Virtual Reality

Probably each of us has had this question: Maybe this world was designed for me; maybe everything did not exist when I could not perceive it; maybe one day I will "wake up"-maybe after death .
This idea is very ideal. In this country we advocate materialism. But such a high-level philosophical basic problem is actually insoluble in our limited brain. We can only choose one based on our life experience. (I have to say that materialism is more "easy to use" in this respect.) In
other words, maybe the world we live in is fake, for example, there is a "person" who is observing and recording me like an experiment somewhere. While typing and questioning it all.
The scary thing is that there is no flaw in this statement. Once you affirm your own insignificance, there are no answers to all high-level questions.
However, it may be even more terrifying if there are flaws. Lies always hurt people after they are exposed.
People often say that it is the same principle that people have to have faith. They catch some unclear questions and give plausible answers. Believe and feel safe in your heart, even though you can't be sure that it is the truth. ("Believe in me will have eternal life." In case of death, there is nothing, so what can you do. You sue me.)
This is what the film is about. In that virtual world, there are "people" who find it. Flaws, nothing is true. And the people who created this virtual world, the world they are in, is it real? ...I have to be fortunate that I have lived for more than 20 years, and the world I live in has no flaws.
This plot is easy to think of "The Matrix", even though the two were released in the same year. What many people don't understand (this is a fact) is that Zion in the "Matrix" and the whole world that escaped from the "mother" is actually not true. Many people patronize the special effects. But to be honest, I didn’t understand the specific relationship too clearly. It seems that the virtual world has two layers. The Zion layer is used to solve those who cannot rest in the "mother body" and are destroyed regularly to maintain the entire system. Stablize.
[Note: In fact, there are other explanations. Later I found that the paragraph I wrote back then was not quite right, but I didn't bother to revise it. 】
The difference of "The Thirteen Floor" is that the virtual world inside does not rely on people for energy supply, it is purely electronic and nihility. In fact, there are several other philosophical problems here: what extent can it be called (wisdom) life? Is what we think and do is our will or "heaven" program code? None of these questions have been answered. Maybe no answer is good. Willing to be ignorant.
The film itself is not good enough, especially the first half is a bit boring. But there is a lot of thinking left for people. The end of the world on that poster was also a bit shocking. However, the effect is still not gorgeous enough, and the actors are also mediocre, probably because of the low investment.
In "The Truman Show", Truman left the island in a small boat to go to sea, but touched the side wall. There is the end of the "world". A door was cut open "out of nowhere" next to him, as if to say, "You have been tricked, only to find out." When we explore this universe, will we reach the edge one day and find a fence, like Blizzard in the World of Warcraft (Wolrd of Warcraft), with a sign hanging on it that says "Under Construction". Or, as in this movie, the lines have been hooked up, and they have not been colored or textured yet.
If there is a responsible creator, he should turn us around, like a frog at the bottom of a well cannot go out for a lifetime. I can often imagine that the spacecraft will fly in one direction and will eventually return to the starting point. It is like a "two-dimensional creature" living on the surface of a spherical world, and parallel lines may intersect at the end.
Or he changed his brand and said "Congratulations!", which surprised us, as in some other sci-fi works, "You have finally developed to this level/level, welcome to enter our world." Then what about your world, Living in a more advanced trap? There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
Those who believe in God to create this world say that the meaning of human existence is for God. What is the meaning of God's existence? In fact, gods don’t know, so gods made some people for fun.
The last shot of the film is classic and obscure. It looks like a TV picture that was suddenly unplugged. Do you think it is reality? It may not be virtual. Maybe our world will be interrupted in the next second, and I haven't saved it yet. Let me take a look.

    In fact, the concept of this film is very similar to Inception, except that there was no red in the past. . The film points out the sad and pitiful state of mind of human beings, who always want to be a ruler, at the cost of manipulating other people's lives. And the wisest person becomes the saddest person. When you go further among your peers, when you expand your eyes and discover the limitations of this world and the falsity of existence, you become the most pitiful person. Survival is so absurd and
