Enter: The Void -2009-

And the lights. My god, the lights.

We don't watch Oscar. We are Oscar. The camera is a ghost. And for two and a half hours, we float. If you haven’t seen Enter the Void , you have no reference for its visual language. Noé famously shot the entire film from a first-person POV, but not like a video game. The camera hovers, swoops through walls, zooms across the city skyline, and peers into the windows of strangers.

There are movies you watch. And then there are movies that happen to you .

It is too long. It is repetitive. It is emotionally manipulative. By the time the final shot arrives (a cosmic, uterine zoom that will leave you speechless), you may feel less like you’ve watched a movie and more like you’ve survived a haunting.

Noé uses the camera not just to see, but to remember . As Oscar floats toward the light (a recurring, terrifyingly bright white void), his mind flashes back to his childhood, his parents’ death, and the incestuous boundaries of his relationship with his sister. Why is the movie called Enter the Void ? It’s a reference to The Tibetan Book of the Dead , which describes the Bardo —the intermediate state between death and rebirth.

Tokyo is rendered as a cyberpunk womb. Every surface bleeds red, blue, and green. The title sequence alone—a strobe-lit, abstract explosion of the alphabet—comes with a literal warning for epileptics. This is a movie that hates the dark. It is garish, loud, and aggressively ugly in the way that a car crash is ugly. But it is also achingly beautiful.

But the movie doesn't end. It begins.

From the moment the bullet hits, Oscar’s spirit (or consciousness) detaches from his corpse. Bound by a promise to protect his sister, Linda (a stripper at a club called "The Void"), Oscar’s ghost drifts, omnisciently, through the neon-lit streets and claustrophobic apartments of Tokyo.

In an era of sanitized, algorithm-driven content, Gaspar Noé made a film that is raw, bleeding, and utterly human. It asks the big questions: What happens when we die? What do we leave behind? Is love just a chemical reaction, or is it the only thread that ties us to Earth?

But that is precisely why it is a masterpiece.

Do not watch Enter the Void on a laptop. Do not watch it with your parents. Do not watch it if you are feeling sad or unstable. But if you have a good sound system, a dark room, and a curious soul? Press play.

You will either turn it off in 20 minutes, or you will emerge from the other side a fundamentally different person. There is no middle ground. The plot is deceptively simple: Oscar, a small-time American drug dealer living in the chaotic, pulsating heart of Tokyo, is shot dead by police during a botched sting operation.

Gaspar Noé’s 2009 psychedelic odyssey, Enter the Void , is not a film. It is a 161-minute panic attack wrapped in a neon shroud of Tibetan philosophy. Watching it for the first time feels like being strapped into a rollercoaster designed by a mad philosopher who just injected liquid LSD directly into your optic nerve.

Microsoft's newest file system, the Resilient File System (ReFS) has experienced many improvements. Designed to maximize data availability, effectively scale large data sets across diverse workloads and deliver data integrity through resiliency to corruption. It aims to deal with an expanding set of storage scenarios and establish a foundation for future innovations.

Resiliency and Scalability

ReFS possesses a number of new features which can accurately detect corruptions and mend those corruptions while still remaining online, aiding in delivering improved integrity and availability for your data.

  • Integrity-streams Checksums are used for metadata and data. This gives ReFS the ability to reliably catch corruptions.
  • Salvaging data Repair processes are localized to the area of corruption and performed online. This means no volume downtime will be required.
  • Proactive error correction As well as validating data prior to reads and writes, ReFS introduces a scrubber (a data integrity scanner). This scrubber periodically scans the volume, detecting latent corruptions and proactively putting repairs of corrupt data into motion.

Scalability

ReFS is designed to support humungous data sets (possibly millions of terabytes) without it having a negative impact performance, allowing it to achieve a greater scale than previous file systems.

Performance

ReFS not only provides resiliency improvement, but it also introduces new features for performance-sensitive and virtualized workloads. Real-time tier optimization, sparse VDL and block cloning are great examples of the evolving capabilities of ReFS, which are designed to support dynamic and diverse workloads: enter the void -2009-

Mirror-accelerated parity This feature provides blazing fast performance in addition to capacity efficient storage for your data.

ReFS delivers this by dividing a volume into two logical storage groups, known as tiers. Each of these tiers can possess their own drive and resiliency types, enabling each tier to optimize for either performance or capacity. Examples of configurations include: And the lights

Performance Tier Capacity Tier
Mirrored SSD Mirrored HDD
Mirrored SSD Parity SSD
Mirrored SSD Parity HDD

After these tiers are configured, ReFS uses them to provide super-fast and capacity efficient storage for hot data and cold data respectively:

  • All writes will occur in the performance tier and big blocks of data that are left in the performance tier will be efficiently and effectively moved to the capacity tier in real-time.
  • Accelerated VM operations ReFS features new functionalities specifically designed to improve the performance of virtualized workloads. Block cloning accelerates copy operations enabling quick low-impact checkpoint merge operations. With Sparse VDL, ReFS can zero files rapidly, lowering the amount of time needed to create fixed VHDs from tens of minutes to just a few seconds.
  • Variable cluster sizes ReFS supports 4K and 64K cluster sizes. 4K is the size recommended for the majority of deployments, however 64K cluster are more appropriate for massive, sequential IO workloads.
