The principle of "The Matrix" actually looks very simple, and looks similar to a bit time traveling. Just like the "Butterfly Effect" filmed by Wang Meng before.

The difference is that "Butterfly Effect" changes the direction of the story through time and time travel. It is a good hope to get the ending, but the result is heartbreaking.

The Matrix is ​​about stopping things from going.

One is the rebirth of the soul and the other is the entry of the mind.

Just like in our novels, there are body traveling and soul traveling.

Although the form is different, the essence is similar. To be honest, one has gold fingers and the other has no.

Of course, in the eyes of Chinese people, it seems that "The Matrix" only has the difference between being handsome and being cool, and the overall fight is refreshing and refreshing.

Of course, the most important thing is that the reason why we like "The Matrix" is that the elements of kung fu are inseparable from Chinese philosophy.

Today's society is full of materialist theories and proofs, telling that the world is a world composed of matter, and there is no mysterious and 'alternative' theme.

There are contradictions in "The Matrix" and the ending is the ending of materialism, while the play is full of fantasy plots with philosophical nature.

Of course, Wang Meng himself is not a materialist in a strict sense.

Maybe I didn’t think so before I was reborn.

I said before that Wang Meng likes "The Butterfly Effect" is related to her previous love, but the impact in this life is even greater.

He firmly believes that the universe is unpredictable and the world is mysterious. There are always some things that we do not understand and cannot explain in science.

Some people say - "It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist." Perhaps Wang Meng is like this.

Our country belongs to a contradictory country, and myths for thousands of years, or the worship of the souls of ancestors, have penetrated into the bones.

Believe---people are doing things and seeing things, retribution is unhappy, etc., the sustenance of the category of consciousness.

But! Judging from today's insight, many of them are very far-fetched.

For example, "If the mind is calm, it will be cool"? This sentence is wrong, because it falls into the category of idealism; but in real life, a peaceful mind can indeed reduce the body temperature and cool the whole body, and the hot summer effect will be more obvious. It is obviously a real phenomenon in life, but it has to deny it and put forward a set of rhetoric to object. This is a contradiction left by Chinese education and history.

It is more intuitive to say "no desires lead to hardness". Well, it makes sense, it is very real.

But what I don’t understand is what desirelessness is? Maybe someone has no one there?

impossible?

This is an intuitive manifestation of idealism, but we are a country that advocates materialism.

From "the mind is calm and naturally cool" to "I think so I am here", it is the promotion of consciousness.

The former only emphasizes that consciousness can affect the flesh and body, while the latter completely denies the view that flesh and body determine consciousness. It believes that human thoughts are the basis of all matter, and a body that loses its thoughts is the walking corpse and has no meaning.

There are also some tests of the soul in reality, and many people who are on the verge of death have experience of souls coming out; the mysterious reincarnation of the spirit child also seems to confirm the view that the soul is immortal, spirit, flesh, and body and soul reincarnation; but the boldest assumption appears in "The Matrix", don't think it is just a dazzling high-tech movie, with many of the lines in it having a deeper depth.

For example, when Mephis trained Neo Kung Fu, he said: Haven't you discovered that you don't need to breathe in this space... I hope you can forget yourself. Compared with the "unity of man and sword" in Chinese martial arts, Mephis's realm is undoubtedly higher. People are - people are swords and swords are humans, and he is directly - no one without swords, completely forgetting oneself, the implication is to forget the constraints of the body and defeat the opponent with infinitely expanded consciousness. This is "absolute consciousnessism".

You are afraid of everything seriously. As long as you study it carefully, you will find different things.

This is how Wang Meng was. He wanted to film "The Matrix" before, but more of the previous life "The Matrix" was a classic masterpiece. Almost everyone said it was good, so he also thought it was good and he must shoot it.

Through the filming over the past month, Wang Meng has better understood the in-depth significance of "The Matrix".

Therefore, sometimes Wang Meng will adapt some lines in the play or explanations of Eastern culture based on his own ideas.

For example, in one of the passages, Neo went to see a prophet and saw a cute boy similar to the little living Buddha in Tibet. He taught Neo how to use his mind to bend the spoon. He said: Don’t try to break the spoon, that is impossible. The spoon does not exist, it is not the spoon that changes, but your heart.

Seeing this, Wang Meng imagined the famous "wind and flag-moving" in a Buddhist case in our country.

It is said that a bunch of monks were eating and resting at the temple gate after eating. Flag poles at the door flew over, and a monk said, "The wind moved"; a monk said, "The flag moved"; the third monk said, "It is not the wind moved, nor the flag moved, but the human heart is automatically."

Buddhism says that the third person's realm is not ordinary high. He elevated simple natural phenomena to the realm of consciousness, recognized the extraordinary function of consciousness, and also recognized that greed, anger, and ignorance all come from the uncertainty of the heart, and has already realized that greed, anger, and ignorance.

Neo in the movie can bend the spoon by changing his heart, but instead of achieving great enlightenment, he takes the first step to becoming a savior; this may be the different understanding of consciousnessism between the East and the West: the East advocates self-cultivation to achieve self-salvation, while the West saves the world through self-cultivation, which is broad or narrow, but it is difficult to have a precise limit.

During the shooting process, it is not filmed according to the movie. As mentioned before, a set must be shot with all the scenes that require this scene.

Wang Meng, because Wang Meng has a deep understanding of "The Matrix", he is even more willful in his combination of consciousness training and philosophical dialogue.

Wang Mengxiang uses his deeper understanding of "The Matrix" to explain his ideas, or more Chinese cultural ideas.

Some time ago, the shooting of real-life fighting scenes and real-life shots has slowly come to an end.

Now it is the part that is used in consciousness training and real-life shooting.

Next will be - a shooting in other cities and studios.

Wang Meng predicts that in early June, the real-life fighting scenes and the real-life scene shooting will be completed; it is expected that all the real-life scenes will be shot in July; and the final work will be carried out in the studio in August.

However, during this period, the special effects lenses were also being produced in the Dream Realm Special Effects. After the real scene shooting is completed, special effects still need to be processed.

As for the full-special effect, the shooting of the studio side is the studio. Of course, the virtual lens with full-special effect also needs to be processed.

Wang Meng doesn’t know whether Western audiences can understand the current changes?

After gathering the opinions of Michael Bay, as well as Hollywood members and actors of the crew, everyone really felt that it was very good and could increase the difficulty of philosophical science fiction.

Similarly, it will also allow Oriental movie fans to see more oriental cultural themes.

This seems to be a win-win nature, so Wang Meng was relieved.

You can not overestimate your own understanding and exploration of Eastern cultural philosophy.

Even Michael Bay said that it was already very exciting, but now it will be even more exciting, which is simply the meaning of a mythological classic.
