I don't understand, I don't understand!

There are many movies that describe the interweaving of the real and virtual worlds. The more easy-to-understand one is "The Matrix", and the book is "Midnight Bell". But Avalon I completely did not understand. What is this movie trying to achieve? What does the final shot "welcome to avalon" mean?
According to the "ring" theory in "Midnight Bell", the inference is as follows:
The first inference: Assuming that the world where the heroine lands in the game mentioned at the beginning is the real world, then the order of the worlds she experiences is the real world--Avalon Virtual world (A level and below)--Avalon virtual world (SA level is also CLASS REAL level, which is the world we are in now)--Enter a higher level of Avalon virtual world.
The second inference: Assuming that the world where the heroine logs in at the beginning is a virtual world, the latter is still based on the "ring" theory, and the heroine enters a virtual world with one.
If so, what is this film trying to convey?
Is the world we live in virtual? Or what?
I don't have the eyesight to see through data streams like Neo, so I can't read the Aalon movie.
This is a film that is convoluted and lacks connotation in fact.

    Oshii Mamoru is the most underrated, the one that never falls out of the book bag, and the one that is easiest to understand. When I got to the real part, I felt that the handling was a bit low, but this did not affect the fact that this is a masterpiece! ! ! !

    This film inherits the worldview of the director Mamoru Oshii in "Air Killer": Although human society has reached the height of abolishing war in the traditional sense, the fascination with killing and adrenaline drives the young people in these two films. , Or use the body to drive the World War II propeller fighter jets to fight in the blue sky, or use those Mauser guns that exude the smell of engine oil in the cyberspace to pour firepower; whether it is set by man, background or design, the movie "Avalon" There must be a shadow of "Ghost in the Shell", and the heroine is simply a reprint of Suzi. In short, a cyberpunk masterpiece that is easily overlooked.

Avalon quotes

  • Bishop: what do you think is the best, a game you think you can finish, but never do, or a game that seems impossible to win, but isn't?

  • Ash: Is this what you wanted? For this you abandoned us all? To spend the rest of your life as a hollow shell in a hospital bed, staring at nothing?

    Murphy: How can you be so sure? Do I look like a hollow shell? Do I? Reality is only what we tell ourselves it is! That's all! I choose this one. I prefer this reality.
