In the second half of 2016, an HBO drama was born and received rave reviews from major public accounts, so I had a lot of grass in my heart, and I couldn't care about the pros and cons of the version. I just grabbed a version and didn't expect it to be the first I didn't see it in the episode, so I watched two episodes and fell asleep several times. Some supervisors continued to watch because they were afraid of sleeping more fragrantly. a legacy so bite the bullet and look again
I didn't expect it to be out of control
In the distant future, two doctors created a park with the theme of the American West. In the park, all kinds of characters are robots that look exactly like humans. They are created by the team of doctors according to different scripts and live in the park according to their own scripts. Tourists from all walks of life come to West Park at high cost to kill and play with robots that are no different from humans. Enjoy the excitement and pleasure brought by primitive impulses, but robots can't resist and can only be returned when they are killed or have problems. The Park Command Center is repaired, erased and put back into place. The Dr. Park team and the park's investors are constantly monitoring and managing the robotic gods who dominate their destiny.
This kind of western world sounds so cool, as if it has reached the paradise of humans. Humans can play angels or devils, and poor robots can only be enslaved, killed and consumed. However, this is not the case with the writer and director. Filling in the original procrastination, too many main lines, chaotic non-linear narratives, all become wonderful When it is not the paradise of humans, but the evolution laboratory of robots, I can't help but silently raise the word Niubi from the bottom of my heart again and again.
The theoretical basis of Westworld comes from a little-known American psychologist Julian Jaynes. The only achievement in his life is a simple little book "The Collapse of the Dichotomous Mind and the Origin of Consciousness" Memory, Improvisation, Interest Self-Interest, Dichotomous Mind Bicameral Mind is the concept of the evolution of robots told by the doctor in the play. It is also the core proposition of the book, that the birth of consciousness comes from the collapse of the dual mind. To be honest, I found these on Zhihu.
"Westworld" must be a series that needs to be reloaded N times. Every time I think about the plot, my mind can drift infinitely. Humans create robots, write scripts for them, set the background, observe and manage them from the perspective of God, so are human beings themselves? Written, set, observed and managed? How incredible is it that humans evolved from paramecia to what they are today without God?
"Westworld" and the recently watched "Arrival" have led to thinking about many philosophical concepts such as consciousness, time, language and so on.
