The beginning of the film is slowly narrated. What enters the field of vision are scenes of big technology, the extension of the human body, and the products of intelligence. As a company that is about to go public, Mike's airline clearly exists as a high-tech cutting-edge. He saw the huge profits that technology can obtain as a commodity. As a successful upper-class person, he also felt the great convenience brought by high-tech to life, so he built his home into a luxurious smart villa. The most advanced things are gathered in his home, even as small as a coffee machine. However, the high-intelligence home is not as unbreakable as he imagined. He obviously ignored the adverse effects of technology on people. Brosnan interprets the image of this businessman, a good father, and a good husband without losing his demeanor.
Ed's actor actually surprised me. He first appeared as an IT technical man. The first half of the film laid out the image of this character very well. His mask was torn off layer by layer, and he was emotionally grasped. He was very well in place, and the audience felt a little bit of his mental perversion. From his facial expressions, crazy driving and yelling, a little bit of feeling that his emotions were being accumulated, it finally triggered his revenge, privacy invasion, and everything. Technology is like an invisible hand, unlocking the secrets of life, and Mike's family seems to stand naked in the sun for people to admire. Life is insecure and even life is in the hands of others. The home built with high intelligence has become a huge prison, which is suffocating.
The way to fight against technology is to go back to the original point and eliminate all traces of privacy on the Internet. Steal those U disks without using all intelligent products. Mike has done all these things, and the invasion of a mental illness is the same. Mike won. He saved his family under Ed’s gun. When he wanted to shoot and kill the pervert, everyone I am worried about whether he will shoot, of course, including us as spectators. In the end, it was expected that he didn't shoot. It was not so much his sanity as it was inevitable. Ed can die, but technology is immortal. And it will always exist in this era, and it will continue to grow and develop.
The final ending is also the same. Mike's company went public, and a new generation of high-tech products finally appeared in front of people, and everyone was caring. Everyone is equally immersed in it. Just like each of us.
