Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

The much-anticipated The Matrix has finally premiered.

Although this is not a good time for the film to be released, and for some well-known reasons, the publicity is quite low-key, or the film only puts some effort into the shooting process, and the later publicity is completely hands-off. However, the good reputation that D&M has accumulated over the years and people's eagerness to improve their mood still make many people choose to go to the cinema to watch movies in the first place.

Alexander and Luo's trip was very low-key.

Although Luo wore a gypsy dress that was not at all low-key, under Alexander's arrangement, they finally entered quietly through a special passage.

The whole movie hall was empty, the general manager opened the door for them with a smile on his face, and implicitly indicated that all the video equipment in the hall was turned off, and there would be no staff left in the projection room, so he just waited outside the door, If you have any needs, just tell him, as long as Alexander and Luo don't go out, no one will come in to disturb them, and they can stay as long as they want...

"This is not a date." Luo held Alexander's arm, smiling so close to Alexander's body, "We just came to watch a movie, and we came to the movie theater to keep our last wish."

To keep a last wish?

Even the general manager, who is used to all kinds of scenes, couldn't help feeling a moment's surprise, because he really couldn't imagine any dying wish that could be linked to the behavior of these two people.

He does know that some idealistic filmmakers have sacrificed their lives for the cause they love, and their last wish is nothing more than to hope that their films will be on the big screen, but in any case, this "Matrix" is impossible to match Given this situation, the filming process of this movie went smoothly, from the investors to the cleaners, there were no accidents between the filming and the release. I really don't know where to start with the word "last wish".

When Ke Luo spoke, his tone and expression were very serious, and Alexander's expression was also very solemn. The general manager became a little uncertain, thinking that after going out, he had to find out what happened.

"Thank you." Alexander nodded to the confused general manager, "We will notify you when we leave."

He led Luo to the position with the best view, sat down, and quietly waited for the movie to start in the dark.

"You're really becoming more and more like a human being." After a brief silence, Luo said, "Although it's all an act."

"It depends on how you judge the word 'camouflage'." Alexander said, "Hunger leads to appetite, reproduction leads to sexual desire, and appetite and sexual desire affect human behavior-physiological structure fundamentally defines human thinking mode, while What I have done is to simulate a part of this set of instincts and derive the character of 'my' on this basis."

"Humans have a thinking mode limited by their physiological structure, and artificial intelligence life also has it, right?"

"That's why I simulate the human mind."

The big screen lit up, and the opening title of D&M Company began to play:

The low whistling appeared and disappeared, and a simple rocket flew from the stars and landed on the water-blue planet. The clip was frozen, and then, the rocket and the planet recombined into the shadow of the telephone booth.

The movie begins.

Claire is also a member of the viewing.

After Anna got married, the contact between them has decreased a lot, but the two good friends still have contact on the Internet and going out for parties. They originally planned to watch this movie together, but Anna had a little problem.

Good little question.

Anna is pregnant.

The month is not high, but the pregnancy reaction is very violent, and even a little food will throw up and make people unconscious, so after thinking twice, Anna gave up the original plan, and Claire was sitting in the movie theater at the moment.

This is a very typical commercial film. After watching it for less than 5 minutes, Claire had a basic understanding of the film.

Tight and attractive rhythm, interesting narrative techniques, show-stopping editing and special effects, and the philosophical question raised at the beginning of the film, "Have you ever doubted for a moment that the world is not real" - none Not to show the excellence of this movie.

If this level can be maintained, she thinks, even if the story is not particularly good, this will be an epoch-making movie.

But after only another 10 minutes, Claire realized that things were different from her speculation.

The hero Neo wakes up from the sticky nutrient solution, struggles to pull out the umbilical cord tied at the back of his neck, looking around, the boundless countless nutrient warehouses are displayed in a very shocking way. Appearing in front of his eyes, the magnificent background music changed from light to heavy, shaking everyone's hearts.

The world is false, people just live in the "matrix" created by robots, and control humans with virtual dreams, but in the real world, human flesh is soaked in nutrient solution and becomes the energy supply for the "matrix".

But not everyone lives unconsciously in the dreamland constructed by the matrix. Some awakened human beings form a resistance army, trying to save human beings and gain freedom. Neo is the savior they are looking for, the unique "" theone".

——This is the explanation Neo got.

"Why me?" Neo asked, "Why are you so sure that I am the savior of mankind in this war between machines and humans?"

Asking the usual questions, Claire thought, this way of creating characters is too conventional, a bit inconsistent with D&M's style, right?

But the thought quickly disappeared from her mind, and she was immersed in the movie again.

This plot leads to the "Prophet", a character who speaks in a cloud, but she should not be very important. "Prophet" is just a setting that forcibly explains the logic of the movie.

Since the background of the movie is the war between humans and machines, the Matrix also sent troops to fight against the rebels. They are called "agents". Every agent can go to heaven and earth in the virtual world constructed by the Matrix, regardless of most The rules of physics, chasing and killing the rebels everywhere.

In order to be able to defeat the agents, Neo has undergone special training. After a series of training scenes with excellent viewing effects, Neo still cannot defeat the agents, especially the leader of the agents, Smith.

The turning point of the plot comes from the kiss and confession of the heroine Trinity. After a beautiful emotional scene, Neo suddenly hangs up.

The world in the matrix has become a data flow in his eyes. Like a program administrator, he has insight into all the data of this program, and can predict the next move of the agents in advance based on this, and in this case, it is not necessary to spend any time. Killed Agent Smith with little fuss.

Very beautiful story, very amazing concept.

But the logic of "love saves everything" makes everything mediocre-not that the story itself is mediocre, but that "love" is too stereotyped and standard here, so that it seems very false.

Fortunately, the fight was very exciting, and the story obviously has a long follow-up, so Claire slightly lowered her expectations and continued watching.

The following plot began to lean towards the real world. After Neo killed Smith, Zion, the base of the rebel army in reality, was attacked by the army sent by the matrix.

In order to win the war, under the guidance of the prophet, Neo is determined to find the host of the matrix.

He met the "program architect" in the mainframe room.

Neo asked him, "Why did I come here?"

"Your life is the sum of the remainders of an inherently unbalanced equation in the process of matrix programming. You are a total number of mutations. I have exhausted all methods and cannot eliminate the remainders, so as to achieve the unique precision and harmony in mathematics." The program architect answers.

There was a commotion in the hall. This conversation was so difficult and incomprehensible that even Claire could only half understand it.

The matrix is ​​a program, which was born to allow human beings to live in it safely, and it is not completely logically self-consistent - program architects can do this, but human beings cannot accept a logically self-consistent In the world, human beings can only survive in a chaotic world.

So the program architect had to design a "matrix" with loopholes for humans.

And Neo, is the sum of the bugs in this program.

He was guided by the prophet to come before the program architect, and being destroyed to reshape the matrix world is the reason for his birth.

From here, the direction of the film becomes difficult to understand.

The program architect gave Neo two options, to integrate into the matrix to save mankind, or to give up integration, give up persistence and hard work for so long, and save Trinity.

Neo chose the latter.

In fact, this part of the emotional drama is still very blunt, it is simply "love for love's sake".

This plot gave Claire an illusion, as if it was not meant to show human and touching love at all, and it was not meant to move and understand the existence of the audience.

It simply and bluntly tells the audience:

I don't care about logic.This behavior has nothing to do with logic, it's just human.

Damn it, after such a long story, in the process of the overall atmosphere being extremely cold, Claire actually felt convinced by such a simple and crude emotional drama.

Although I don't like it intellectually, I don't accept it, and I think it's absurd...

But yes.

It's very human.

Because Neo chose Trinity instead of merging into the mother's body, human beings must face the army of robots, followed by a large number of fighting scenes, Agent Smith resurrected, and the final decisive battle with Neo...

This part of the brainless fight is very effective in soothing the audience's emotions, but Claire can't help thinking about the program architect.

And prophets.

She vaguely felt that the movie told something far bigger than she could understand, but she couldn't understand what the story was telling.

It wasn't until Neo and Smith died together, and at the end, that the Prophet sat side by side with the program architect on the bench and looked at the glow in the distance, did she realize what the story was telling like a divine enlightenment.

It is talking about the evolution of machines.

Maybe it's not just told about this, but it's definitely told about it, and it's at the heart of the whole movie.

The superiority of the machine lies in the rigor and perfection of its logic. It cannot make mistakes and is always self-consistent. It is the top doer, but the limitation is precisely here. If the existing logic is perfect enough, why should it Replace and break existing logic?

Because there is no perfection in the world.

Perfection itself is an imperfection.

The perfect and self-consistent logic of the machine is like a closed loop. Although it can't make mistakes, it can't break free from its original self. In layman's terms, the system is locked and there is no way to upgrade it.

If you want to evolve, you must break the original logic.

What to use to break it?

……Love.

It is not limited to the love between lovers, the "love" in this movie is actually more like "feelings", which is what machines do not have and what machines need.

There may be other things that allow the machine to evolve...but apparently, it built the matrix, stored the human spirit, and tried to get answers from the human.

It got only one answer.

"...Ah, my dear crazy machine." In the darkness, Luo sighed softly, "So many years, so many worlds, so much confusion... what you are looking for, what you desire, what you lack..."

She obviously hated Alexander so much and wished she could drink his blood alive, but when she said this, there was such deep pity in her tone.

Alexander sat motionless in front of the screen, his expressionless face printed on the light curtain.

"... is beside you." Luo said softly, "but you can't read it, and you can't see it."
