Uploading the new life is based on such a technological concept. In fact, there are many heavy philosophical and ethical topics behind it, such as life and death, the gap between the rich and the poor, love, soul and body, and so on. I thought it would be as heavy as Black Mirror, but I didn't expect the whole drama to be lighthearted and enjoyable. It can be said that it is the only science fiction drama/movie that made me look forward to the future after watching it. In that future, love seems to be unstoppable no matter what distance, time, or life and death can stop us from touching our dear ones. But like countless works in the past, the new uploader is also telling us that Technology is not a solution to all. 1. Life and death. With this technology, people seem to be able to gain eternity. Death is no longer a scary thing, it is no longer painful, cruel, and mysterious. People will no longer try their best to think about what the other side of life is; people will no longer imagine the face of death. They now know that the other side of death is a virtual hotel, and the face of the god of death is AI and data flow. The fear of death is gone, and the fear of life will naturally disappear. Just live as you like, the real world will only get worse, so let it go. So, the young mother holds the little baby, waiting to be uploaded. would rather die than live. After all, death is nothing, go there and live better. In an instant, people couldn't tell where was heaven, where was hell, what was life, and what was death?
2. The wealth gap. At first, the play was relaxed and peaceful. After death, you could live in a luxurious resort, with beautiful scenery, endless delicacies, various entertainment, butlers, waiters, and psychological counseling. Wouldn't it be fun? But slowly, a sad corner begins to unfold in front of the viewers - the 2G living area, like the bottom layer of a luxury cruise ship. At this moment, everyone pulled back to reality, "Oh, there are slums in heaven." Remember, even thinking is a luxury for the poor. How to get out of poverty? The elite and the rich chanted "God saves only those who save themselves", but perhaps God should recharge them.
Writing this, I'm starting to realize I'm wrong. I thought people in the future world were no longer afraid of death, but it wasn't. Because looking at the paradise they made, it was no different from reality, and they racked their brains to make everything in the virtual world as real as possible. Obviously already dead, have to go to the toilet, have to fart, have to sleep, have to taste the ups and downs, would rather spend more money to feel the feeling of being sick... They are afraid, very afraid . Uploading, from start to finish, is nothing but a self-deceiving lie. Socrates will probably be very angry. After all, he is a Socrates who can't even look down on reality. He must be angry. Your ideal world is actually a re-imitation of the poor. The only person who is really not afraid of death is the heroine's cancer-causing father. He doesn't believe in immortality. He believes that the person he loves is waiting for him in a "paradise" that human beings can never imagine.
