Maybe in another life

A movie like this is great. Indeed, when I watched it, there was a sense of deja vu, as if I had seen this movie in the past, or maybe as the movie said: maybe in another life. Is there an end to our world? Will there be the end of the world beyond the sea of ​​stars?

After reading it, I naturally think of Matrix. Both movies take the grand and virtual world as the theme of the whole movie. Of course, until now, Matrix has not been able to fully comprehend its deep meaning. In my humble opinion, it probably tells about a virtual world created by machine life using the human body as an energy source. This movie is a virtual world created by human beings, and the characters in the world are just simulations of electronic components.

Descartes in the opening credits: I think, therefore i am, we are all familiar with Chinese, Descartes's Cogito think, therefore I am. The textbooks of the University's Ma and Philosophy courses are often used as the object of criticism of materialism. One can imagine how absolute and conceited that is. Even Marx himself regarded the world as materialism or idealism as the basic question of philosophy, but why insisted that he was right when there was no possibility that he was wrong

? During the movie, I kept thinking, if one day we find the end of the world by ourselves, when we also stand at the end of the world and stare at the stillness and determination in the distance, how will we react? Sophie "The World" said that maybe we are all rabbits conjured by magicians. If one day the rabbit gets out of the magician's cage, maybe that will be the moment when the truth will be revealed.

    Designing a simulated world is like having a baby and creating a work of art. In the early stage, you feed it and guide it. When it is mature and independent, you should not use it, destroy it, and you have no way to control it. In other words, why do people become grotesque when they have rights? In this way, many leaders may be relatively "normal"

    The concept is good. It's just a bit simple. Pretty good-looking
