Human nature is inherently good or inherently evil? I tend to think that the good and evil of human nature are only between one thought, and all the internal driving forces of behavior are our instincts as human beings. When evil thoughts overwhelm good thoughts and become evil, when good thoughts overwhelm evil thoughts, it is good. I always wonder whether it's just that people are in adversity or unhappy that they want to convey goodwill. If society develops to the point where you can be satisfied as an individual at the material level, what will humanity become? Will it really become a paradise "utopia" for mankind? The movie "Western World" tells the story of the male protagonist meeting a friend on vacation and coming to a holiday park full of robots. This holiday park consists of the "Medieval Paradise" and the "Ancient Roman Paradise". These three parks together form the "Delos" Paradise. Why did you choose these three periods? These are the chaotic times of regime change and moral decay. Visitors to the park are all to satisfy the animality hidden deep in their hearts. The slaughter and adultery of humanoid robots provide these people with strong sensory stimulation. In the meantime, the male protagonist faced the disgust of the robot, and even felt that it was a play house. Until the male protagonist killed the so-called villain cowboy robot and call girl robot, he finally felt that "this place is simply too interesting!". What does this world satisfy? Killing and sexual desire. The hero of the movie and his friends are just like the gods of this world, killing and fighting, doing everything.
Although this film does not explain the degree of world development. But I believe that when robots develop to the premise that they are almost mixed with real people, the productivity must be very high.
With the continuous development of productivity and the full satisfaction of human material requirements, what is left? Is it ethical compliance? Is it perseverance to one's own sentiments? Or in other words, when human beings have material conditions that can be met just like God, will human beings still be constrained by moral codes? The movie seems to point to a chilling answer. Killing and sexual desire... In a scene in front of the movie, a tourist confidently said that I killed 8 robots. The reporter asked him, do you think this is good? The tourists’ faces are instantly ashamed, but are they robots? Tourists hope that they kill real people, (otherwise, where is the meaning of infinite simulation of real people?), but the rational sense of morality tells tourists that they kill only robots, just simply enjoy a service. Think of it, today's hottest games almost all point to killing. Let’s talk about a mobile game that is relatively popular recently---Honor of Kings. A friend of mine said that if he wants to abuse food, why not fight AI (artificial intelligence)? Yes, torture AI can no longer meet the psychological needs of players. I was thinking, what if one day the development of science and technology continues to kill robots and cannot meet the psychological needs of "tourists"...
I have watched an animation before-"The Journey of Chino". There is an episode about two highly developed big countries. They have been vendettas against each other for many years. For one year, the leaders of the two sides negotiated and found a small country to start each other. In war, whoever kills many people is the victor, so as to avoid deepening the hatred between the two powers.
Why must there be killing? The animation did not say. The movie did not say, but the tourists, including the male protagonist who refused at the beginning, showed ecstasy behind. Is this the so-called "original sin"?
As for sexual desire, I feel that it is not that there is no market, but that the market directly denies this subject matter. (See various pop-up games for details...)
Some people say that the main purpose of Western World is to relieve tourists from pressure. But on the other hand, killing and sexual desire can bring relief to tourists. Why do humans have to use such extreme and dark ways to release pressure?
Human nature is good and evil, debating for a thousand years? I can't give an answer either. I am also like a film director, fearing the favorite "relaxation way" of mankind...
I have seen a lot of "anti-technology" movies made in the United States. But I think the old movies from 1973 have a more direct impact on me. There are not so many complicated plots, not so many impact special effects, and some just give you the most direct stories and conflicts, as well as endless thinking behind the audience. Some people say that I am old, now that my work and life are so busy, who has time to think with you? Isn't it interesting to watch a special effects popcorn movie? I just want to say, then I still find it more interesting to sleep.
