This wordless book from heaven

Why did Ash go to buy a book about the legend of King Arthur with no words?

Are there no words in the book? Then, is she reading and studying in the library to understand this unsolvable riddle? Are all the books on the shelf on her wall without words?

If the book has words, then, but why did Barto see blank paper without content? If you consider it according to normal logic, then Barto and Ash must be in two systems, virtual and reality, or different systems in the virtual. But why is Barto able to shuttle between different systems at will? Because I defeated the final Ghost? Or is Barto the ultimate terminal? Or, this bald man is just Ash's imagination?

But I firmly believe that a person must have food to live, so I firmly believe that the gray and decadent world is real.

Ash also ate biscuits at the very beginning, but why didn't there appear to be eating scenes anymore? Because of the unchanging life? Because of doubts about your own sense of existence? Because of the backs of those motionless riders who always appear in the same place at the same time? As a result, Ash is also wondering if the world she is in is also a false simulation world or her own imagination, and even wondering if she herself is just a bunch of running data? You will feel that you will never starve to death, and data will not constitute the death of a real organic life body, so even if you don’t eat, it will not die.

In fact, Ash is also skeptical. In this world where illusion and reality cannot be distinguished, Ash is not sure whether she will really starve to death, she tried her best to find evidence of her existence. Fortunately, her cute dog is still hungry for food, and her old friend Stunner keeps looking for her to cheat and eat for the sake of betraying intelligence. Food, as a necessary existence for a living body, is precisely because of the most basic physiological needs such as eating, that it can be inferred that what exists now is a living person.

But how could the dog disappear out of thin air? Obviously, when I entered the door, I carefully locked the door. After a while of cooking for the dog, the dog disappeared. Then, does this dog really exist? So, in the meeting with Stunner after the dog disappeared, he fixed on his greasy mouth that kept eating, to tell himself that this was a living person, not a vain.

But, how could the dog disappear out of thin air? how could be? Ash must have been thinking too.

Maybe, maybe, at an unknown moment, I don't know any online game, Ash has not come back long ago. When she can't confirm her own existence, who can really confirm her existence? What's more, her dog, whom she relied on to prove her existence, disappeared out of thin air without warning.

Therefore, when I arrive at the "Stage Real World" at a loss, I feel a little dazed. However, although this world is colorful, it reveals a sense of incompatibility. How can it be a dog's head as an opera performance? Where's the poster? Therefore, Ash can be so determined when shooting. No matter how dark and cruel reality is, it is still reality. No matter how beautiful the dream is, it is still a dream after all. Seeing Murphy's image suddenly disappeared, I became more convinced. This colorful color. Her world is just a dream, or maybe even the world she lives in is actually just a virtual dream.

To get the answer, you can only ask HyperTerminal, which is the Ghost that everyone talks to. However, when Ash killed the unreturned Murphy, the end of the mission did not appear, so is it the end to defeat the Ultimate Ghost? Or, in this world, after killing Ghost, in the end, it will become a Barto-like existence? Is this the meaning of Ghost's unexplained smile?

However, will it be, in fact, all of this is Ash's imagination, the real world is not decadent, and the virtual world does not exist Ghost, will it, everything, is a disturbing dream?

This is really a wordless book. The meaning of the book can only be understood by those who created the world. Those of us readers can only guess...

PS:
When Ash went to the hospital to see the lost people, there was a shot of a blonde girl in a green dress. It started at 29 minutes and 3 seconds and lasted about 29 minutes and 8 seconds. It looked a lot like Ghost.
Does this mean that Ash was actually lost in a certain online game? Or is Ash already suffering from paranoia?
In addition, the money that appears in the movie is an old version of Poland's currency that has been obsolete. Sure enough, the atmosphere of the 1940s and 50s is revealed everywhere... weirdly blending with the current high-tech digital virtual world, revealing some pan-comic atmosphere,
I personally feel that live-action animation is not as great as pure animation. The tension and expressive power of the real, always make people feel that it is not as perfect as the virtual

    Kenji Kawai's musical performance is outstanding

    This piece is definitely an underrated work! The whole film is full of metaphors, hints, and clues. Can the game-like virtual life and the self-contradiction between reality and illusion really be seen? Or is it that these two worlds are all fake at all? Murphy's blood and his disappearance, where did Ash go? And the transition between the two eras in Poland, Oshii Mamoru, you explained it to me! Although this movie is obscure, it must be said-he is cool!
