moved by that freeze

#Sourcecode# Movies involving consciousness always make people yearn for more. And with Hollywood's powerful screenwriters, such stories are wonderful and vivid. This film fictionalizes the dialectical relationship between consciousness and life and death, love and consciousness and body, which is quite philosophically interesting.

Constantly changing the direction of reality and giving freedom of choice, like the story structure of "Lola Run", is the premise for a good movie. The guilt and concern for his father, and the affection for the woman he met for the first time, showed the tragic and inhuman nature of the scientific and technological task. The exploration of death and the nature of life gives the film a heavy quality. At the moment when the long kiss was still and the laughter was frozen, I finally couldn't help crying. This is the most dignified choice for helpless individuals.

Of course, the ideological indoctrination in it cannot be ignored. American soldiers are still saving the world on the verge of death. Afghanistan represents a terrorist attack. Beneath the beautiful and humanized appearance, the hypocritical political hegemony of the Yankees is still hidden. It's like the bug that spoils a pot of soup, always lingering.

From "Inception" to "Source Code," this kind of film about consciousness gives people a legitimate reason to choose and control their lives in advance. Although it will always appear flawed due to the limitations of reality, he provides people with dreams. Making people feel less hopeless in the face of death is another solace other than religion in the age of information and technology.

Philosophically speaking, if the theory really works, the person who masters this technology will become a god, and the world will become his personal playground, manipulating dozens of dying people, constantly modifying the world to what he wants. That would be an absolute disaster for humanity. The United States wants to shape itself into such a god, so everyone must be vigilant that he is not using this technology to prevent terrorist attacks, but to create terrorist hegemony. Isn't this happening in reality?

    When I saw the male protagonist appear as a string of text on the computer screen, I almost cried.

    This is really a classic ethical issue. If one person is sacrificed to save millions of people, is it justified? The answer given by this movie is: as long as the free will of the parties decides to make such self-sacrifice, it is justified, otherwise it is unjustified.

Source Code quotes

  • Max Denoff: [telling a joke to the train passengers] Woman always mess up my last name. I was with a girl the other night and she kept calling me "Getoff." She was like, "Getoff! Getoff!" I'm like, "No, it's Denoff. Denoff." She says, "No, you're fat and you're heavy. Get off!"

    Colter Stevens: [to Goodwin] If you're reading this e-mail, then Source Code works even better than you and Dr. Rutledge imagined. You thought you were creating eight minutes of a past event, but you're not. You've created a whole new world. Goodwin, if I'm right, somewhere at the Source Code facility, you have a Captain Colter Stevens waiting to send on a mission. Promise me you'll help him. And when you do, do me a favor. Tell him everything is going to be okay.
