In the ending of the movie Player One, Liddy told Wade that he was not a reincarnation of Halliday, but also said that Halliday was really dead.

After Wade's character " Parsifal " in the game received the Easter egg, he asked " Halliday " in the virtual world," You're not Halliday's incarnation, are you?" The answer he got was " No ". Then he asked if Halliday was really dead, and the answer he got was yes. Finally, Parsifal asked him," Who are you?" "Halliday" didn't answer his question. I wanted to know who this "Halliday" was.

Answer 1

What did it mean when Liddy told Wade that he wasn't Halliday's incarnation, but also said that Halliday was really dead?

Answer: In the ending of the movie Player One, Liddy told Wade that he was not a clone of Halliday, which meant that he was a fictional character and not the real player Halliday. However, he also said that Halliday was really dead, which meant that his character in the game had died and could not continue to exist in the game. This implied that there was a connection between the virtual reality world described in the movie and the real world, and the characters played by the players in the movie might also have a certain degree of influence in the real world.
