"Contains a lot of personal assumptions and immature conjectures, don't scold if you don't like it"
Recently, I have been very mourning for various reasons, and the spring has not improved. So I was very sad and finished watching the "Futurology Conference" in a quarantine hotel in a foreign land. The first half was painful, and the second half was drug addiction.
In a sense, the film discusses the issues and the professional counterparts, so from the beginning to the end, I felt that every cell in my body was eager to write this film review, but when the subtitles were scrolled, I couldn’t say anything. .
In the progress of science and technology, I know that one day movies will "evolve" or "change". The products of this technology have been innovating since the beginning, black and white silent, to naked-eye 3D, and now 4D, IMAX, Dolby and other forms. . The so-called better experience that people are pursuing is actually a more novel feeling: when ordinary flat films cannot satisfy the audience, new ways must appear to entertain everyone; the same is true for the innovation of film type, structure and content, This is also why anti-genre films are particularly popular in recent years, because we are used to seeing genre films for a long time.
What if one day, the film developed into a product that even a series of main creators such as actors, directors, and photographers do not need? Celebrities have fallen victim to over-entertainment, and the public has fallen into a vicious circle of over-consumption, becoming "people who want to be", eating TA, drinking TA, spending at will, and spurning at will. In the film, there is an interview about "Robin" and the movie "3R", which talks about the exploitation of robots by people, and it is said that this sci-fi film is actually a documentary. Isn't the development of the world today the same? Entertainment has become the mainstream, all information and all fields have been entertained, and one by one, people have begun to extract the entertainment value of others, or become the object of extraction. This madness and dissatisfaction may one day lead us to the future of movies.
The advent of film and television winter is very real in this situation. The practice of a director's work jumping to the cinema line and going directly online seems to be an improvement, a challenge to the window period, but also a challenge to the basic respect and compensation established by the traditional system and the lack of creators. Then if one day, it is not just editing, art, publicity, field affairs, etc. that the audience does not know enough to be exploited, but first-class big stars, people will still be so fanatical about idols, or Speak up for your idol? Will this be a good thing, or just another flaw that technology has mapped out?
Or, outside the film industry, all technological progress cannot be predicted whether it is good or bad. There are endless technologies that can make people live more and more lazy. Although I personally have a big opposition to AI (personal idea, don’t like it if you don’t like it), but I have to admit that its current role is great. But when people's cognition of physical chemistry exceeds our own, just like the knowledge innovation of people 50 or 100 years ago, what will this road look like? We will lose our current understanding of the world. Cognitive? Will you forget the existence of the sun and moon galaxies, transcend the dimension of time and sound, and accept or abandon yourself? None of us are sure. There is only one thing that is certain, that is, like the heroine in the film, those who are eliminated will be forever forgotten, abandoned, and will no longer be remembered because they have no use value.
In the end, fortunately Paramount can't stand up now (no
