Thoughts are an army, we recruit to our minds

After reading the last person's film review, I also believe that this movie is a remake. Most people don't know it like I do, so I made a special trip to find the Arnold version after watching this. The open ending of Uncle Empire’s philosophy science fiction movie makes us wander between reality and fantasy. Zhuang Zhou Mengdie or Die Meng Zhuang Zhou


is a mediocre worker who lives in Australia, a symbol of slums. Great Britain jobs representing big cities. Although the distance between these two places is only ten minutes, the lives nurtured in these two places are worlds apart. This seemingly sci-fi scene is actually happening around us every day: I have to go to work in the Second Ring Road but live in Changping, squeeze the subway for 40 minutes every day... The life the protagonist lives is an enlarged version of this real life.

He's very busy at work, but has no progress in his career - after all, he doesn't have a "Britannia" account. All kinds of privileged and related households are ahead of him. The life that he can see every day in the big city seems to be at hand, but it has nothing to do with him at all: after get off work, he sits on the falling road, and everything is far away from him.

The huge contrast between reality and ideal makes the protagonist want to find a breakthrough to vent. By chance, he discovers Huiyi Company: a company that can directly make you change your memory. "I've never experienced it, at least imagine it once." The protagonist thought about this, so he sat on the memory drawing table like this.

The protagonist has always had an underlying fantasy: he is a super agent, and sometimes he even has dreams about it at night. So he hoped that Huiyi Company would give him a fantasy of an agent. The technology of Huiyi Company is very good, and the protagonist "seamlessly" enters the virtual memory designed for him. However, this technique is so "good" that the protagonist, who has been suppressed for a long time, is completely immersed in it, and because he himself has many delusions about himself as an agent, he is completely immersed in the imagery company's service. Among the false memories he created.

In reality, people are still trying to pull it back, and even let the information of his good friend enter the protagonist's dream to persuade him to return to reality. However, this memory is too real and too perfect. Compared to the same day, I go to work at 8 in the morning and get off at 6 in the evening. I often get off work overtime and see the bustling city every day. The reality of getting away from him is much better.

Wouldn't that look much better?

Life in the big city is his dream, but in reality, his dream starts and shatters every day with the start of the fall.

For more than ten years, it has never changed...

For more than ten years, dreams have been shattered every day...

So this time, he is not going to wake up...

  • Melina: Hauser, we've been looking for you.

    Doug Quaid: Don't call me... My name is Doug Quaid. I was born August 29th. All right. I was raised by my mother. She died of cancer before my 15th birthday. I married my girlfriend when I was 29!

    Melina: You were born April 29th. You were raised by your father, not your mother. He died before you were 15, but in a car crash. And believe me, you were most definitely not married.

  • Lori Quaid: You might want to give your little girlfriend a kiss goodbye. As long as she doesn't mind where those lips have been.
