This movie made me think the most about the free will of these "eternal sons". Maybe when you watch the movie, you will wonder why all these children who should have a youthful smile have a monotonous face, Walking with slow and heavy steps, why is the sky always so wide, as if a person or a plane is stuck in it and can never come back.
First of all, these children are "commodities" that were acquiesced by society and manufactured by companies in peacetime. They were used for war performances. Two major military bases were established by the two companies, and military wars were regularly performed. At the same time, There are also live TV broadcasts used to "painfully" remind people how close the war is and how hard-won peace is. Just think about this attribute of goods, and you can understand their limitations. These kids can live forever as long as they don't die in battle, and if they do, his body is reclaimed and infused with new memories and identities waiting for him to re-start the life of a pilot, while his flying and combat experience It is the most important part that has been preserved, the most important value expression as a war show.
At this time, I would think, can these children achieve free will, and how? The description of some episodes in the movie makes the realization of the free will of the Eternal Sons much more difficult.
The first is what the female pilot said to the male protagonist in the movie. It probably means whether you feel that the memories of yesterday are all mixed together, and your childhood memories are only vague shadows. You don’t remember where you have been before and became a pilot How many years and so on, in short, you only have the present moment, you can't grasp the feeling of time, so you can't really talk about the existence of your identity, what you have loved, what is your pursuit, etc. Because whether such a vague memory is given to you by the company, a purpose given to you, because memory is an important part of a person's existence.
The second is that death cannot become free will, because seeking death means surrendering to the company, identifying such an invincible fate, or at least escaping, and inheriting a tangled soul to the next body, you cannot truly escape from this reincarnation. , you just handed over the burden to the "next" you, which is also the reason why when the female protagonist begged the male protagonist to kill her this time, he asserted that he refused, because he did not want to continue this reincarnation, "if he can If so, before you can make a change, I hope you can see that change and prepare for it.”
From the mouth of the heroine, the important natural enemies of these Eternal Sons are spoken. You can also regard them as the "father" that these Eternal Sons cannot surpass. That is the "Teacher", which you must avoid in the air. Existence, I don't think it means how strong the mentor is. It is very likely that the setting of Eternal Son includes the rules that cannot defeat the mentor, maybe there is no way to hurt humans, can't escape from the base, etc., and also add a very important A rule of thumb is that if you don't want to do the duty of a pilot to go to war, you'll probably be dealt with the settings, etc., think carefully about whether it's very robotic.
Because I can't have long-term memories, I can only feel the real sense of survival in the battles rushing to the sky again and again. So in the movie, the company has become a god, just as human beings have become gods in nature, stepping on thousands of creatures under their feet and replacing them with any value that can serve human beings, and human beings are also challenged step by step Technology, challenges the limit, and attempts to challenge the "hand of God" that is limited to them in the fields of life and soul.
The rights of every life are obtained through struggle, and they are all obtained as battles. For example, human rights in human history, women's rights, black people's rights, etc., have been obtained through waves of bloody struggles. Rights, people in most human societies today can say that they have human rights and will not be arbitrarily obliterated by the government. Generally speaking, they have the right to control their own bodies, and they will not be said to be slaves and serve the central government. Machines, although there are still many shadows of past history in many corners of the earth, where vulnerable groups are still at the bottom of society, except for human beings, there are still many important rights that have not been well pursued, such as self-creation that they value very much. , the right to self-fulfillment. A large part of today's society is controlled by the rights of capital, and people have become part of the circulation of the vast society, but compared with the previous historical era, people's rights have been much better, and people can achieve self-realization in other ways. , self-regulation, I think the current state has reached the peak of human history, because the alienated people in the capital society are likely to return to the previous era, the value of human beings are greatly distorted, and the emptiness is full of emptiness. In many corners of society, causing shadows and changes.
What the Eternal Sons lacked was the right to control their own lives, the right to have no memories, no right to grow up, and to be filled with nothingness that was dominated by a vast purpose. So several accomplices of the male protagonist chose different paths to fight against the so-called fate. One chose to sing and laugh with adult women, and a partner who liked to fold newspapers would rush to the "mentor" without looking back. , it is very interesting that as long as the author affirms the idea of his choice, then he affirms the key point of free will, so these eternal children have the so-called self-awareness, so the idea of dying and fighting is actually It's free will.
