A city is a lonely planet

The image of the city

does not change with the transformation of the object space . Its emotional meaning can be strengthened

under the sense of distance in time and space. The city space serves as the carrier of the event to witness the passage of the event and record the existence of the event in the form of a street name. The death and degeneration of the parties involved all imply the collapse of the image of a city. Those metaphorical street boundary area nodes and markers will no longer exist, and the spiritual image endowed by the city will also be abstracted from the shape of the city, along with the residents. The images of people coming and going are constantly being reshaped , and the images of multiple events constitute the public emotions of urban residents. When the original city image is broken, confusion and strangeness will follow one after another .

Dark City quotes

  • [Murdoch opens the door to what should be Shell Beach and instead sees the same sign he saw earlier advertising it. Murdoch walks up to the sign, confused]

    Dr. Schreber: There is no ocean, John. There is nothing beyond the city. The only place home exists... is in your head.

    [Chuckles a bit at the irony]

    Dr. Schreber: [Murdoch and Inspector Bumstead tear the sign from the wall, exposing bricks. They then begin to hammer at the bricks with pickaxes]

    Dr. Schreber: No! No! John, stop! No! Stop! Please! No!

    [Bumstead and Murdoch reach a soft spot in the bricks and begin to pry at it. John, frustrated, uses his tuning to push away the brick wall. What results is the bricks falling away exposing space, almost sucking Bumstead out and showing the bricks crashing against the ship's newly exposed forcefield. Murdoch and Bumstead stand there, stunned. Meanwhile, a group of aliens walks in from behind them]

    John Murdoch: What?

    Mr. Hand: And now you know the truth.

    [Fight ensues]

  • Mr. Hand: It seems you have discovered your unpleasant nature.
