All great works describe the conflict between the times and the individual, which I used to define with my own shallow knowledge. But now I don't think so. I personally think that all great works use the conflict between the times and individuals to highlight human nature.
Yes, the core is human nature.
(This paragraph is so pretentious, everyone will ignore it.)
1. Two years ago in Black Mirror,
Liu Laosi (hey, his appearance rate is very high recently) recommended me a British drama - "Black Mirror", it's really rare that he Also watch dramas. At that time, I was fascinated by various technological frontiers, and I happened to be studying psychology for autonomy. Therefore, it has become one of the few film and television dramas that touched me from the spiritual core.
"Black Mirror" describes the dilemma facing humanity as society is further transformed by technology.
In 2014's "Christmas Special", some daily descriptions of the future have become accustomed to people. For example: fully transparent display screens, glasses with data display, chips implanted in the brain, full-function home equipment, etc.
2.
We don’t need to talk about the basic settings of setting the world view. The core conflict of this drama is based on two basic settings:
1. People’s eyeballs are implanted with “Z eyes”;
2. People can control their own brains Make backups. .
As with all science fiction, these two settings are unremarkable, and we almost envision these coming to fruition in the near future.
However, the wonderful is always the unfolding after the basic setting: the
Z-eye creates the shielding technology, and the backup forms the artificial intelligence.
3. "Block"
the person you love is right in front of you, but because he blocks you, you can only see real-time dynamic mosaic silhouettes of real people, and even photos are only mosaics.
"Shielding" is far more terrifying than "death" and "forgetting". The separation of life and death, while destroying the possibility of communication, can inspire fantasies. Fantasy is an indispensable anaesthetic. Although forgetting is quite sad, at least the person concerned will not be tortured in the pain of missing. There is only shielding, there is no possibility of cutting off communication, so you are always tormented by the collision and tension between thoughts and reality. Out of sight and out of reach, I want to let go, but I am always on guard. Gives you hope but keeps despairing. Not accepted, not forgiven.
"The price of technological development" - the male protagonist laughed at himself.
If you reject someone, block him, even if it makes him suffer.
4. "Backup"
Regarding artificial intelligence, this is a complicated topic. Back up your own brain into a chip, and let this chip sit and do boring things day and night. And this chip is me.
Why am I myself? because of my thoughts. All my differences are because of my thoughts (oh, I haven't read a philosophy book, I really can't find an argument for this). So if this chip has all the backups of my brain, how is it different from me? Since there is no difference with me, I will push this created me into the control room of the smart home and never escape. Is it a crime and betrayal of myself?
I soon overturned this view. The virtual world time in the play can be adjusted arbitrarily, one minute becomes three weeks, one minute becomes six months or even one minute becomes one thousand years. If this virtual backup is really me, how much "I" can learn in the virtual world. And in fact it is not. Therefore, a backup is just a backup. It is just the sum of the data taken out of my brain. I have feelings but I can't develop feelings, I have knowledge but I can't learn knowledge, I can communicate but stop at communication.
Will such a semi-finished me be pushed into a state of emptiness beyond redemption, can I accept it?
Well, it's a matter of opinion. But I still can't bear to treat the first half of my life like this.
In the world in the play, the heroine puts the backup in the control room for her own convenience-she doesn't think the backup is herself.
In order to punish the criminal, the police changed the virtual world of the suspect's backup to one minute and a thousand years - they think that punishing the backup is to punish the suspect.
In my favor, it is recognized that the backup is not me;
in my favor, it is recognized that the backup is me.
5. CONCLUSION
From start to finish, we treat the world the way we like it.
Technology is advancing, only selfishness remains unchanged.
How ironic.
Attachment: Comprehensive spoiler for "Black Mirror (Christmas Special)"
1. Because of the implantation of "Z-eye", we can share what we see with our companions in real time through "connecting visual communication devices". and make online calls. This is where the first story begins. A's sideline - helping people pick up girls.
2. After the deeds were revealed, A's wife "shielded" her (through "Z eye"), and the two could not communicate with each other (the voice was blurred), could not see (real-time real-time coding), and could not communicate.
3. A's main business is to help people set up artificial intelligence for their families - brain backup. Let it control all smart homes, and the owner is freed from all the daily chores. The so-called setting is to let this "backup" do nothing in the virtual machine for six months. Although it is a code-level backup, it has all the emotions of people after all. After being driven crazy by boredom, I am willing to do these boring daily chores.
4. B's wife was pregnant and did not want to give birth. After the two quarreled, the wife blocked him. He secretly guarded her for four years, and every Christmas, he went to the mosaic silhouette of his wife and children (shielding reproductive inheritance). The accidental death of his wife makes the shield disappear, and B goes to find the child again, only to find that the daughter has an Asian face - his colleague is Asian. In a fit of rage, he killed his father-in-law. The child also froze to death outside the house.
5. After A and B have been together for five years, they shared these stories with each other. The police convicted B based on these oral accounts. After B was arrested, he refused to speak, so the police used A to communicate with B's backup and knew all the crime details. Five years is only five years in the virtual world. In the real world, it is only seventy minutes.
6. The police learned of A's sideline from A's story, and determined that he was a voyeur who was blocked by humans all over the world.
