Amazon Studios’ new movie Bliss seems like a story designed to start arguments. Coincidentally released the same weekend as Rodney Ascher’s A Glitch In the Matrix, a documentary about people who authentically believe the world is some form of artificial simulation, Bliss explores the fictional side of that same idea. It opens with an ordinary businessman, Greg Wittle (played by Owen Wilson) struggling at his job, because he has visions of a much more beautiful and compelling one. Shortly after a severe problem at work, he meets a woman named Isabel (Salma Hayek) who tells him he’s one of the few real people in a largely illusory world. She introduces him to the power he has over the world around him, and draws him into a more chaotic and carefree life.
