“
比《盗梦空间》更抽象，比《星际穿越》更硬核。
is more abstract than Dreamspace, and more hard core than Interstellar Cross.
这个世界上，没什么能够难倒影迷。
There's nothing in this world that's going to be a hard-to-do fan.
如果有，那大概率是你看的电影还不够多。
If there is, that's probably not enough movies you're watching.
比如最近爆红的“元宇宙”。
For example, the recent ‘strong’ of
尽管还没搞清楚这个高概念到底什么意思，但那些有强大资金做背书的游戏公司、社交网站、科技公司，已经一窝蜂地占领这个高地了。
Although it is not clear what this high concept really means, the game companies, social networking sites, technology companies that have strong funds for endorsement have taken over the highlands.
这更让人好奇了：元宇宙到底啥意思？
This is even more curious: what does the Yuan cosmos mean?
其实，只要你看过《红辣椒》《黑客帝国》《盗梦空间》《全面回忆》《头号玩家》和《失控玩家》这一批科幻经典，那你就能意识到：
In fact, as long as you look at the Sci-fi classics of , "The Hacker Empire" and "Backer Space" and "Strong" and "The Out of Control", you realize that:
元宇宙，无非是改变世界的同时，也改变着人类生存状态和感知方式的未来技术。
The meta-cosmos is a future technology that changes the world while also changing the state of human existence and the way in which people feel.
但这些电影也警示我们：当我们高度沉浸于这个“虚拟世界”时，元宇宙背后被资金暴涨与现象级讨论所掩盖的本质却变得难以捉摸……
But these films also warn us that, when we are highly immersed in this “virtual world”, the nature of what lies behind the Woncosm, which is hidden by the surge in money and the discourse of phenomena, becomes elusive.
对这个问题讨论最经典的，要数8年前的一部冷门佳作——《未来学大会》。
The most classic discussion of this issue will take place eight years ago — a cold book
《未来学大会》（2013）
Future Congress (2013)
在未来，人没价值了
People are worthless in the future.
作为一部真人+动画混合作品，《未来学大会》的影片形式令人耳目一新。
The film " Future Congress ", a hybrid of real people and animations, is a new form of film.
导演阿里·福尔曼前作《和巴什尔跳华尔兹》，仅在结尾处回归现实，而这部《未来学大会》，则将形式与内容完美结合。
Directed by
影片从一个过气的传奇女演员的生活讲起。
The film begins with the life of an amazing actress.
《阿甘正传》和《纸牌屋》的女主角罗宾·怀特，以本名出演。她作为“麦拉蒙”电影公司的老牌天后，曾给公司带来相当的收入。
The leading actress of Agan's Lives and Card House, Robin White , played in her own name. She brought considerable income to the company since she was an old-fashioned film company, “Mlamont”.
然而，在公司上层看来，罗宾·怀特过于任性，经常罢演，也因为儿子的疾病而中途退出演艺圈，于是决定和她签最后一份合同。
However, in the view of the company's superiors, Robin White was too incompetent and frequently dismissed from the show because of his son's illness, and decided to sign the last contract with her.
这份合同要求她通过数字化扫描技术将身体、表情、相貌通通保存下来，成为一个真正的“数字演员”，而罗宾·怀特本人不再重要。
The contract required her to preserve her body, face and face through digital scanning technology and become a true `digital actor'
这样的一个“数字演员”，可以通过计算机技术模拟不同年龄阶段的状态，也就是说，这项技术在现实世界之外创造了一个虚拟形象。
Such a “digital actor” can simulate the state of different ages through computer technology, that is, it creates a virtual image outside the real world.
“世界变化太快，无需时日，我们所珍视的这个领域的一切都将不复存在，在演员领域、经纪人、公关经理、休息用的房车、药物、可卡因、抑郁症、分手、恋人、性丑闻、违约、读来索然无味的剧本、过气后的痛苦、公关脱罪、祈求公众的宽恕，所有的这些可能都会消失。”
“The world is changing so fast that, without time, everything in this area that we cherish will cease to exist, and all this may disappear in the field of actors, brokers, public relations managers, rest cars, drugs, cocaine, depression, break-up, lovers, sexual scandals, breach of contract, reading odious plays, post-negative pain, release from public relations, and begging for public forgiveness.”
《未来学大会》似乎预示着电影行业的终极命运：
"The Future Congress" seems to herald the ultimate destiny of the film industry:
在人们的线上观影习惯逐渐入侵传统院线之时，在虚拟制片、虚拟拍摄还未在行业普及前，它将电影最直观的工种彻底改变了。
At a time when people's online visualization habits gradually invaded traditional courtyard lines, it completely changed the most intuitive type of work in films before virtual production and virtual photography became widely available in the industry.
演员的价值，彻底被摧毁。
The value of the actor is completely destroyed.
而罗宾·怀特却因为面临儿子即将失聪的困境，在一番身份尊严与现状的纠结与考量之后，不得不接受这份合同。
Robin White, on the other hand, had to accept the contract after a combination of dignity and state of affairs in the face of the impending deafness of his son.
在真人部分的演绎中，面对电影公司的始乱终弃，生活在摄影棚的主人公，似乎还在对那个旧世界恋恋不舍。
In the performance of the real part, it seems that the people who live in the studio are still in love with the old world in the face of the ruins of the film company.
但如果只是自由选择被剥夺，故事并不会多精彩。
But stories will not be as good as stories if they are simply denied free choice.
《未来学大会》超越时代的一点，在于它对人类命运的预示。
One of the things that transcends the times is that it heralds the destiny of mankind.
内卷版《星际穿越》
in the volume Interstellar Crossing > /strang
?随着主人公在二十年后，开着那辆保时捷的老爷车在沙漠大道上奔驰，视觉消费与景观社会的终极形态如同梦魇般降临，一场娱乐至死的疯狂游戏即将到来……
♪ With the master driving that Porsche in 20 years later running on the desert road, the final shape of the society of visual consumption and landscapes descends like a nightmare, and a crazy game of entertainment to death is about to come ♪
罗宾·怀特受邀参加未来学大会，她前往的亚伯拉荷马市是一个动画封锁区。
Robin White was invited to the Congress of Futures, and her trip to the city of Abrahoma was an animated blockade zone.
《未来学大会》用动画的形态创造了一个虚拟世界。
这和真人部分似乎有一些割裂，二十年后的未来真的会如此抽象吗？
Does the future of the human part really seem to be so abstract in 20 years?
在进入分析之前，必须要聊一下影片原著，波兰科幻大师斯坦尼斯瓦夫·莱姆的《未来学大会》。
Before proceeding to the analysis, it is important to talk about the film's originals, The Future Congress of Polish master Sci-fi
在这部作品中，莱姆用极度具象的文字，把主人公陷入幻觉后的体验感细细描绘。
In this work, Rem paints in very graphic terms the owner's experience as a result of hallucination.
这部短篇小说的创作背景，正值西方社会深受迷幻药的危害。
This short novel is written in the context of a Western society that is plagued by ecstasy.
颇为针砭时弊，也具有相当的思辨性与哲学性，使得《未来学大会》成为科幻文学史上，最著名的软科幻作品之一。
The vexing of time, as well as the perceptive and philosophical nature, makes the Congress of the Future one of the most famous soft-fiction works in the history of science fiction.
影片的动画部分，借鉴了莱姆的概念与情节。
The animated part of the film draws on the concept and circumstances of Rem.
鲜艳的画面引人注目，夸张的人物造型荒诞怪异，也创造了一种混乱的幻觉感，层层梦境套嵌，主人公在昏迷与苏醒间逐渐丧失了自我。
The bright scenes are striking, and exaggerating characters are phantom, creating a confusing illusion, contemplation of dreams and a gradual loss of identity between coma and awakening.
与原著不同的是，阿里·福尔曼将情感的体验摆在了首位，陷入幻觉长达二十年的罗宾·怀特，始终将亲情作为自己的行为动机。
Unlike the original, Ali Foreman placed the experience of emotion first, and Robin White, who had been mired in illusions for 20 years, always made affection his motive for his actions.
在这里，科幻的设定只是一种阻碍。
Here, sci-fi set-up is just an obstacle.
如果说《星际穿越》是人类因情感得以征服浩瀚苍穹，那么《未来学大会》则是“内卷”版的《星际穿越》，它试图征服的是人类无法真正抵达的心理世界。
If Interstellar Crossing is the great sky that humans have been able to conquer because of their emotions, the Congress of the Future is the version of Interstellar Crossing , which seeks to conquer the psychological world that humanity cannot truly reach.
这也是被众多影迷吐槽的地方，在感知方式与体验形式能自由选择，在生存与生活不受束缚能任意改变的幻象世界中，理性还能战胜感性么？
It's also a place for fans to say, "Strong" is free to choose in the form of perception and experience, and can reason prevail in a world of illusions where survival and life can change at will without constraints? " /strang"
很难，普通人很难像罗宾·怀特那样，即使成为《3R战警》里那样的机器人女战士，也能惩恶扬善成为英雄。
It is difficult for ordinary people, like Robin White, even to become robotic female soldiers like the 3Rs, to punish evil and to promote good and to become heroes.
这样的故事简化，是一种偷懒的行为，但未尝不可，不过确实做得过于直白单一了一些。
Such a simplified story is a form of laziness, but it has not been possible, although it is a little too straightforward and a little more monolithic.
《未来学大会》想要通过这种方式，为观众创造视觉幻境，代入其中并为之动容，既感慨演员辉煌生涯的黯淡落幕，也悲伤于母子之间的深情。
In this way, the Congress of the Future seeks to create visual illusions for the audience, to be inserted into them and to be moved into them, both in the light of the bleak end of an actor's brilliant career and in the grief of the mother and son.
悲哀的元叙事
{\bord0\shad0\alphaH3D}The sad narrative
抛开其科幻的设定，《未来学大会》毕竟讲的还是人类自身的故事，但要拍好确实不容易。
Beyond its science fiction, the Congress of the Future, after all, is about the story of humanity itself, but it is not easy to shoot well.
除了提供非凡的视觉体验外，主人公距离观众还是略微有些遥远，就如莱姆的《索拉里斯星》一样晦涩难懂，拒人千里之外。
In addition to providing an extraordinary visual experience, the host is a little far away from the audience, which is as obscure as Rem's Solaris Star, a distance away.
于是，作为导演的阿里·福尔曼将这种超越性的文本转换成通俗易懂的亲情故事，马克斯·李希特深情悠扬的配乐再度将煽情进行到底。
Thus, Ali Foreman, as director, converted this transcendent text into an easy-to-understand love story, and the passionate choreography of Max Licht once again went to the end.
这种方式在诸多的科幻电影中屡见不鲜，但《未来学大会》没有走向彻底的通俗，少了3D特效与现实生活的照应，它也拒绝了大场面与动作戏的加入，取而代之的是对人性的关照。
This approach is common in many sci-fi films, but the Congress of the Future does not move to complete generalization, with 3D special effects and real-life attention missing. It also rejects the big scene and action scenes and replaces them with the strong's care for humanity .
在令人悲哀的元叙事模式下，《未来学大会》试图突破的方式，也是通过操纵观者，以动画展示幻觉，以知觉体验为情感添砖加瓦，从而形成了一种影片内外有趣的互文关系。
Under the sad narrative model, the Congress of the Future tries to break through, and also by manipulating viewers,
在罗宾·怀特参加的人类学大会上，科技新贵如同教皇般将人们聚集在一起，他们为新发明振臂高呼，为所谓的美好未来而狂喜。
At the Anthropological Congress attended by Robin White, the new treasures of science and technology brought people together like Popes, who shouted for their new inventions and rejoiced for the so-called better future.
如今的我们，被各个电子屏幕支配，为EDG夺冠欢呼，和虚拟偶像结婚，购入虚拟货币，最终我们会走向美好新世界吗？
Today, we are dominated by various electronic screens, cheering for the EDG crowning, marrying virtual idols, buying virtual money, and finally, are we going to be in a better and new world?
人类即将面临的世界，是技术到达一定程度后人性的进一步追逐，是对乌托邦世界的终极追求。
The world that humanity is about to face is a further quest for humanity when technology reaches a certain level and the ultimate quest for the utopian world.
但这种乌托邦，终究只是理想的形态，它的本质是拒绝承认反乌托邦的合理性，《未来学大会》已经证明了这一点。
But this utopian is, in the end, only an ideal form, the essence of which is a refusal to recognize anti-utopian legitimacy , as demonstrated by the Congress of Futures.
生物技术与生命科学的议题早在世纪初就被广泛讨论，“元宇宙”的突然爆红，互联网时代也即将迭代创新，人类社会在一场全球性流行病的摧残下势必会加速产业调整。
The topics of biotechnology and life sciences were discussed extensively at the beginning of the century, with the sudden explosion of the meta-cosmos and the impending innovation of the Internet age, and with the destruction of a global epidemic, human society is bound to accelerate industrial restructuring.
就像人性无法控制般地走向贪婪，技术最终是否也会一样将所有人困囚于牢笼之中？
As humanity moves beyond control towards greed, will technology end up keeping everyone in a cage?
这一切，暂时都没有答案。
There is no answer to all of this for the time being.
