Favorite episode 1, episode 8, episode 9, episode 10
What I liked in the first episode was the change in that miniature world. But I don't want to talk about it more, this is a wonderful brain hole, it reminds me of the refrigerator civilization in Love Dead. The first episode is actually a continuation of the style of the previous four seasons, needless to say.
From the eighth to the tenth episode, I felt a kind of emotional clue that runs through the entire Morty Rick world, a kind of inner search, which made me unable to help looking for details from the various fragments in front of me and trying to stitch them together A complete past and future of c137. Grandpa has always made people unable to see through his heart. He kills the Quartet in every episode. He is omnipotent, as if he doesn't care about anything. He laughs at everything and sees through everything. But episodes 8 through 10 restore him to a living person, exploring the contemplation of intimacy between people.
Episode 8, It's Friends. Wake up former friends from countless fragments of getting along, and meet former self. I sometimes wonder whether we love our friend, whether we love this person, or we love ourselves with this person, and love our past condensed into this person. No matter how many parallel worlds there are, there is only this birdman, who has been fighting side by side with my grandfather, starting a band together, and taking revenge together. I saw him find a female liar to marry and have children, and he saw me find a fake family to live in, even if we gradually separated , Gradually live independent lives of each other, but we understand each other's original appearance and the truest truth.
I fully understand my grandfather's determination to jump in the undercurrent of consciousness in order to save his friend, presenting a picture of a decisive heroic rescue, giving the whole story a tragic tone.
The most exciting thing is at the end, the Birdman came back to life, but the grandfather lost this friend, achieving a sense of absurdity in which both completeness and brokenness exist at the same time. Some people explore the ending, whether grandpa knew from the beginning that Birdman had a child, or just saw it in Birdman's consciousness, this is not really important, the important thing is that this friend is destined to be lost, and grandpa saved the friend's life. , still can not change the fate of being alone. This is the essence of life. We long for all intimate relationships, but we cannot avoid misunderstandings, mistrust, selfishness, and differences brought about by different life choices. Therefore, intimacy is strong and fragile. one strike.
The ninth and tenth episodes are self. Do we really need intimacy? Can the other person in an intimate relationship be replaced? Is intimacy a bondage to oneself?
In the ninth episode, Grandpa made an attempt to leave the intimacy of dependence. He chose two crows to prove the substitutability of each other in an intimate relationship. The cooperation of the crows made his adventure very smooth, and the crows would not betray him under the control of his interests. They rode the coolest aircraft, Wear the coolest gear, use the coolest weapons, and go on an adventure of his own accord, with no one talking, no one arguing, no one holding back. It takes ten seconds to end an episode (grandpa's own spit hahaha). In the face of Morty's retention, he is rational and sober. He will stop and care about whether Morty is injured or not, and express his love as a grandfather, as if his love and righteousness are exhausted, but he refuses the proposal of reconciliation and wants to live a smart and independent life. This passage can be seen as Rick's departure from intimacy. There are many shadows of the unbundling and splitting of real intimacy. For example, children and parents who have grown up, husband and wife who have been married for many years, a man who resolutely left to find himself. People, a person who stays in the past and never forgets.
But by the tenth episode, we can see how easily the bond between the grandpa and the crow is established, and how easy it is to disintegrate. Intimacy is not necessarily irreplaceable, but it must be difficult to re-establish. We often misunderstand what intimacy means to us. Just like the ninth episode, the grandfather who said goodbye to Morty thought that they were just adventurous partners. The partner can be chosen, and you can choose a partner who is more cooperative, smarter, and more consistent with his own intentions, thinking that he is independent Those who exist, think their self-consciousness is indestructible. But in the tenth episode, in the face of the unusual intimacy between the crow and the scarecrow, the three toothbrushes (a suggestion of cohabitation), Grandpa felt dazzling. It's very comedic here, but it can't hide the true heart. The intimacy we long for is not just cooperation of interests, but intimate, exclusive, and only true love. We long to be recognized by each other as the only irreplaceable one. But we selfishly hope that the other party can be replaced.
As Evil Morty pointed out, the person who cannot leave this intimate relationship is Grandpa himself. Except Morty, no one can accept his arrogance like this, rely on his strength, forgive his betrayal, and never give up at critical moments. The one who pays is never the one who cannot be separated, but the one who is pampered. It's a bit of a cliché analogy, like those who cheated and turned back, but I remember seeing someone say somewhere that all intimacy is similar to love. I think the metaphor of love is sometimes really appropriate. The grandfather who cheated and turned back went too smoothly. Morty's aging is reversible, and the rest of the family has not changed. Morty's words in the bar are just lies. As long as he turns back, everything will immediately return to the starting point.
But the reappearance of Evil Morty and Ruicheng means that peace is but a phantom. Episode 10 looks at this intimacy from Morty's point of view. The two Mortys in this episode represent Morty's two choices for this intimate relationship. One is the encounter between Morty and Rick in Ruicheng, which symbolizes that Morty really knows everything about Rick, so He later chose to help Rick remove the plank from his body, and chose to leave Ruicheng hand in hand with Rick, which represented that he truly accepted Rick's broken past, accepted Rick's use of deception, and truly forgave Rick. They will continue this close relationship, like many couples in life in movies, on-off, on-off, noisy, imperfect, fluffy (that whole capsule Morty, bottom Morty needs to be resolved) but Still going together.
The other is the complete departure of the evil Morty. Instead of running away from home like the ninth episode of Rick, it's a complete goodbye and never looking back. Destroy the entire past, travel through layers of dangerous and gorgeous wormholes, see a brand new galaxy, a brand new universe, pull out a teleporter gun, and open a golden teleportation circle belonging to Morty. new life begins. be yourself.
Evil Morty looks no worse than Rick, he's smart, he's strong, he's confident, he also has advanced equipment, and he has a calm attitude. Even the evil Morty in Episode 10 looks stronger than Rick, and he possesses a resolutely cool courage. He saw clearly the bondage of intimacy to him. Many pains and sorrows in the past were caused by Rick's inability to face his own misfortune. Those spiral parallel universes have nothing to do with Morty. Morty was innocent. involved. Evil Morty didn't do anything wrong, he just wanted to leave, just didn't want to be affiliated, it was considered evil, evil morty was Rick's name. I really like the bgm that leaves this universe and travels through the wormhole, saying goodbye to the past and starting a new journey that only belongs to me.
Rick and Morty are perhaps the roles each of us might play in an intimate relationship, sometimes we are Rick, sometimes we are Morty. So at the end of the episode, Mr. Poo Hole said, I hope we have the courage to really love and be loved, instead of duplicity and missing time. I also hope that we have the courage to face the departure of others.
But at the same time, Rick and Morty are two sides of ourselves.
Each of us is Rick, capable of creating, capable of being independent, and feeling that we are incredibly smart and unmatched in the world. We are pretentious, condescending, and see everything around us that is against us as idiots, and we have the only truth of the universe. We pity ourselves, we have a sad past, we indulge our sadness and feel that we deserve the love and forgiveness of the world. We seek freedom, we hate bondage, we have grand plans to achieve, great dreams to pursue. We have an ideal world we want to achieve, for which we are willing to suffer loneliness and not be disturbed by others. But we are also afraid of loneliness, willing to sacrifice for intimacy (the return ring is given to Morty's grandfather in the split world, and the eighth episode is to save the birdman at the risk of losing his sense of self), hoping to have a person who accepts himself wholeheartedly. Rick is everyone's inner self. It's hard for us to say what this self is, whether it's a true hero or a lunatic living in his own world. In this ego we have a whole world of isolation, but maybe we're not doing anything really great, we just want to poop quietly by ourselves.
Each of us is a Morty too. We are cowardly, we are timid, and we need someone to lean on. We run away from reality and want to keep taking risks in various worlds, but we may not be able to do anything, do the wrong thing, and always need someone to tell the truth. We are wretched, we have lust, we want to indulge ourselves in lust (sperm and incest baby in episode 4) and we give up on ourselves. But sometimes there's also some faint sense of justice and romance. A vulgar man full of flaws. Morty is also our ego, something we have to admit, but a bit of disgust with that part of.
So Rick and Morty are both a metaphor for how people get along, and a metaphor for how we get along with ourselves.
Finally, back to the play itself, the discussion of intimacy and infinite time in episode 8.9.10 actually echoes the infinite time that Monica in episode 1 experienced. Monica in episode 1 was rescued by Morty. The words in the garage seemed like a good ending to the season.
