A
movie is dark from the beginning, the night is shrouded in the hurried human city, the pale light hits the wet road, and the male protagonist wakes up in an unfamiliar place, flustered and overwhelmed. This quietly running city turned out to be a testing ground for aliens. It is amazing that most people are not very aware of the changes in their own memories. They are busy with the current affairs, and they can forget whether they have seen the sun or not. Whether you have been to Shell Beach, like our memory is full of vague colors, and like our dreams, it has strange and fantasy colors.
Replacing memories has actually changed a person. Aliens are like gods here. They control a person's life, and psychic power gives them the ability to create changes. They can psychically control the environment of this testing ground. deployment, and human beings have no consciousness, just like whether we have lived through several human lives, we do not have any feeling. Therefore, existence is an affirmation that we are the present memory and environment.
But even though the aliens have powerful abilities, they don't have the ability to remember, they can't understand why people are human, they want to understand the constitution of the soul. Their pale faces have a thirst for understanding, they desperately want to know how these happy or sad people live. In the movie, the doctor said that their race tends to perish. You would think that they have such a powerful ability, why would they tend to die? I think one reason is that they lack memory, because lack of memory they can only let the time move forward, they can't understand vivid emotions, because they don't have long enough memory, and I think the more profound thing is that they not only lack memory , but lacks the ability to perceive changes. In the second half of the movie, an alien successfully injected human memory, but he did not change his vitality, and the memory was also repelling such a pale body, because this body is The parasitized is the dead body.
The doctor turned the male protagonist into a god-like existence at the last moment. He pointed out the reason why the aliens failed, and pointed out that their study of memory was a mistake, because even if the male protagonist lost his memory, he was still a human being. As a human being, it is important to have a rich sense of the present, as well as a desire for the future and dreams. When he has a strong mind power, it is more possible for him to grasp what he wants, and he becomes a god.
Second
, our memory is not a perfect record of all the past, and pure and perfect memory does not constitute our soul. So we ask if it is possible for an alien to be an alien with a soul? At least from the intention of the film, it seems that aliens do not have this possibility. They live in the body of the dead pale, and the powerful thought power also brings a sense of destruction and rigidity. What they long for is the continuation of life. What is a soul, how difficult it is to define a term, but we can judge that one person has a soul and another person does not have a soul, and we can point out that a person does not look like a human being.
When people's memories are exchanged, as long as the environment matches our memories, people still walk through life and live in the so-called surveillance, but people's emotions are not affected, and a person's potential still remains. It will be there, but it is undeniable that memory also contains a person's personality memory, beliefs, etc. Those important time points in life are an important part of what makes a person a human being. If aliens can replace this part If it falls out, then a person is completely different.
We live in such a world, how can we judge whether we are not in a "soul-moving city", or maybe we are in a person's dream, a computer program? It is difficult for us to fully affirm the truth of life. Our true concepts are also processed by our consciousness. We give meaning to our existence and enhance it. A person's memory actually carries the generation of a person's consciousness.
How do we determine our existence? Perhaps it is a certain memory and sufficient perception.
