Reality in ExistenZ
ExistenZ is a film that primarily engages with our perception of reality. It plays on our perceptions of what reality is, cleverly cultivating a sense of the unknown through subtle distortions of our reality; playing with the medium of film which is, in essence, a suspension of disbelief. ExistenZ uses the knowledge that as a viewer we will accept 'the world of the film' to be a reality because, it is a different world, one artificially created which we can accept to be real.We are initially invited to accept the conditions of the film as we, the viewers, begin the film as spectators watching a scene set in the future, seeing the characters attempting to enter into a virtual reality world, one which we can recognise as unreal. We are then invited to question the reality of this world
