"Avalon"-When playing a game, I want to indulge more than clearing the level

It's probably the reason why I don't play games at ordinary times, so I don't feel much when seeing real-life combat, gun battles, equipment upgrades, and so on. The downloaded version was annotated by well-wishers. For example, the shoes and pistols that appeared inexplicably when the heroine came to the real class were due to equipment upgrades. The biggest feature of the film is its color tone. The yellowish black and white tones are everywhere advertised as false, and the world in front of them is difficult to distinguish whether it is a game or a reality. The character who kept saying "Don't be fooled by appearances" finally died as a game in a world that he had always believed to be the reality, and how the heroine who tried to find the truth of the game to upgrade successfully became a mystery. . If it is not for the heroine to pursue the world behind the game, this slow-paced and lacking plot movie is really hard to stick to.

The film tells about the future world. People lose interest in everything. There is a real brain VR war game on the market. People get pleasure from killing in the game while earning money. This game currency can also be used in real life. The female warrior Ash was once a member of the invincible team "Witcher" in this game. In a certain action, it was misunderstood as a escaper and the entire team was wiped out. The leader was "lost" in the game. The highest level of the game is A-level. Legend has it that there are still SA-levels in the game, but it is very dangerous to reach this level...

Of the three worlds presented to the audience by the female warrior Ash, probably none of them is the real world. Needless to say, the world of the so-called dog feeding is probably also a virtual real world, because passers-by appear quietly on time, like mushrooms in Super Mario, and the color world announces its game attributes with the disappearance of the leader's body. I believe that in a place where the audience cannot see, there should be a real world similar to the world of dog feeding. People in this world have completely lost confidence in life, so that they are all involved in the machine, just like the human battery in The Matrix.

Even in the dog-feeding world, the hostess is struggling to find authenticity and obtain the satisfaction of life, such as raising a dog, buying colored food, watching others gulping to find the touch of life. However, the emergence of the colored world shattered all previous illusions. In this world where people can whisper, fall in love, smile, and sing, it is nothing more than programming that has been edited for a long time. The dead people will still die like shattered Lego toys, as if people were born like this.

This story is reminiscent of "Sensual Games": when connected to the game program, it appears with the real world enough to be fake, but the senses are more interesting in comparison. Because in the world of "Avalon", it is equivalent to only giving the audience the game world, just like the audience is wearing a helmet that connects the game like Ash, the whole movie is just a game, or a road to Ava The process of growing this sacred place. The director’s question is very interesting: which one is worth choosing between games that seem to be passable but impossible to pass, or games that seem to be passable but not passable?

This so-called future, where people only dare to live with violence in games, or even brain death, is unwilling to live, what is it like?

    Female protagonist: "People have the urge to take the initiative to find death." Male partner: "It's my honor to die." Lost person: "A game like reality is better than reality like a game?" In the end, there are only people who eat food. Dogs are eager to live more than any wise man. After the end of the film, Kazuno Ito took over the Hack series with a similar theme, but they parted ways with Oshii Mamoru after two decades of cooperation. Why…?

Avalon quotes

  • Ash: You're not ready yet for class A, you still have a lot of work to do in class C and B.

  • Bishop: what do you think is the best, a game you think you can finish, but never do, or a game that seems impossible to win, but isn't?
