Dr. Rutledge is a role that cannot be ignored - a proper Bentham utilitarian, the representative of the American elite, in order to avoid the next possible disaster of the "majority", the "consent" of the military court Next, Captain Stevens, who had already sacrificed for the country, controlled part of his left brain through the source code, and forcibly repeatedly sent it into the memory parallel world of an accident victim to perform the task of finding the bomber, and rudely refused to tell him. After revealing more truth about the mission and the need to contact his father, after the captain successfully completed the mission, he ignored his promise to rest in peace, and wanted to delete his memory without authorization for the next "use".
The message from this is that the highest power of the elite in American culture is to completely "instrumentalize" those who are useful to the country in the name of patriotism, and when you have the highest technology and information, you have the privilege of interpreting justice; When everyone is a chess piece that is always on call, and it is best to be recycled and not wasted, what is the greatest happiness of the most people?
After watching, I thought about the existence of parallel worlds for a while, and what it means to believe in the existence of parallel worlds. Probably, even if a person leaves the world we are currently in, we still have the obligation to maintain his dignity, because he/ She has not disappeared, but is continuing to spread his love in another parallel world, to redeem the regrets before her death, and to protect the people who miss him and respect him.
In the last "Eight Minutes", the comedian promised the captain to perform a tease to the passengers. As a "passer", the captain repeatedly asked Christina (deceased in this world) the meaning of the last minute of life, who wanted to travel far to practice. , through the mouth of a "friend" to tell his father what he had buried for many years... All this is shining with the light of humanity. The value of a captain's identity is more than having died once for the country, more than finding the bomber, more than the last kiss.
The three minutes after the "kiss" and the last three minutes of the film is not a continuation of the dog's tail. The captain's unexpected breakthrough of eight minutes and the "Letter from Heaven" received by Godwin just illustrate the effect of the "virtual image of time" reproduced in the source code on the present world. The real impact sees the possibility of changing human obsessions and extends it into the future.
The source code is not the power of technology to change the world, it is not a power game experiment, nor is it satisfying the adrenaline imagination of cosmic sci-fi for an hour and a half, but the truth in the depths of the universe is unfolded to human beings who love to explore. A ray of light, the world of that "everything will be alright" belief, about true redemption in the existence of self and others.
