    The reflective consciousness is greater than the formal consciousness, so in fact, the reversal of the entire structure is still relatively blunt, and the ending is "are we still playing games?", throwing this illusoryness directly. Cronenberg's bad taste has never been...

    The theme is very interesting. Today, when the somatosensory game is becoming more and more perfect, it may really blur the boundary between the game and reality. When the plot is so outrageous that it is about to get out of control, the finishing touch is worth thinking about. However, many disgusting shots can actually be...

    It turns out that the multi-layered dream nesting has been played by Cronenberg in the last century, including the time difference. The couples can clearly distinguish the real and the illusory, but the others seem to be really numb. The so-called game addiction kills people, literally. Umbilical cords, chrysanthemum-like objects, scenes from churches, Chinese restaurants, teeth and other images symbolize and ridicule many things. The director's always heavy taste, sticky, dirty, with a sense...

    The forward-looking is very high, but it has not become a benchmark and a classic because of its obvious shortcomings. For example, the logic of the character's action line is not clear, the coherence of the plot is insufficient, and the suspense is forcibly created, which is almost seen by the question...

    In view of the filming in the 1990s, the idea is commendable, but the acting skills~~~~ deformed amphibians are too B-class~~~ and the design of the socket, I can't help thinking about...

    The body is occupied by the game and the space is dominated by the mind // Sigmund Bowman's point of view on Baudrillard's simulacra There is no longer any way to find illusions from reality, or to discern what is real and what is false. Let alone find any way out of this predicament." "Simulations never hide the truth—the truth is there. Concealing nothingness, simulacrum is real." Edward Sawyer. The Third Space [M].p302-304 // Cronenberg is...

    I don't understand the German version very well, but it seems to be fine. Cronenberg is probably the worst director...

    real and virtual

    The theme of this movie is actually very simple, that the player is affected in real life after a series of virtual and real killing game experiences, and becomes numb to killing. This ending is not difficult to understand, can they not distinguish reality, maybe it is, but it may also be simply...

  • Ted: [points gun at Allegra's head] Death to the demoness, Allegra Geller.

    Allegra: That's not funny.

    Ted: Sorry.

    [lowers the gun]

    Ted: But you know, I do feel the urge to kill someone here.

    Allegra: Who?

    Ted: I need to kill our waiter.

    Allegra: Oh. Well that makes sense. Um, waiter! Waiter!

    [she calls over waiter]

    Allegra: When he comes over, do it. Don't hesitate.

    Ted: But... everything in the game is so realistic, I-I don't think I really could.

    Allegra: You won't be able to stop yourself. You might as well enjoy it.

    Ted: Free will... is obviously not a big factor in this little world of ours.

    Allegra: It's like real life. There's just enough to make it interesting.

    Ted: [looking at approaching waiter] He's too nice! I won't do it.

    Chinese Waiter: What can I do to make your lunch more pleasant?

    Ted: I found this in my soup.

    [holds up gun]

    Ted: And I'm very upset.

    [shoots waiter]
