Chapter 666 is a reflection of reality

This is the first time Julia Roberts and Gilbert have collaborated since 1991's "Captain Hook", and 15 years have passed.

During these fifteen years, Gilbert Jr. quickly grew from a young man just starting out to a world-class, even cross-century super director.

Julia Roberts has slowly slipped from the position of Hollywood's top actress, which makes people sigh at the ruthless passage of time.

Julia Roberts' guest appearance in "Edgewalker" was quite a surprise.

Because beforehand, the audience didn't know about Julia Roberts' guest appearance. The crew didn't mention it, and Julia Roberts didn't reveal it.

In the first episode, "Edgewalker" focuses on the dystopian world of Night City, while explaining the role of prostheses to the audience based on TV news in the elevator and the lines of passers-by.

Johnny was very excited when he saw this. He said excitedly to his friend Paul, "Man, if I had a powerful prosthetic body, I could rob a bank and never have to go to work again."

"But Johnny," Paul reminded, "Although prosthetics can enhance human functions, they can also lead to cyberpsychosis. Didn't you see the Mewtwo that David saw? Psychopaths can become terrible murderers."

Johnny didn't take it seriously: "That's great, the scary cyber killer, a cool nickname."

Paul shook his head speechlessly, but he was also very curious. If prosthetics could be implanted in real life like in the TV series, what would the scene be like?
He doesn't have to imagine, because this series will tell him what kind of world this is.

Compared to the prosthesis, Peter, an amateur online film critic, is more interested in Mewtwo. Judging from the performance in the series, Mewtwo can make people feel everything that happens at a certain moment.

Although cinemas are developing, the North American cinema market has long been close to saturation. After so many years of development in overseas markets, there are very few areas where growth can be achieved.

Some film scholars have even predicted that one day in the future movies will become a thing of the past, and finding new ways to make movies is something that film companies and the technology industry need to consider.

The industry generally believes that the next development direction is virtual reality technology, which is very similar to Mewtwo in the TV series. However, Mewtwo seems to be more advanced and more exciting.

What is the data of Night City? The series shows it to the audience through the comparison of two scenes.

As the plot continues to develop, it turns out that the Super Dream video David watched was exactly the scene of a cyber psychopath having a seizure and killing someone yesterday.

This cyber spirit is not a captain, and the military chip implanted in his back is missing. David sees the footage on the news and discovers that his mother is also on the news as an emergency worker.

"You should go to school, David. My tuition is not paid for in vain." Mom sent David away and called a mercenary named Mann.

It turned out that the military chip of the cyber madman yesterday was in the mother's hand. In order to let David use the genuine learning software and live a good life, the mother took the risk to steal the chip.

Unlike now, the mother and son can only live in a small apartment and can't even afford a washing machine because the washing machine belongs to the company and needs to pay to use it.

The series then uses David's perspective to show where the mother and son live. The apartment corridor is filled with homeless vagrants and mentally disturbed drug addicts can be seen everywhere on the streets.

This scene of chaos and rioting is shown through Gilbert's camera language, without any explanation from the protagonist, in order to show what kind of world this is.

Those who grew up in the slums and are watching this series will definitely feel deeply touched, because this is not the imagination of little Gilbert, but a real portrayal of the slums in North America.

Unlike the public intellectuals on the other side of the Pacific Ocean who imagine this place to be a paradise, this place is indeed a paradise, but it is also a hell at the same time.

Therefore, "Edgewalker" is more of a reflection of the real world than an imagination of the future world.

There are many ways to tell a great story, and Edgewalker tells this story to the audience through the language of the camera.

David was used to all kinds of chaos on the street, and he calmly got on the rail train. Through the train window, a rocket was being launched in the distance, and the trauma team's hovercraft was quickly rushing to a burning building. The tall buildings were magnificent, and luxurious hovercrafts shuttled through them. There were also various holographic image advertisements, etc., which was completely different from the world of the slums just now.

Alex is a street kid from Queens, New York, who had a dream of making movies after watching a movie by Gilbert Jr.

With the encouragement of the girl next door, Valerie, he bravely came to Los Angeles to pursue his dream.

Now, almost three years have passed, and Alex is finally able to play some small roles and was signed by a new agent at Super Artist Management.

So Alex took Valerie from Brooklyn, New York to his apartment in North Los Angeles and proposed to her. Due to the conditions, the wedding was very simple.

However, Alex promised that he would give Valerie a better wedding in the future.

Valerie feels very happy. She works as a shopping guide at a Walmart supermarket in Los Angeles and continues to support Alex in pursuing his dream.

When “EdgeWalker” premiered, the couple was watching the show in their North Los Angeles apartment.

Both of them felt strongly when they saw the contrast between the prosperous areas and the slums of Night City.

Alex sighed, "I have always envied the elites in Wall Street and Manhattan since I was a child. They wear suits and ties, are famous and surrounded by people, have luxury cars to serve them, and have villas in Long Island.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

I can only live in the slums of Queens like my mother, which is full of criminals, drugs and violence. "

Valerie comforted him, "Alex, now that we have come out of this, we don't have to worry about going back to the life we ​​had before."

"No," Alex said. "We have to work harder and never go back to that kind of life."

Coincidentally, David had the same idea. He got out of the train and stared at the big goldfish made of holographic images. Suddenly, he felt something strange in his neck, and then looked around.

He just happened to see a girl with bright golden hair, wearing clothes of unknown material that revealed her sexy waist, smoking on the overpass not far away, with her back to him.

In the anime, the hair is actually white, but for a live-action series, white hair is a bit too distorted, so the style is bright golden hair.

This was the first appearance of Lucy, played by Scarlett, and she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

David was excited and immediately chased after her to find out what was going on, but the girl had disappeared long ago.

What makes a TV series a good one? Everyone has their own opinion, but emotional resonance is undoubtedly the best way.

Through most of the episode, Gilbert Jr. shows the audience a world where high technology and low life coexist. Through David's perspective, a mysterious corner of Night City is revealed for the first time.

And then, we enter the stage of emotional resonance.

David went to Arasaka School, which was a school that trained talents for Arasaka Company. After graduation, he would sign a lifetime employee contract with Arasaka Company and work there until he died.

How many people desire but cannot achieve, is Arasaka's behavior of treating people like beasts of burden.

Because becoming an employee of Arasaka Company means completing the class leap. But unfortunately, 99.9% of people fell at the door and failed to cross the line.
