not a good movie

1. How far are we from a future in which “agents” prevail?

The concise title explains the background of the virtual story: In a highly technological future, it is popular for people to replace themselves with a robot called an "agent" to work, learn and socialize in society. People can do everything without leaving home and connecting their consciousness with the agent through a specific device.



Such a setting is easily reminiscent of the current networked society. We use network tools such as QQ/MSN to speak for us every day, and those funny simple symbols replace our expressions; a large number of otaku men and women indulge themselves in virtual online games; We read ratings on reviews and IMDB ratings before watching movies. We buy books on the basis of excellence rather than book centers; online shopping is becoming more and more popular, we are addicted to "convenience" and lose the motivation to take risks... How far is it from a future in which "agents" prevail?


Looking at their fake expressions and smooth skin, all the people on the street are handsome guys and pretty girls, I just want to laugh. Kind of grotesque, but fun.


2. The return
of humanity The film is full of calls for the return of humanity. One is the isolation area led by the "prophet", where people who are unwilling to use "proxy robots" live together. Life there seems to be very poetic, and people have to cultivate the land; the second is the relationship between the male protagonist and his wife The relationship changes; the third is that the Doctor's emotions are out of control after the loss of his son and he tries his best to destroy the "agent". At the end of the story, people in pajamas came out of the house and saw a large number of "people" falling down on the street, their faces were all waking up from a dream. Enjoyable.


3, not a good film. The structure of the story begins to collapse at 1/2, which makes it obvious that the story cannot be justified. Although the ending of the story has a plot arrangement that draws people's hearts, it still feels like a complete story has not been explained clearly. Maybe the author wants to express too much?


After watching it with Dabao, it took a long time to figure out the plot. In fact, I don't know if it is really clear. But there are so many good movies on the hard drive, there is no time to compete with this one.


After reading it, you can be touched and enlightened. isn't it?

    Seeing the old uncle running hard is really unbearable to give two stars. The trick is nothing more than going back to the game between the mind and the body. In the eyes of those of us who are in our twenties...
