Surrogates

I always love to reflect movies with our own life. Of course alot of movie are inspired from our daily life, and some of them are based on true story. Naturally, to attract viewers, movies tend to exaggerate until a certain extend it is just too fake. Nontheless, you can still get some moral from movies.

I bet most of you have watched Surrogates. If you don't, i won't tell you the story as it will be like spoilers. It's a sci-fi and the summary is that people in the future can have their own surrogate, which is like an AI which looks exactly like human, and you sorta control it to do your daily routine. No supernatural power, just human. Of coz the advantage is that you won't get hurt since it's not ur real body.

The settings of surrogate might seem to be somewhere in the future, but i can tell you it's around us already. In fact everyone you see is a surrogate. Nobody is real nowadays. It's no longer a question of whether a person is wearing mask from his/her true identity or not, it's now the matter of how many layers.

Well, from my point of view, this "surrogates" has its bright side too. At least you can use it to camouflage your weaknesses in this cunning and cruel society, where only the strong one survives. As i believe everyone has their weak spot. A strong person is those who are good in hiding their weakness.

But i felt, the ugly truth of coz, is that surrogates has more ugly side than bright side. All those fake smiles, fake promises, fake compliment, it's just ugly and disgusting.
