to suspect that South Korea's "Reality" is plagiarized. At least it is certain that "Reality" has received too much "inspiration" from this movie.
The plot of the movie is simple: a rich second generation, who doesn't do his job all day, just changes the girl next to him, and even drives people away the next day, never making an appointment for the second time. Until he met his true love (Sofia), who was actually his friend's girlfriend. Of course, in order to maintain the state of "climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix", the friend actually endured it. But before he met his true love, the girl (Noria) who finally abandoned him, took him as his true love, and stalked him more than that. In anger, he took him for a racing car. In a car accident, he was disfigured, but it seems that the doctors have nothing to do. Although he still has money, he seems to have lost his true love. Then the doctor told him that he could have plastic surgery to return to his original appearance. He seemed to have recovered everything, but found that the true love around him had become Nolia, and then he killed Nolia. The police arrested him, and during the interrogation, the psychologist agreed that he had a psychological problem, although the facts pointed to the girl he killed was always the true love.
However, suddenly someone told him that he just signed the "freezing agreement" before (that is, after death, accepting freezing, during the freezing process, in order to protect the brain, the program will set him to dream all the time, to do the dream he wants to dream. Until human beings can come back to life, until he is willing to wake up and enter a real future world). Since beating him up and disfigured, he is heartbroken, watching his true love and his best friend get in and out, he signed the agreement heartbroken and then committed suicide. Of course, as long as he is mentally prepared, he can enter the real world from the virtual world at any time. The method is to jump off the building and "die" again.
When it comes to a simple story, the movie is fine. In other words, this is just the promotion of the "Frozen Life Extension" company (in reality, such a company does exist. When I was very young, I remember reading a sci-fi cartoon about the experience of a frozen person after waking up in the future). The beauty is that the dream customization of the "freezing process" is conceived.
However, boring viewers like me will not be satisfied with such gameplay. This movie is fictional, but through this movie, we can infer what is real in the movie! Like Plato's cave metaphor.
First, is the perceived world real? Obviously not! The protagonist feels that everything is real, but the result is only in his own dream.
Second, is the emotional world real? Even if the world is like a dream, true love is hard to find. The protagonist is actually obsessed with his true love, whether in a dream or in reality. It seems that where there is true love, it is real. The problem is that when he is disfigured, true love seems to be alienated from himself (even when his face changes, the protagonist feels unacceptable to his ugly self, and naturally thinks that true love will not accept him); and in the end, the protagonist believes that he has used freezing technology. , live to 2145, true love is long dead. So, he finally faced the "fantasy" true love, hugged, turned around and left. From this point of view alone, the emotional world is not real.
Again, is the ego real? The human face is just the outside of the skin. After the disfigurement, the protagonist becomes another person. And because of that, he got involved in a murder case. Are self-will, thinking and soul the core of the body or a vassal?
Finally, is rationality real? The protagonist is a wise man who knows how to judge rationally. What is rational judgment? In fact, it is the basic method used by our mathematical arguments: for example, to establish a reliable system, to find a reference, and then to test the "self-consistency" (non-contradiction) of the system. Therefore, as soon as he felt that the people around him had changed from his true love Sophia to Nolia, he immediately looked for tests from the "photos" around him and the conversations of his friends. But what tortured him was that the true love he stole from his friend had always been Nolia. For another example, the psychologist who finally trusted him (and helped him escape) and the person in charge of the "Frozen Company" both appeared in front of him, and the person in charge told him that everything was his dream. The psychologist also loudly denied it, just because the psychologist's own existence is just the "confirmation" that the protagonist lives in reality, and the psychologist has a family and two children, which is also the "confirmation" that the psychologist exists in reality. However, in fact, "four million people disappeared in an instant" outside.
In the end, is the practice real? We can believe that "existence is reality", "experience is reality" and "experience is reality". But in fact, this is also not reliable. Because the movie actually has an extreme possibility. Although what we have seen, the first part is in line with reality (playboy is disfigured, frustrated in love, and chooses to commit suicide), the latter part is contradictory (everything the protagonist experiences is confusing and illogical). But in fact, there is still a possibility of unity: everything is an "illusion" created by the protagonist's friend. Because as a friend of the protagonist, he actually has an absolute motive: to snatch his property. So what to do is to ask him to commit suicide. From the beginning, he deliberately sent beautiful women to his side, but because the protagonist keeps changing girlfriends, there is no way to get started. So, not only did he send out his sweetheart, but also caused a car accident and ruined the protagonist's appearance, but the protagonist did not die. Then a murder case was made, and the protagonist was thrown into confusion (in fact, he only needed to change the photo and change his girlfriend, especially when Sophia and Nolia were his people), and wanted him to commit suicide. But I didn't expect that the protagonist just accidentally killed Nolia, so troublesome, because no matter if he went to prison or a mental hospital, he had no way to seize the property, so he thought of a way to bribe a psychological appraisal expert to perform a play, let The protagonist commits suicide by jumping off the building. In this way, the protagonist's "real experience" (practice) is nothing more than his "deception". Because the film actually left a loophole intentionally or unintentionally. When the person in charge explained the situation to the protagonist, he described two times when the protagonist's brain entered a dream state (interconnection): 1. Do you remember the day in the nightclub? When you fall asleep on the sidewalk that night, the company interconnects you. 2. The doctor has never been able to perform plastic surgery for you. You wake up in the street, dizzy, and lock yourself at home for several months, until one day you hear us, you come to our company, sign a contract, and then... You committed suicide. Obviously, this time difference is at least a few months. Because the English subtitles cannot be found, there is no way to further test. But the possibility of this "hiding the sky and crossing the sea" still exists!
So what is real?
Movies are just movies, and life is just life. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is emptiness again. 2019-10-27
