This movie sucks

The only explanation for this movie is at the end, and excluding the end is a bad movie! ! ! ! Remember this, his last explanation is important, don't rant about me.

If there is no last explanation, there is a very big problem with his logic. The problem is that the system is completely unreasonable. Let me analyze it below.

First of all, let me describe in general, let's call the person who dedicated 8 minutes of memory A, the person who uses his memory B, the agency C, and the bomber X. C provides technology and some information, and at the same time uses A's memory to construct an 8-minute world for B. This world is built on A's memory, and at the same time integrates B's thinking and some information of C.


But there is a big problem at this point. The problem is: In addition to what ABC knows, other objectively existing things ABC does not know, how do they reproduce? Why must the bomb be on top of that car, why can't he be in another place near there? Although the male protagonist mentioned that the explosion came to the rear, he did not know where it was for sure.


How important is enough information to us? Let's take mathematics as an example: if there is a mathematical formula AX+BX+CX=Q, if we know Q, and I tell you ABC, you can only have one answer, but if you get less information, if only Knowing A, there are many uncertain factors at this time), of course, you can say that you have crossed, and you know what the answer I want is.

Why did it take humans thousands of years to determine that the world is round, and why did it take humans thousands of years to discover that the earth revolves around the sun? Just because there is very little information, especially what we have not experienced personally, what we know is not necessarily true, but only when we have obtained a lot of information, or what we have experienced in person can exist objectively . Could Columbus say goodbye after a good night's sleep and say, "My dear, I found out that the earth is round?"

Therefore, we can say that no matter how the ABC three build the world, the fictional elements in the world they build are too large, and this is not necessarily the case in reality. To give another example, we compare the real world to a great writer, and A is the assistant of the writer. The great writer wrote a book, and it was written, but he burned the book again. At this time, BC decided to only pass ABC three. Human memory, to find books that have not been burned before, in order to copy things down, do you think it is possible? Even if he entered ABC's brain and obtained all his thoughts and memories, after all, ABC does not contain the memory of the great writer, nor the book.

As if the bomber never existed in ABC's memory and mind, why did he appear? Of course, I also admit the objective existence of the bomber in reality, but ABC does not have any information about him, why did they construct the bomber? There is a parallel world unless we explain this with the explanation at the end of the credits.

Then the problem with movies is even bigger. If you use very little information to find things that are not in memory and any information, and find your goals by experiencing the development of events, this method is wrong, and the system What logic is it based on, unless they know the existence of a parallel world from the beginning, and even know that the bomber in the parallel world is the real bomber! ! To find the criminal through deduction, why is he? Since nothing has happened, how do you know where he is going? By reasoning? If this is the case, the police will not all sit in the office, watch videos, and look at documents to find criminals.

So the biggest problem with this movie is the problem of logic, first of all, confusing the diversity of virtual situations with the singularity of real situations. At the same time, there are big logic problems in the whole film.
