Question

Watch Steven Spielberg long feature film Ready Player One (2018).

Comment on the following analysis:

"The most important thing that I take from the movie and I believe is also the moral of the story is that by the end of the day reality is the only thing that's real. No matter how advanced technology becomes and how virtual future becomes, only way a person can feel and enjoy something is in reality. This movie also advocates for the balance between reality and virtual world, because in the end, one of the new changes that wade makes is to shut down oasis on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in order to enjoy real life and real people. Reality and virtual world Coexist and it is crucial to find balance."

Add on to the above paragraphˆˆ (disagree and agree)

Answer 1

I agree with the analysis that the movie emphasizes the importance of reality and human relationships, and that balance between the real world and virtual reality is crucial. It is true that technology should not be a replacement for human connection and real-life experiences. However, I would also like to add that the movie does not completely dismiss the importance of virtual reality. In fact, it shows how virtual reality can be used as a tool for bringing people together and creating a sense of community. The characters in the movie find solace and connection in the virtual world, which ultimately helps them in the real world as well. Therefore, it is not just a matter of choosing between the two, but rather finding a way to incorporate both into our lives in a healthy and balanced way.
