The Gamer

This is a good movie. Tommy won four free tickets from Hitz.fm. I have to thank him on that. So Stephie, Edward and I went to 1 Utama to meet Tommy. After collecting the tickets, we head to Vietnamese Kitchen to have dinner. I ordered my usual and so did Tommy. Edward ordered something which was suppose to be spicy but he say it isn't. Stephie ordered a salad.

After dinner, we head off to the cinema to watch the movie. It was good. It does focus on the point where how do we draw the line between reality and virtual reality. I can say most of us are partially living in virtual reality as we chat online, do online buying and selling, online order, online banking, etc. These shows on those who are living in the real world and those who wants to live in virtual reality. In virtual reality, you are controlled by those who are using you as their character.

From what I understand from this movie, you can be anything or anyone you want to be in virtual reality. It can be complete opposite to who you truly are. But to what extend would a person be happy. It is like happiness for a short period or long term. When you are in virtual reality, it seems that all problems are hidden or can be avoided. At least I learn something from the movie. But I think I would have to write another post to explain on how this movie affect me and got me thinking.
