What is Cyberpunk:
A branch of science fiction that has a computer or information technology theme, and often involves the disruption of social order. Cyberpunk plots these days usually revolve around the contradictions between hackers, artificial intelligence, and large corporations, set in a dystopian Earth in the not-too-distant future, rather than the outer space of early cyberpunk. Its emergence is a self-correction of science fiction's traditional neglect of information technology.
The world of cyberpunk is a dark area where every detail of human life is controlled by computer networks. Huge multinational corporations replaced the government as the center of power. The battle of isolated outsiders against a totalitarian system is a common theme in science fiction. In traditional science fiction, these systems are well-ordered and controlled by the state; in cyberpunk, however, the author shows the ugly weakness of the corporate kingdom of the state, and the endless quest for power initiated by the disillusioned with reality. Battle of Sisyphus.
"Ready Player One" expresses this anxiety very bluntly. The "Oasis" company directly rules the world, and the political and government factors are extremely compressed. It was not until the appearance of the police at the last moment that people barely knew the existence of the government; "Oasis" and reality The contrast of the world also strengthens the performance. On the one hand, it is cool and dreamy, omnipotent and omnipotent, only you can't think of it, there is no illusory world that you can't do, while real life is a stacked building with exposed steel bars and garbage flying all over the street. The hero is forced to Living in a very small space where junk cars are piled up.
The setting of the big villain in the game is very interesting, with Superman's hairstyle, and a fat version of Superman's face, with occasional red eyes flashing, yes, it is very likely that the evil perfect ruler of the DC world- - Injustice Superman. The actions of the villains also perfectly confirm the horror conjecture of cyberpunk: they are eager to own this game completely, they call it the world's largest economic lifeline, plan to place advertisements, control players, and when the heroine resists Turning them into "contract workers" with charges such as debts on the Internet is actually a prison in the future. They try to use huge funds and powerful forces to impress the players within the protagonist, and they have indeed organized a large number of people. , they are the incarnation of future totalitarianism.
Next is the director's best story expression, Hollywood classic narrative, justice defeats evil, idealism defeats reality, the protagonist counterattacks the hero from the diaosi, and has to shut the door for the bosses before collecting money, and only by kissing his girlfriend can become the hero balabala. However, Mr. Spielberg seems to be our young man in the 1980s and 1990s. I don't know how an old man can play all the games, movies, animations and other works of our two eras. It is thoroughly familiar and arranged in the story without being overwhelming. Every detail attracts the audience to the progress of the story. Even if the story mode is already extremely familiar, it still makes people feel moved and delighted.
Some film critics criticized that the choice of the villain not shooting at the end was too ideal, but combined with the previous tips, the villain has also worked in Oasis, and Injustice Superman was once the kind superman, so the choice of not shooting can also be explained. .
At the end of the story, the solution to the cyberpunk-style future is also given - restrictions. After the actor became an administrator, he made three demands:
1. The five protagonists manage the game together, rather than the protagonist alone. You can understand that it is to avoid totalitarianism and to support each other by the collectives. Although I personally think that it is better to share the game rights with each player, it is too ideal and harmonious. dog blood.
2. Not allowing the IOI Group to participate in the game process is actually a complete denial of the company's kingdom. Most cyberpunk novels have repeatedly emphasized this point and needless to say.
3. The most interesting thing is the third item. The game is closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and everyone is required to experience the real world. At this time, the camera is the male protagonist kissing the female protagonist on the sofa, reminding everyone that reality is also beautiful.
The male protagonist himself said that the third article is somewhat controversial, why is there a controversy? Wouldn't it be nice to kiss your girlfriend in reality without playing games? We still don't have an "Oasis" game in 2018, which is equivalent to closing the game every day from Monday to Sunday, isn't it okay? In fact, it is still hard to let go. On the one hand, the protagonists, the screenwriters and the directors, clearly realize that "Oasis" is too beautiful and perfect, even if the real life is extremely difficult and poor, or it is because of reality, " "Oasis" has endowed human beings with utopia and paradise in a certain sense. Since it is paradise, why not let people live in it 24 hours a day, seven days a day, because you still have a physical body, and since you still have a physical body, why not take this burden Fading away, putting consciousness into the game, and fully integrating into the "oasis" (this may be the hidden ending of holiday), in fact, it still does not work, there is no way to abandon the physical body, and you can't estimate whether you are you in the game or machine The secret service team knows about it), although most of the reality is bitter and dark, there are still concerns and happiness brought by girlfriends, family members, and friends, so there is no way, there must be two of you a week to leave heaven, take care of your burden, and experience less Poor happiness, perhaps so, people will desire and cherish heaven more.
