一场关于知识的说教

前期交代过程还算有趣，后期基本属于上帝在表演，当金手指具有无穷的能力时，特效本身已经失去了吸引人的能力，更多的记住的反而是几句片中的台词，不管是故作煽情，还是编剧确实希望表达也好，总之也能让我有所感触，虽然只是那一刹那。

片中的台词基本可以总结为对于知识的思考吧（骨头里面找鸡蛋）。

1. 知识的复杂度

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.

知识其实是深不可测的，但是我们通过数字和量化简化了现实世界，使得它相对可以理解。

2. 知识的获取

这段话是女主用刀扎了韩国黑帮老大后说的，其实更多是像是旁白;

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

获取知识是痛苦的，就如儿时骨头生长时全身疼痛一般。

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.

年纪越大就越不可能像保持小时候对知识的兴趣，对他人评价，对社会地位的追求这些毫无意义的东西占据了生活; 生理上的病痛也妨碍我们的思考，就如摩根·弗里曼在电影开始时说的：

We humans are more concerned with having than with being. (人类更多的关注拥有，而不是存在本身的意义。)

3. 知识的延续

如果不能永生(immortality)，知识就需要传递(reproduction)。知识靠传递才能积累，所以摩根·弗里曼对女主说：

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. 知识和人性的关系

认知到了极致，就会失去人性。

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.

通信科技的发展，因为手机人与人之间的联系是否更紧密了？生物技术的推进，未来会是怎样，家庭和婚姻是否依然存在？

5. 知识的力量

知识可以让我们获取更多的信息，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.

当摩根·弗里曼担心女主把知识传递给人类时会因为人类的贪欲而引发社会的混乱时，女主说：

Ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge.

无知才会带来混乱，知识不会。嗯，因为我们知道的还不够多，所以当代的科技社会仍然还是混乱。
