EP7. Beyond the Aquila Rift
I've watched the seventh episode now. The amount of information in this episode is so great that I can't stop thinking about it. I've watched it three or four times, haha.
The point that there are three people on the boat is very interesting. I think it can be understood as the human subconscious, that is, the ego, the id, and the superego. Encyclopedia says: "Id" (completely subconscious) represents desire, suppressed by consciousness; "ego" (mostly conscious) is responsible for dealing with real world affairs; "superego" (partly conscious) is conscience or inner moral judgment.
The interesting thing is that the characters in the short film are in a dormant state and interact with aliens, which means that "awakening" has two layers of concepts. The first layer is to wake up in a dream created by aliens, and the second layer is to wake up from the dormant state. wake up.
The first time in the film (in a dream) waking up may not actually be the first time in the real sense, because Tom did not wake up the black brother, which may represent the first subconscious (self) represented by the black brother. ) had woken up and had seen the real face of the space station, but failed to accept the impact of the facts and collapsed. Then he woke up as the id (in a dream) on behalf of the captain, followed his inner desire and accepted the "entertainment" of the alien, but another subconscious (superego) kept reminding him as Suzy, so in the end he The truth is chosen, and there is no doubt that it will collapse. Lose.
So in the end, Tom didn't know how many times when he woke up again, there were no two teammates around, but he woke up in the middle, once Suzy's (superego) sleeping cabin, the self represented by the black brother on the left It was gone, and the superego on the right was covered up, so I understood that Tom's id and superego finally reached an agreement, chose to follow desire, and stayed in the dream woven by aliens.
Another point about the shape of aliens seems to be quite particular. At the time of writing this article, the concept of short films was a bit inclined towards Inception, so I was going to use the word dream implanting for alien skills, and the result was dream weaving. ), all at once, haha, no wonder the aliens look like spiders.
After reading it again, the brain hole is really a brain hole, it can't stand scrutiny... It turns out that there are two rows of dormant compartments in the spacecraft... Hahahaha.
However, the black brother and Suzy always appeared in his dreams as his subconscious. When only Tom was still in the camera among the last three people, it was probably the moment when the captain chose to compromise.
