Death is nature's ultimate judgment on the innocence of life. From the moment when consciousness is stored and transplanted successfully, humans seem to have truly played the role of God, and formally contend with nature.
The accusation of the unfinished "Duplicate" is also too harsh, because the two final episodes also gave us the climax and tension of the group fight. The protagonist's supporting role IQ is online throughout the whole process, and the supporting role and villain that should be sacrificed are also step by step. A bento. With such a high degree of completion, after the adrenaline has soared and dropped and then soared in the length of 10 episodes, there is always a trace of desolation and itching behind the seemingly content.
Without him, it’s just that the standard Hollywood sci-fi plot cannot support the grand theme. In other words, the director did not balance the relationship between entertainment and in-depth discussion of the theme. The early stage pretends to precipitate, and the later is full of high-tempo entertainment. This is why The main reason why the score has been downgraded.
There have always been discussions about consciousness storage, download and transfer, and even Ross in "Friends" used this stalk to scare Joey's new roommate away.
More focused and serious discussion of consciousness storage as the theme. In 2009 Joss Whedon's "Doll Agents" two seasons of this theme was played out. The layout is not big, but the consciousness storage and the body's self-awareness awakening It can be regarded as a more interesting discussion and excavation.
But "Copy" puts forward a very interesting discussion direction. When consciousness storage becomes a mandatory existence in society and everyone can, the preservation of consciousness storage body (called sleeve) becomes a powerful means of stage differentiation. In other words, the maintenance costs and technology required to replace the storage body allow the rich to continue indefinitely, and the wealth can be accumulated indefinitely, and the entire family will not fall in the river of time because of the death of an elite’s life; and the poor. Due to constant stress and unable to maintain a good body (such as physical fitness, age, muscle line, etc.), you can only use the next-level body.
Death is the ultimate yoke set by nature for life individuals. In front of nature, all life has its own cycle of existence equally, and the generation of consciousness preservation allows humans to be free in the yoke of death. It seems fair, but reality But it is to make resources more artificially concentrated in the wealthy class, and the polarization is more serious.
But the series (at least for the first season of the end) discussion about this stopped there, and there was no further discussion on the relationship between humans' breakthrough death and nature, and the resulting class division completely became the plot advancement. In the background board of the movie, the contradiction between the repeated implantation of consciousness and the self-consciousness of the body is also directly used to lightly describe it in a sentence of the collection. In the first five episodes, the envoy interstellar warrior resistance army was annihilated in the first battle. Be worthy of the almost mythical legends before...
The role setting itself is not particularly brilliant. The only interesting one is Poe, the curator of the Crow Hotel with AI, but it is limited to only a few lines to point out the relationship between AI and humans. And it's still an old topic.
But setting aside the setting of science fiction, "Copy", as a suspense plot type of work, is definitely doing its homework.
I thought it was the resurrection of the Envoy star warrior and the conflict between the upper and lower classes. In the end, it turned out to be a ecstasy set by a sister who is obsessed with his brother. It is a complete family ethics drama, and even the title seems to have mysterious meaning. The Hanshou figure eight snake is just a relic left by my mother (I went there).
Although the sister played by Dichen Lachman is neurotic, she is the one with the most real feelings and the most sparkling performance in all settings. Others include the male protagonist Tacheshi and the AI hotel owner Poe, Envoy's mythical star warrior Quellcrist, and the pig teammate. Vermon, and even the female lead police officer Kristin, the interaction and feelings between them can be described by plastic. The protagonist's bed scene is also very blunt, not as hot as the one between the protagonist Tacheshi and the lady Miriam.
Coincidentally, Dichen Lachman is also a very important role in "Doll Agent".
I haven't read the trilogy of the original novel. I hope that many of the clues and character backgrounds mentioned above will be further developed in the second and third books.
