In comparison, the understanding of Inception is troublesome in conceptual interpretation, whether you can understand the layer-by-layer influence of dreams, whether you can understand kick, whether you can understand lost, and whether you can understand the relationship between people who appear in dreams and subconscious feedback. After all these are easily solved, the film is accompanied by the bizarre love history of Leonardo and his wife. This film has reached the triple advanced realm of logic, emotion, reality and dream philosophy.
I've been thinking about a question when I watched the Black Empire. Real and virtual, reality and dream, matrix and human, are these the same thing?
One of the sublimations I have seen in Inception is that dreaming too much can become another kind of reality. In each of Cobb's dreams, there is his wife. It can be seen that to a large extent, there is a confrontation with his wife in his subconscious, because there are only partners, obstacles and stolen objects in the subconscious. Even if we say that COBB loves his wife so much that he can't stop thinking about it after indirectly murdering his wife, this is not the reason why his wife appeared in the dream. Cobb's feelings for his wife are more of guilt and remorse, and the root cause of the indelible image of his wife is Cobb's own belief: I killed her, and she hates me. So in the end, Cobb gave up his wife's image and jumped down a high-rise building, which is precisely a kind of recognition of his wife's real existence. It can even be asserted that in the future, Cobb's dream will never have his wife's image again.
What is a dream? The wife appears repeatedly in the dream. What is the reality, the reality is that Cobb still wants his wife to come up again and again. It's just that the woman in the dream who promised to live a peaceful life, didn't even know how paranoid and crazy she was before she died. But the fact that you love me and I love you has never changed.
The more prominent performance in The Matrix is a dialectical struggle between the real and the virtual. In the philosophy of materialism, it is said that contradiction is the unity of opposites, and the two sides of the contradiction transform into each other under certain conditions. The deep level presented by The Matrix is the mutual opposition that shuttles through multiple layers of contradictions. Here we must use the most original English to understand the film. Most of the subtitles translate Matrix as the matrix, but I think it should be translated as "matrix", which has a stronger macroscopic nature.
Lao Mo said that the matrix is a virtual world. Everyone lives in the matrix and has no real freedom. They cannot control their own lives. Their lives are completely dependent on the matrix. Let’s just understand the matrix as a society, which is completely reasonable. theory. Since people live in this world, it is impossible to do whatever they want. Few people would blame and resent laws, institutions, principles, order, social fashions, market hotspots, general opinions, and very few people would feel restricted by these things. To most people these are nothing but non-practical clauses, and the truth is that you can't help but limit yourself to the limits of what these clauses allow. Getting used to this parent substance is like a skin that is too big to be seen. Of course you wouldn't say confidently that this shell is my holy mother, but you undoubtedly depend on this shell to live your life. You can imagine what state you will be in one day to live out of this world, go to Mars, go to the moon or go to Mercury ? Even another planet like Earth that can give you a normal life cannot meet your inner needs. This is a completely different problem from leaving your home and going to a foreign country for a period of time. We feel in these invisible networks of order. Peace of mind. If we think about it, of course we can't be sure of everything in our present life, how much can be included in the category of absolute truth, how much land is a sacred place like the Zion civilization, even what we hear and see will be wrong, even our work It is reasonable to choose to veto this parent substance.
Therefore, these hackers are, in the end, the smallest and smallest part of the world who yearn for absolute freedom. They do not want to destroy the order, not to escape some dark and sinful fate, but to realize a yearning in their hearts. Like the title says. Everyone is looking for an answer, and even though you don't know what you're after, you know you want to find it. But the problem appeared again, and the traitor was the revealer of the problem. On a boat, eating mushy food all day, releasing electromagnetic waves all day to guard against squid, taking risks in one brand new time after another, and listening to Lao Mo’s orders, are these a kind of Free? You can say that this traitor has not grasped the meaning of freedom at all, but you can also say that he pursues freedom too much. I can't say that he is a scum out of the Matrix world, because those sturdy NPCs who are locked in the code are also eager to get the password of the Zion host to achieve self-liberation. In the strange world, people always uphold the Certain desires, but in different worlds, the desires that you may think are common in all areas, the incompatibility is so strong that you cannot imagine.
Perhaps only those who have been hackers, those who have broken into other people's secrets, and those who have experienced this kind of evil and joy can understand the significance of such an adventure and the significance of this search. The most important thing for them is not what results can be found, but the search itself.
Finally, I want to talk about the Prophet. I thought that the film set up a prophet to satirize this kind of fideism, but the words of the prophet really came true. Neo did die once in Lao Mo and Neo, Trinity did fall in love with the savior, and Neoy was resurrected by Trinity's love. You may have to question that when the Prophet talked to Neo, he didn't say "You are gifted but you are not the savior", but let's not forget the explanation that Mo gave Neo, the Prophet just tells you what you need. Under the circumstances of the meeting, Neo didn't think he was the savior at all, let alone believe in it. How could such a person be the savior. Yes, the Prophet did predict death, but she didn't say that this death was eternal death, because at the time of the conversation, life and death were not Neo's urgent needs, he was only suspicious and uneasy. That's how I understand the part about the Prophet's talk.
People can only know their abilities and develop self-confidence only by practicing in a field experience. Sometimes it may be unclear, the earth has a parent substance, and isn’t the existence of the prophet the embodiment of another parent substance? Any world is known because of a layer of parent substance, but it is not the one who can change and manipulate the world. matrix.
So, make an inference. Are they living in the real world now? Probably just another Matrix.
