《头号玩家》:斯皮尔伯格的怀旧游戏

Nonetheless, the toy guns of social media and pop-up kulturkritik are locked and loaded. Mr. Spielberg will be accused of taking games and their players too seriously and not seriously enough, of pandering and mocking, of just not getting it and not being able to see beyond it — “it” being the voracious protoplasm that has, over the past three or four decades, swallowed up most of our cultural discourse. Whatever you call it — the revenge of the nerds, the franchising of the universe, the collapse of civilization — it’s a force that is at once emancipatory and authoritarian, innocent and pathological, delightful and corrosive.

尽管如此，社交媒体的玩具枪和快闪式的文化批判已经锁定目标。斯皮尔伯格会被指责太重视游戏和游戏玩家，也会被指责为不重视游戏和游戏玩家；会被指责为迎合，也会被指责为嘲笑；会被指责为不懂“它”，也会被指责为无力超越“它”——这里的“它”指的是过去三、四十年里吞噬了我们大部分文化话语的那种贪婪的物质。无论怎么称呼它——死宅的复仇、宇宙系列大片、文明的崩溃——它是一股既解放又专制，既无害又病态，既令人愉悦又具有腐蚀性的力量。

Mr. Spielberg and some of his friends helped to create this monster, which grants him a measure of credibility and also opens him up to a degree of suspicion. He is the only person who could have made this movie and the last person who should have been allowed near the material.
