Compared to Ghost in the Shell with similar routines, this movie is too naive.
And I think it's twisty, at least I don't believe humans would choose the kind of "agent life" described in the movie.
The agent is an advanced tool, the special place is that he can send the stimulus back to the human brain, which also led to its popularity and progress. But can it really replace human social needs? Can you completely forget that the aging self and the handsome man and beauty behind the mask may be Uncle Zhang and Aunt Wang across the street? It can deprive life of seriousness, and its existence will naturally reduce the cost of doing many things. I believe that when a cheap is not industrially relevant, it only causes regression and confusion.
A world where proxies are used everywhere has actually become an online game, and some people must use this convenience to satisfy their desires and commit crimes. In the film, it is said that there was no murder before the incident. Think about your state when you play online games, I believe there are similarities.
In addition, this divided life must lead to a large number of mental illnesses, and it is impossible to treat it as easily as you treat yourself.
If you think about this movie from this angle, it's a bit more serious. The reason for this is because it reminds me of Ghost in the Shell I watched a long time ago, and that is the most detailed and deep description of the future world I have seen. The coolest one, worthy of all the sci-fi movies to pay tribute to him.
