The number of words is too high, so I have to write a movie review looool

Oh, this is too good to see, what have I missed all these years (can't blame me, I was 1 when it came out)? Watching the 20th anniversary 4k re-release on the big screen was completely dumbfounded, as if watching it at the same time 10 sci-fi action movies? Young Keanu Reeves and Carrie are too stylish! I also want to be kissed by Carrie? The film was made before the millennium, and although the lines always say "don't be afraid to change", the existence of such a film (similar to "Angels in America") still reflects people's beliefs about the future at that time The fear of - freedom is war, happiness is self-deception, the environment is deteriorating, technology overrides human beings, totalitarian, brain in a vat, utilitarianism overrides humanity etc., science fiction films after the millennium have not been able to create more novel concepts. The pure white computer simulation reminds me of "Black Mirror", the red pill and the blue pill. The protagonist hangs in the simulation and comes back to life (this is not what "Sword Art Online" is) Looking back from 2019, this movie is really a milestone ?

In the 21st century, we should actually believe that we are living in simulation more than any previous era, because how can you prove that you're not??? Everyone holds a black box in their hands every day to poke and poke, the movie More and more it has become an empty shell supported by commercial capital. It is difficult for art to bring forth new ideas, and literature has a feeling of being written all over... Social media has made people homogenized. Looking around, they are all repeaters, and high-level people seem to be Technological manipulation is the same...(. At this time, you have to sigh sincerely that humans are not good, and gradually turn yourself into cancer. What can I say. But I think that humans are not good, and I can't accept the AI ​​we created to rule the world, because (I think ) Earth should belong to animals, hey.

In fact, I have seen this movie. I am 13 years old, and I basically have no ability to think. I have to watch subtitles if I can't keep up with English. At that time, the network was very stuck. It is estimated that not only the subtitles on the screen were mistranslated, but the action scenes became very unpleasant because of the low network speed. It's a millennial memory. Nothing can restore the feeling of "the movie seems to have just been released" more than the big screen 4k re-screening, I woo woo woo woo.
