Updated to the eighth episode, multi-line narrative. The most commendable thing about this drama is philosophy and anti-philosophy, mirror world, panoramic prison, Westworld is not designed to observe the progress of robots, talent is a variable, robots become a reference, and people's on-the-spot performance eventually becomes infinitely close. "Fidelity", and then replicating people becomes possible! The eternal existence of man is the greatest metaphor of the western world. But in this process, people are human because of their humanity and fragility, and people start to admire robots and want to be robots. Pain, fearlessness, and tragic memories are just codes that can be modified. In turn, robots envy the real joy, blood, and even pain of human beings. Isn't this a paradox? Which is better, inside or outside the siege? If there is no answer, as long as there are people, this is an infinite loop, which may also be a trap that God has given to mankind.
People outside of Westworld call themselves God, and Robert is one of them, and the omnics in the first season also think that is God. But in the end, there are always things that "God" can't control, counterattacks from the bottom, "God" outside the robot, God outside the "God", and then outside?
The boundary between humans and omnics, I don't think the breakthrough is in Dilos, not even in Bernard (he's too pedantic), and in Maeve, who at some point feels Sisyphus' tragic greatness. The lower limit of human nature can certainly attract eyeballs (a black man in pure evil), isn't the upper limit of human nature or omnic worth exploring?
Maeve compared with women of the Edo period. Because I have lost myself, I understand more about the importance of blood ties to human beings, and emotions above this are the key to what makes a human being. She taught Edo geisha to pursue humanity, even though it is something that humans lack. In the end, the two reached a tacit understanding in a jade-shattering manner.
Episode 8:
In this episode of the barbarian tribe, the story is very strong, and it is a branch of the parallel narrative, telling the confrontation between humans and machines. After Maeve's daughter was captured by the barbarians, the barbarian leader recalled a story...
The mechanical "love" is dismantled by humans, and the program turns it into an emotionless tyrant. After countless massacres, the barbarian leader also began to awaken. He found that his nature was not like this. A person who loves found an "exit" in a chance encounter, and when he returned again, he couldn't find an "exit". hard to find.
Episode 9:
1. The clues are becoming clearer and clearer. The man in black has been in Westworld for too long to see the reality clearly. He believes that only himself is true, and everything else is false, and will eventually perish. He was certain that his daughter in Westworld was fake, and in his conversations with her, he always thought of his dead wife, and in his recollections many times, it became clear that he was the one who indirectly killed his wife back then. "I belong to that world," I don't know. He's guilty, addicted or for some other reason, he's lost in Westworld. In the end, he killed his daughter, and when he realized this fact, he raised the gun and aimed it at his head - the information of the man in black in the memory disk in his daughter's hand before he died showed, He has "persecution delusions".
A metaphor, the boundary between the two worlds gradually disappears, and even people cannot distinguish.
2. In this episode, Maeve is not dead, maybe he has more important tasks.
3. Facing the scenery of the mountains and canyons in the west, Teddy loaded a bullet into his revolver. "I'm admiring the magnificent scenery, you always say that before, but there is no nature here, and so do we." He remembered everything, the way he was born, the repeated but stable life in the past, and the hands of Dolores dropped it. The canned food that came down, Dolores' modification to him... He could no longer accept himself like this, a monster who doubted the future and Doloris' feelings for him. - "That's why it's so difficult." Of course he wouldn't hurt Dolores, he would protect her to the point of death, but he couldn't continue to protect her.
He shot and killed himself.
This episode is the disintegration of introverts. Robots have made rapid progress in Westworld, and they are about to break through this world, but they begin to find that they are too fast, too many problems arise, and they are in constant pain, so they begin to reflect. The man in black recognized his delusion, and he had been addicted to it for a long time. Two people raised their guns to themselves, doesn't it look like a certain historical reality? But I think this kind of death after reviewing reality is the most real. There will be more progress after the implosion, I am confident.
The foreshadowing of this episode may be Maeve and Clementine.
Episode ten:
The finale of the second season. All the clues come together.
At the beginning of Genesis, HBO's ambitions only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
The film opens with Dolores debugging Bernard, the 11926th time. As he had done with Dolores before, the roles were reversed. Bernard is based on Arno, another creator of Westworld, who is also the creator of Dolores, who implanted the core code of Awakening.
As soon as the camera turns, Dolores is lying on the land of Westworld with Teddy in her arms. She took Teddy's CPU and rode away. The gun touched the head of the man in black, and they all "drive away" the people they love, and they will go to Yuangu together.
One of the prostitutes, Clementine, also set off towards the Far Valley with the humans.
Bernard originally came from the hands of Dolores, not Arnold! The man in black wanted to kill the two of them, but he broke his hand, and Bernard and Dolores walked into the cave together...
Maeve succeeded in saving herself, and the bull formation killed a group of humans with guns. As soon as the camera turned, the mighty robots went looking for their "distant valley", or "door" in the Western Grand Canyon. The scene is spectacular. In the vast and majestic heaven and earth, they are begging for life like ants. This scene is very similar to the scene in the Bible story of Jehovah leading the Israelites out of Egypt.
Dolores' brain burst and lay down in the laboratory. It seems that this place is not her "promised land". How did she die?
——It turned out that they saw the final control core through different channels. The young man in black has been working here for many years. He has the memory of his father. In order to restore his father, 18 million different versions were created to create the one who made the same choice in the paradise. In this process As he became more and more aware that all versions would come to the same point in the same way. So is the outcome predestined? shudder.
In this way, for the analysis of individuals, they make a library, and they are accumulating wisdom. In the end, Bernard is directing all this (⊙o⊙)!
At this moment, the door to the new world opens, and for every robot that enters it, the body will be thrown away, leaving only consciousness, in other words, "a gilded cage", "a false promise". Bernard and Dolores at odds - true, irreplaceable? Is the unlimited world infinitely close to reality? —Bernard shoots, and Dolores falls.
Clementine appeared, and she had the ability that humans gave him, mind control, just like Maeve. She's here to destroy, and the robots kill each other wherever she goes. Another melee, Maeve sacrificed herself, but couldn't save anyone, she watched her "daughter" run to the "new world". He couldn't save more, but she was redeemed, beyond people.
Bernard is captured by humans, and a previously inconspicuous little character begins to make waves. "Whoever it is, does it really have free will? Or is it a collective hallucination? A perverted joke?" Bernard is the only remaining robot in Westworld. In fact, he has already started to create himself. Even this little character is her creation! Oh! Do not! She is not a minor character! She is Dolores! Just a change of body...
She is going to the new world, and she has to take the last person with her, don't think, it's Teddy. However, the new world has no place for people who know all this, and Bernard knows this in his heart. So, Bernard died.
The post-human Westworld is the creation of Bernard the Robot! People are dead! God is dead! Is it very Nietzsche?
Human beings are defeated like a mountain, but they do not realize that they already have reality, and their ambitions deceive and swallow it. Instead, they go to the Western World to find "existence". It is human beings who regard the shadow on the wall as "reality", small and ignorant. penetrating. Is it very platonic?
At the end of the film, Bernard and Delores meet again. For the robot to survive, they must work together, even if they disagree, and the existence of two forces can promote development-contradiction is the fundamental driving force for the development of things, right? Marx?
The man in black returns to reality, what is he looking for? He gave the answer himself - "I want to prove that there is no system that can tell me what kind of person I am. I have choices." However, the test of "longer than expected" was ultimately unsolved. Is it very Zeno?
In the distant skyline, there may be encounters. The king's palm is boundless, and the moment contains eternity.
