A feast of feelings and visions (Ready Player One's impressions)

Ready Player One, it's been a few days since it was released. But I haven't had time to look at it. Knowing that today, I finally took a few hours out to watch this movie.

Since Spielberg's withdrawal from the opening ceremony of the 2018 Olympics, I have not had a good sense of him. Coupled with the solar empire he photographed in his early years, he was suspected of beautifying the Japanese army. So I haven't watched his movies in the past few years. But the number one player still went after all.

We often use the visual feast to describe the kind of Hollywood special effects blockbuster. But generally after this time is used, it means that the plot is weak. The plot of Ready Player One isn't complicated either. It's even pretty simple. But all sorts of details are hidden in it. It's not just those 138 easter eggs. It's the small details that seem to be inadvertently revealed, which can still make people fall in love with it.

In this film, Spielberg's vision of the future is undoubtedly pessimistic. The extreme gap between the rich and the poor, the unenterprising human race. Messy, dirty, dangerous ghetto. The first slum shot even gave me a sense of a shanty town in Hong Kong in the 80s. The cramped and shabby one fills all the senses. It's hard to imagine that it was the world of the future.

Games are the only thing in this world that has vitality. It is also the existence that rules the spiritual world of all human beings. People work and live in the game. Even the game itself is already a life. The opening part, the melee of the Dead Planet. The ultra-high-speed rhythm, gorgeous fights, and all kinds of tributes and easter eggs everywhere began to ignite the hearts of the audience.

The male protagonist is a lone ranger, and in this game called Oasis, he is a master of masters. The designer of the game died, and he left a will, in which there were three keys in the game. As long as you have three keys, you can get the ultimate easter egg of the Oasis. Thus inheriting his 500 billion dollars of fortune and even control of the entire Oasis.

The story begins, but it seems to me that the story itself, which is so obvious, doesn't really matter. It's the details that matter, and the feelings that are everywhere.

The protagonist solves the puzzle of the first level and gets the first key. But danger comes with it. A large corporation plotting an oasis even does not hesitate to use force in reality to hunt down the protagonist. And the heroine is a rebel fighter who opposes the evil corporation.

Good and evil, black and white, are extremely clear here. There is no such thing as deliberately indistinguishing between black and white, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. The good guys and the bad guys at a glance. The hero and heroine know each other in the game and in the process of escaping. A simple and straightforward love story. But in the game, it is revealed by an unimaginable visual language.

Their pas de deux in the ballroom, I don't know how to describe it. To put it simply, gorgeous, beautiful, gorgeous to the extreme.

The male protagonist pursues the female protagonist for the sake of the master, and does not hesitate to expose his true identity, so he causes death. But it finally moved the heroine. She also did not hesitate to expose her true identity and saved the male protagonist. And then there's one of the lines that impressed me the most in the whole story.

When the male protagonist woke up from a coma, the female protagonist took her to the balcony. Here, the whole film is extremely rare to see green plants, and in this dim future, green becomes extremely rare. This seems to indicate the purity and beauty between them. And the male protagonist also said the line that impressed me for the first time.

"The rhythm here ...... It's slow. ”

And the next second, the male protagonist was immersed in that slow and elegant rhythm. But after only a few minutes, the film returns to the super-high-speed game world. This also makes these short minutes stand out throughout the text. Here, it is an indictment of the high-speed life of the present and the future. Accusing this kind of high speed has taken away too many beautiful things.

Let's talk about the designer who doesn't appear much in the game, Halliday. He is a gifted game designer with social phobia. His whole life has been lonely, and he only has games as his companion. He once loved a girl so much that he asked her out to the movies. He knew that the other party liked to dance, and he knew that the other party was waiting for a kiss from him, but Tazhong did not take that step. This has also become the regret of his life. He adds his regrets to the game and has his heirs fill it up. This is also the second level of the game.

And at the end of the line,After the male master clears the customs,The most important authority given to the male owner,It's a destruction button.。 You can completely erase everything about the Oasis game. The story is here, bringing the world in the game back to reality. also echoes the obscure main line of the whole story. The game isn't everything.

And at the last moment, the male protagonist finally realized that the NPC was not an NPC in the general sense. He finally asked that question. 'Who are you?' Although the other party did not answer positively. But his last words, 'Thank you, play my game.'" In fact, it has already shown everything. That NPC was Halliday. He put himself into the game. Waiting for your own successor.

Throughout the course of the movie, the male protagonist kills all sides, saves the oasis, and harvests endless money, as well as love, and power. But I don't envy him, in fact, the one I envy the most in the whole story is Halliday, the designer. Maybe I'm too emotional.

There are too many details in the whole film that are worth savoring, and in the high-speed audio-visual feast, every detail that slows down is a finishing touch. There are also various classic movies and some characters that appear in the middle of the game battles. The tall vs. Mechagodzilla of the final battle, and other obvious easter egg plots, I won't go into detail one by one, you can take a look at it if you are interested.
