In the translation version of Science Fiction World in 2014, an article "Player No. 1" was published. In the following years, the translated version was basically bought more and read less. However, "Player No. 1" was finished in the first time. The whole story is still fresh in my memory, especially for the setting of the whole award and the rules of the game, which are so ingenious and fascinating.
When I saw the video of "Ready Player One", the first thing that came to my mind was "Player No. 1", and it turned out to be the story. Moreover, Spielberg's masterpiece, the first time to see.
Movies first.
A complete film only needs to tell a clear story. Spielberg's powerful narrative ability makes this story from the future world believable and exciting.
Since the Internet era, the speed of technology development is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the ideas in science fiction films will suddenly become entities and appear around them. The year 2045 described in the film seems far away, but shadows can be found in real life. The development of science and technology can liberate human beings, and can also restrain human beings more. An "oasis" game covers everything in real life and dream life. In addition to meeting the basic needs of human beings, a person can travel in an oasis as a whole. It can be a hero, a monster, a machine, any form, in the oasis, the imagination is endless!
As a movie made for otaku, "Ready Player One" has realized all the ultimate imaginations of otaku: to become the number one player in the game, to gain the love of beautiful female netizens, and to have the greatest wealth in the real world. With so many rewards, you just need to pass the level and win the easter eggs of this game.
The protagonist Wade, whose family is poor, his parents are dead, lives in a stacked building area, and the only thing he has is a lot of free time to play games. It is such a character that finally achieved a major reversal of life and became the final winner. It is very similar to the story of an unknown boy in a martial arts novel who was born to save the entire Jianghu and become a generation of heroes, but this happened in a virtual world. , not in the arena.
Stories are like games, with levels, difficulty, and skills. The two biggest points of the film are that it creates such a virtual world. Through VI technology, you can truly feel anything that happens in the oasis, there will be touch, pain, happiness, sadness, and many realities. Skills that do not exist in life can instantly learn to dance, transform into classic game characters, and defy gravity, making them cool, dazzling, and incredible. There is no class stratification in the oasis, and no one knows whether this image is male or female, rich or poor. National boundaries are no longer obvious, wealth is no longer obvious, and sweeping the rivers and lakes can only rely on moves!
I don't play games, and I don't understand the joy that games bring to people. But the world seen in the film satisfies the fantasy of everyone in real life, and it is no wonder that so many people have sacrificed their time, energy and money for video games. When the day in the film comes, it will also be possible for humans to gain immortality, upload their minds into the game, and become gods among the electronic streams!
The movie is beautiful, beautiful and beautiful, and there is no urine point in the whole process. But the novel is more exciting and exciting, and there is no limit to imagination! The reduction degree of the film to the novel is not high. Although there are many scenes in the film that pay homage to the classic game, in general, there are still many limitations in converting the text world into the image world, so the film presents another kind of game. Game worlds and scenarios.
In the novel, first of all, the story takes Wade as the first perspective, and the world presented is a huge future society looking at the past from the bottom. The game world of Oasis is perfectly shaped in the novel, and the offline world is basically divorced from the current world structure, and it is a completely unrestrained form.
As for the story itself, it does not focus too much on love. It tells more about the game's scenes and settings, and also has a very detailed description of the sixth person's situation. The social structure and world view are relatively complete, and the development of the story. Fewer love scenes add more detail and believability, making the entire future world within reach.
Whether it's a cool movie or an imaginative novel, they all have a purpose: No matter how high-tech or perfect games are, they are nothing compared to the communication and contact between people. No matter how wonderful the game is, it can't be compared to a delicious dinner or a sweet first kiss. So, enjoy the reality, enjoy the moment, this is the essence of the whole story!
