my other dimension

On the last night of 2007, I watched the time-travel movie "Hackers of Different Dimension", also known as "The Thirteenth Floor". Less than half an hour after the movie ended, I also traveled from 2007 to 2008. This movie was born at the same time as "The Matrix" in 1999, which is really unexpected. It and "The Matrix", in the end who plagiarized whose ideas, fans have been arguing about this but it is difficult to come to a conclusion. But as I see it, with the Matrix's well-known popularity and super-luxurious production, it would be suicidal to try to copy it, unless the creator is an idiot. Therefore, the creative plagiarism of "The Matrix" or "The Matrix" or the collision of the two is more likely. And for me personally, I like The Matrix more than The Matrix. "The Matrix" ended up on the old road of saving the world, and it later became more of an action blockbuster than a sci-fi movie. In "The Hackers of Different Dimension", you can't find the enemy in the end, you can't find the truth, there is no justice or evil, and you can't even be sure whether there is a real world and yourself. "The Matrix 1" tries to find a real world, and "The Matrix 1" tells you that there is no real world. From this point of view, "The Matrix 1" in 1999 is far better than the "Matrix 1" of that year. "Go far. These two films are actually two flowers under the same idea, like Einstein's theory of relativity and the violin. Although his violin is not known for relativity by any means. "On the thirteenth floor of a building, scientists Douglas Hall and Hannon Fuller used a computer to simulate a realistic Los Angeles in 1937. They could enter this virtual world through a computer and experience life in 1937 and the himself. One night, Fuller was killed, and he left Hall a clue about the murderer in the virtual world of 1937. In order to find out the truth, Hall followed the clue left by Fuller to the virtual world When he got closer and closer to the truth, he was shocked..." If one day, you find yourself living in a virtual world, a code in a computer program, you will disappear as soon as the plug is pulled. How will you be? The first reaction must be as creepy as the bartender in the movie in 1937, right? But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this proposition is all too familiar to us. For example, the six realms of reincarnation in Buddhism, for example, life is an illusion, for example, life is like a play, for example, a dream of yellow lilies. So, what's there to panic about, if we already live in a different dimension: when you leave a city to live in a new city, when you say goodbye to a person and meet a new person , graduation, job-hopping, losing relatives, every turn of the long river, you are actually pulling one plug after another. Just like when I unplugged Shanghai and came to Beijing, all the seemingly important and complicated people and things I had to deal with in Shanghai disappeared in an instant. In the movie, ignorance is a blessing. But looking at the real world, there are so many people who are addicted to a gain and loss, fight like a beast every day for an office position, and feel depressed for a lifetime, I think it is better to be the bartender who discovers the truth. good. In the movie, what the procedural manipulator didn't expect was: "No one can learn the truth in this world we designed, but you two learned it." And in my other dimension, what I learned too, The friendship and love in this world cannot be controlled and manipulated by this program, only they will not disappear when the plug is pulled. So, what's there to panic about? I can't think of a better time to see this movie, when I'm about to pull a plug again. As for whether the world I'm going back to is the real world, hehe, this movie will tell you. Happy New Year.
