Emotional entanglements between professors, female students, and male students

The film "The Philosopher of Doom" has two clues: the professor's emotions and the philosophical thinking in the face of the apocalypse. I'm mainly talking about what the story and the professor's emotions express through the game.
The first is to graduate. The relationship between the professor and the student is the last lesson. The implication is that the relationship with the female student has to come to a conclusion. There is no conclusion about the outcome. Student, let her make a choice that is beneficial to the professor, and at the same time, she wants to achieve her own revenge through the result of the mentally retarded man she designed.
Second, the last lesson contains the professor's jealousy and inability to grasp the feelings of the female and male students. The hidden feelings cannot be expressed or chosen publicly. They torture the male students with the set roles, and use the results to prove that the male and female students are not suitable. , so as to possess the heroine emotionally.
The third is when the students are not interested in the proposition, the professor uses the position of the decision maker of the scores to coerce the students to participate in the activity, and carry out the torture and teasing of men and the game of trying to separate men and women contained in the interpretation of the philosophical proposition to the end. Three games, the professor doesn't care about the lives and deaths of other students.
Fourth, there is indeed a hint in the proposition from the beginning. The doomsday game designed by the professor's own logic reflects the professor's inner struggle. Even his feelings for women are like the end of the day, looking forward to using his own way. Or get the results of your relationship with a woman according to your own wishes. The game implies that the professor's dominant power, the master of the password, and the rejection of the professor, and the result is death, are just hints for the female student to let her compromise in the professor's will. The professor believes that the goal has been achieved, and the final shot is eating bread;
fifth, the students put forward a second request to replay the game and choose in a rational way. Although the professor has also become the selected person, he is the destroyer. Those who create threats and confusion end up dying together. This is not the result the professor wants, and it proves that reason cannot save humanity or teach itself, nor can it fulfill the professor's wishes, and the expression at the end is the result of suicide.
Sixth, the game was designed emotionally according to the woman's wishes, which fully expressed the woman's objection and resistance to the professor's emotions. Although the result is also destroyed, but the woman's own choice, the professor can not grasp. The implication is that the professor cannot get the results he expects. Although men and women have also failed, the choice of women makes the professor tangled.
Finally, at the end of the course, students have a new understanding and sublimation of philosophy and life. After finishing the last lesson and saying goodbye to the middle school days, the grades are no longer important, and the professors no longer care about the rights of the students. The students silently left the professors.
The woman understands the inner workings of the professor, because they already have a relationship, the dialogue between the woman and the professor is easier to understand and break up. It also proves that the professor used his right to give the woman an A+ score, and the woman no longer cared.
The professor finally reluctantly faced the reality. The last scene was to let go of his heart and accept the reality.
This film has many clues and ambiguous emotions. It is necessary to separate the intertwined things in order to deeply understand the meaning that the director wants to express. This film is actually an interpretation of an emotional journey.

After the Dark quotes

  • Mr. Zimit: Do you know what apocalypse actually means?

    Petra: Tell me.

    Mr. Zimit: It's from the Greek "apokálypsis", meaning to uncover what you couldn't see before... a way out of the dark.

    Petra: Your sweet talk still needs work.

  • Toby: Junk the ancient rules of thought / by which our predecessors fought / Their clashing minds did throw a spark / that scorched the world and wreaked the dark / Let no science fix our path / if only numbers make its math / Our brains will run, we'll surely see, / on some sweeter philosophy / Until beneath a quiet sky / atop the rubble we will stand / and finally demystify / the message in fate's reprimand / Even an atomic blast / can't rub the future from the past / If with incinerated grace / we still become the human race.
