Responding to Humanity

In fact, from a simple level, I think this film is actually a story of a real person versus a game to reflect the dark side of the hearts of some modern online game players or most people. The scene of the area and the way of changing the situation controlled by the real player compares the desires of some people that cannot be realized in real life, which can be satisfied in the game. For example, the black man in the film said when talking to the boy: This is just a game , without kabel you are nothing. The boy wants to win, which he may not be able to achieve in real life, but in the game interface. I think, whether it is the bloody scene in a real-life confrontation game similar to CS, or a large-scale, heavy-handed shot in a real-life game similar to The Sims, it can reflect the effects of modern social network games on people's mind and body. Some potential hazards also reflect the indifference of human nature. It is possible that these game scenes will develop the dark side of your heart, and it may be possible to expand it and even realize it in daily life. I think from this point of view, this movie is very good. Moreover, the visual effects of the shooting scenes are already very good, so that the viewers can feel as if they are playing in the game interface. The shooting angles, costumes, and scenes are all very good.
But there is one shortcoming, that is, the ending feels a little perfunctory. But overall it's good.
When watching a film, not only focus on visual effects, but more on what the director wants to tell people, or his inner understanding, attitude and evaluation of society or human nature that he wants to show. I think it is very easy to see the inner world of people from this film.

Gamer quotes

  • Upgrade Guard: Who aims?

    Kable: What?

    Upgrade Guard: Who aims? The player or the slayer?

    Kable: I'm the hand. Someone, somewhere else is the eye.

    Upgrade Guard: That's tripped out, man.

    Kable: Sometimes, they take over completely. Move you around like a robot. But that don't work so good.

    Upgrade Guard: Why not?

    Kable: The delay.

    Upgrade Guard: Right, the "ping," they talk about that. The time it takes for the Slayer to respond to the player's commands.

    Kable: Whatever they call it, when you're in the game, a slice of a second is the difference between living and dying. When that trigger pulls... it's just me.

  • Hackman: [singing] I've got no strings, so I have fun. I'm not tied up to anyone. They got strings, but you can see, there are no strings on me.
