Ready Player One is a "game" movie directed by the famous director Steven Spielberg.
1.FOR FILM
The success of this film is undeniable. It is enough to prove that the movie market has been opened up a whole new world, At the same time, the audience is also close to the huge game player group. And the emergence of many extra scene has put this movie on the craze.
2.FOR GAME
However, the egg should be beyond the main storyline of the film, and in today's evaluation it has become the most concerned point of discussion. It can only be said that this is like put the cart before the horse.
there is a strong individual heroism in the movie, the producer Halliday is called God by all game fans. His personal charm convinced the sentient beings. Everyone recited his personal quotations, recalling his life. After the death, the video was organized by the school in the class. and to requires the player to study the producer’s or speculative producer’s personal intent to finish the game is like can't seem to be realized in reality.
The film skipped the supposedly focused discussion of video game culture and group identity, And portraying an imaginary world without group conflicts between the peoples, because everyone here is addicted to the game. in last feiw minutes at film, The badass drove on the street. Everyone was encircled on the street with virtual reality equipment. There was no social order, no balance between the people, and some were just immersive of game.
The ultimate form of the game itself is not virtual reality at all. This is definitely an enhancement, but it is not true for the audience of many other types of games. The way virtual reality is expressed in movies is not representative of the game itself.
Today, when games are gradually linked to art, the game contains more than just RPG clearance or e-sports confrontation or virtual reality.It can become a form of artistic carrier that can attract people to explore self-thinking like The Witness, The Last of Us, To the Moon, Journeyt, etc. And the appearance of this movie seems to set the boundaries of the game. Maybe the game or AR/VR doesn't like everyone fight on the street with the equipment.But perhaps it can be understood that the film needs to create conflicts. and its not "Game means nothing, but only reality matters."
Leaving the concept of the game, and back to the movie itself, Spielberg is a very good director who will catch the hot spot of the times. He knows what the people wants, and he will give them something. He did give the audience an unparalleled viewing experience. This is the quality that a good director needs, this age need his work.
