I watched this movie many years ago. After watching it, in addition to the initial shock, it also caused a lot of thinking. I pondered it unconsciously, and I always felt a little awkward.
At first I thought everyone was the same and thought it was a very good science fiction movie with an advanced concept. Compared with "The Matrix" released in the same year, it is only slightly weak in the gorgeous special effects and the wonderful action scenes. But as far as the presentation of its sci-fi concept is concerned, I think it is more like "The Matrix" than "The Matrix", but it is just a conversion of normal consciousness, so it should be better to behave normally. After all, whether it can be called a classic as a sci-fi film is reflected in whether its advanced foresight can be confirmed by technology many years later. However, there are still some contradictions in the sci-fi plot that was originally considered to be strictly logical. The biggest one is that when the consciousness of the carrier is covered and the body dies, the loaded consciousness dies, which is understandable, but the consciousness of the covered carrier can be traced back to the body, which I don’t quite understand. .
After struggling for a long time, I can't figure it out. I can only find reasons for the screenwriter and director. I also think that many other film reviews have mentioned that this is actually a love movie. This kind of plot setting is actually to sublimate the theme and express love. great. Then I wondered again, maybe it's my personal prejudice, a hard sci-fi movie, such a serious black atmosphere, you finally said that we are here to show the beauty and greatness of love. I can't accept it. Where is the sublimation theme? Is this weakening the movie? This is just like the two superheroes in the "Bat Super War" that were released some time ago, for their lifelong beliefs and for the future of the entire earth's human beings, when they suddenly died because of "Your mother and My mother has a name, so let's get on with it." The reason for this is to shake hands and agree to the outside world, and I almost swear at the movie theater. Besides, is this really celebrating love? In my opinion not, this film finally reflects the discussion of human nature. Just like the phrase "I think, therefore I am" quoted at the beginning of the film, the first thing the film wants to discuss with us is what is the criterion for being a "human", whether it is a body that must have real physiological functions, or is it as long as there is an independent The consciousness that freedom can be happy, sad and happy is enough, obviously this movie is biased towards the latter. And through the heroine's husband and the heroine, two theories are conveyed - (1) when human nature is not bound by morality and law, its selfish possessiveness and savage violent tendencies will expand (2) no matter what Under the circumstances, human nature is constantly pursuing the truth, goodness, beauty and pure love. Well, if anyone agrees, I would like to remind you that these two points are not contradictory, that is to say, the heroine's husband and heroine are not opposed to good and evil. The husband pursues his own desires in the virtual world created by himself - controlling everything with supreme power, and the heroine is also pursuing her own desires - a perfect husband. So when both parties realize that their desires are not being met (wife is unfaithful vs husband is imperfect), both parties have the idea of killing each other, and the heroine is far more clever than her husband (so this software really Was it her husband who did it?), using the knife to kill people without any blood, and to counterattack with a strong attitude of the weak to achieve the goal. So is this love? Recalling the news I saw some time ago, a Japanese mother stabbed her son more than a dozen times "because he has changed, he is not the child in my mind." If this is the so-called love, then I don't want it.
