一場關於知識的說教

前期交代過程還算有趣，後期基本屬於上帝在表演，當金手指具有無窮的能力時，特效本身已經失去了吸引人的能力，更多的記住的反而是幾句片中的台詞，不管是故作煽情，還是編劇確實希望表達也好，總之也能讓我有所感觸，雖然只是那一剎那。

片中的台詞基本可以總結為對於知識的思考吧（骨頭裡面找雞蛋）。

1. 知識的複雜度

All social systems we've put into place are a mere sketch: "one plus one equals two", that's all we've learned, but one plus one has never equaled two — there are in fact no numbers and no letters, we've codified our existence to bring it down to human size, to make it comprehensible, we've created a scale so we can forget its unfathomable scale.

知識其實是深不可測的，但是我們通過數字和量化簡化了現實世界，使得它相對可以理解。

2. 知識的獲取

這段話是女主用刀紮了韓國黑幫老大後說的，其實更多是像是旁白;

Learning's always a painful process. Like when you're little and your bones are growing and you ache all over.

獲取知識是痛苦的，就如兒時骨頭生長時全身疼痛一般。

It’s funny, I used to be so concerned with who I was and what I wanted to be, and now that I have access to the furthest reaches of my brain, I see things clearly and realize that what makes us 「us」 — it’s primitive. They』re all obstacles. Does that make any sense?

Like this pain you』re experiencing. It’s blocking you from understanding. All you know now is pain. That’s all you know, pain.

年紀越大就越不可能像保持小時候對知識的興趣，對他人評價，對社會地位的追求這些毫無意義的東西佔據了生活; 生理上的病痛也妨礙我們的思考，就如摩根·弗里曼在電影開始時說的：

We humans are more concerned with having than with being. (人類更多的關注擁有，而不是存在本身的意義。)

3. 知識的延續

如果不能永生(immortality)，知識就需要傳遞(reproduction)。知識靠傳遞才能積累，所以摩根·弗里曼對女主說：

If you're asking me what to do with all this knowledge you're accumulating, I say, pass it on … just like any simple cell, going through time.


4. 知識和人性的關係

認知到了極致，就會失去人性。

I don't feel pain, fear, desire. It's like all things that make us human are fading away. It's like the less human I feel, all this knowledge about everything, quantum physics, applied mathematics, the infinite capacity of the cell's nucleus, they're all exploding inside my brain. All this knowledge. I don't know what to do with it.

通信科技的發展，因為手機人與人之間的聯繫是否更緊密了？生物技術的推進，未來會是怎樣，家庭和婚姻是否依然存在？

5. 知識的力量

知識可以讓我們獲取更多的資訊，了解世界。

Do you believe I can remember the sound of my own bones growing? Like this grinding under the skin. Everything's different now. Like sounds are music that I can understand, like fluids.

當摩根·弗里曼擔心女主把知識傳遞給人類時會因為人類的貪慾而引發社會的混亂時，女主說：

Ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge.

無知才會帶來混亂，知識不會。嗯，因為我們知道的還不夠多，所以當代的科技社會仍然還是混亂。
