real virtual, fake life

I originally watched "Machine Incarnation" from the perspective of watching a sci-fi film, and I thought that Bruce Willis would be as fierce as he did in Die Hard. But after watching it, I realized what a nerve-wracking movie it was.

Although the current technology has not yet reached the level of allowing robots to act as agents, we have seen too much real indifference. With the advent of the Internet, we have gradually become hypocritical, the hypocrisy that is virtualized, and the hypocritical too virtual. How long have you not contacted your relatives, how long have you not looked at your lover affectionately, how long have you not gone out for a good walk. All the people in the machine avatar don't need to go out, they have their agents, 30-year-old men are all potbellied, 30-year-old women are all wrinkled. But in the virtual machine incarnation, every man is handsome and fit, and every woman is sexy and enchanting. Like today's Internet, the 20-year-old beauty who chats with you in the game may be an old grandma on crutches. People need to find stimulation in virtual avatars, sensual and inner, to satisfy the virtual, to satisfy the short-lived pleasure.

When the doctor who invented the agent, realized that this is a danger, it is a kind of regression of human progress, and he wants to kill everyone who uses the agent. Yes, it was time to kill them all. Originally, it was not the fault of technology. It was people who got used to being virtual and gave up their right to be human. And as the Doctor himself said, all I killed was a bunch of walking dead. . .

We often complain that life is empty and boring. Can infinite virtuality be empty and boring? Why are people happy and why people are sad. Happiness is because you have pursuits and dreams, and the realization of your dreams will make you happy. Sadness is because it is not as you wish. What is your pursuit, what was your dream? When you're alone, when you're in a dream, have you ever wondered - what am I doing? I do everything for what?

I like American blockbusters very much. They seem to be sci-fi and fantasy, but you will find that every movie seems to tell you a simple but very real philosophy. In this film, I only know that a person is constantly traveling through time and space, going to the future to find an answer to the past. I watched it again some time ago, but found that I really understood the gist of the movie. People can't change the past, all you have to do is to have a dream, right now, to constantly change your future.

Don't blindly remember the past, don't let your time stop at a certain second in history, there is still a lot of things to do in the future.

Please cherish the real people around you. When the real becomes indifferent, the virtual can no longer represent your feelings!

I have played a lot of online games and met a lot of friends, but you will find that even if these friends can part with you in the game, what can help you in real life is still true. Although many of my friends I do not often contact, but the same as a friend said. Even if we don't contact, but as long as we meet, we will not lack any topic, this is the real friend~~~

Love the ending of the movie, Bruce Willis with a beard, hugging his wrinkled lover. They transcended the agent, transcended the virtual, and returned to the real~~~~

    Bruce Willis was a bit embarrassed.

    The only bright spot is Uncle Weili's blond hair. This theme is really not new, right?

Surrogates quotes

    Tom Greer: Honey, I don't know what you are. I mean, for all I know, you could be some big, fat dude sitting in his stim chair with his dick hanging out.

    The Prophet: Look at yourselves. Unplug from your chairs, get up and look in the mirror. What you see is how God made you. We're not meant to experience the world through a machine.
