God doesn't play with us

This kind of film must be "overread". For example, a hero's interpretation based entirely on the emotions of men and women is novel, but I don't agree with it. In fact, to put it simply, this film describes the world from an idealistic perspective.

We can all call ourselves "9". Because in a way, the world can be said to be an illusion created by our consciousness. The world may or may not exist outside of our conscious perception, but it has no meaning to us and has no effect, so it is meaningless to discuss the world outside of consciousness, and therefore it does not exist. Very tongue-in-cheek? OK, go and read the book "A Brief History of Time". :)

Going back to the movie, God Ryan experiences life in a world he created, which is equivalent to a program madman playing RPG in a game he made. The filmmakers were afraid that the audience would not understand, so they pointed out this metaphor in the third section. Originally, God and his old man had been having fun for the past 4,000 years, but in the end, the situation started to get out of control. First, Ryan encounters himself in different dimensions from time to time. Saw your other characters in the car's rearview mirror, and even bumped into one when turning around in the house. What's worse, there are two ""7" low-level intelligences, Melissa and the little girl, who actually see through the identity of God, but God himself doesn't even know it. Dear, this is almost like in a game made by yourself. Played by an NPC, incredible! It's a bit like a robot in artificial intelligence that evolves too fast.

God Ryan is a bad boy addicted to drugs and addicted to hallucinations. Hope is another "9", Ryan is in " A partner in the dimension of God, entered into Ryan's hallucinatory world to save him. Meanwhile, God Ryan's self-awareness is also awakening. Finding something wrong with himself and bumping into another identity are his manifestations. But Ryan's problem is that he has I fell in love with the human beings I created and couldn't extricate myself. Melissa is the abstract representation of all human beings. Hope repeatedly emphasized that Melissa was the problem, and asking Ryan to give up Melissa was actually a metaphor for letting him give up on human beings, and then the whole world.

And Melissa, the representative of humanity, has been working hard to keep Ryan in this world. A quote from Melissa, "People pray to God all day long, only that he should not be forgotten". What does it mean to be forgotten by God? disappear. Melissa's efforts are not for the love of men and women, but as the most primitive will of consciousness, existence.

Ryan's final departure is another metaphor. God is gone, has left us. I didn't use "God is dead", but it's really the same thing. God enabled the "Delegate" mode before leaving the game, let you NPCs play with yourselves! God is not playing. Out of the feelings that have been together for many years, there is no Power off before God leaves. What will the world be like in the future? Who know?

I give 5 stars because this movie makes people think. Thinking is pleasant, and after a bit of addiction to being a "9", it can be considered a YY once, and it feels good.

Last but not least, there is a deep expression in the film. Ryan is the "God" who created our world with consciousness, which is what we call the creator. The physical laws that our world follows, such as gravitation, are actually the world rules created by his consciousness. Big enough! But Ryan is just an advanced consciousness! 9, not 10. 10 is the ultimate law, in Chinese, it is "Tao"! This is a very thought-provoking interpretation of the world.
