"..descends into chaos and poverty, thanks to climate change and a fossil-fuel crisis, most of its citizens spend their days traversing the OASIS, a virtual reality world created by an “eccentric” '80s kid named James Halliday." #bcm325 https://t.co/Jj8cAVG6dw
Something that I can't stop thinking about while watching this movie is how caught up in the cyber world we can get. It becomes our everything and we are so unaware of the reality of our lives, it's an escape and somewhere we can always go. It will always be there #bcm325
" ...environmental impacts caused by the “”Global Energy Crisis””. The crisis was caused by burning up all the natural fuels thus causing a destroyed environment that was beyond repair." I think I just found an answer to my own question #bcm325
"The main underpinning theme of Ready Player One is mankind's reliance on a simulated world – The Oasis – which is accessed through virtual reality equipment." #bcm325 https://t.co/6Ys1QLfx4Z
Okay this is more than likely just because I struggle to sit through any movie that isn't a Rom Com but I really appreciated the explanation of everything for the first 10 minutes of this movie #bcm325 from us non sci-fi fans, I say thank you
Telling the human race that anyone can basically invest in 500million because of an Easter Egg is like waiting for the hunger games to happen in real life #bcm325
Even in a world where you can do and be whatever you want - there is still something to worship. I think this kind of shows that us as humans need something or someone to look up too, to believe in #bcm325 my opinion anyway
This really should be the reality of our life, being able to be all that you want to be - I mean in a realistic stance - but that is the way people should feel #bcm325
The starting song to this movie is that last thing I expected to hear after watching all the previous movies, I literally laughed out loud. #bcm325 Me rn:
Like thinking of cyberspace in this way ... and the way Chris speaks when giving a lecture (the best might I add), it makes you circle back to day one of BCM where you ask yourself 'is anything even real?' #bcm325
"Although it is not exactly "real," "cyberspace" is a genuine place. Things happen there that have very genuine consequences. This "place" is not "real," but it is serious, it is earnest. Tens of thousands of people have dedicated their lives to it.." #bcm325 this gave me chills
