This is a dark and sad episode.
I put my child to sleep at night and watched this episode while stroking my sore neck. It was really mixed.
In life, only the color of boyhood may be pure and bright, and the rest of the road is really lonely.
Poor boy William, started in Wei Shi. Along the way, I was cautious and strict, demanding myself, studying hard, going to a famous school, entering a big company, working hard, dedicated and serious, and trying to integrate myself into a better and more expensive circle. For a poor boy with excellent grades and high IQ, breaking his own circle requires great courage. Especially for those who are always in a disadvantaged position, but have a glass heart and strong self-esteem, every time they hit a wall and wrestle, as well as face the contempt and ridicule of others, they can endure and keep moving forward, supporting themselves. It is a strong determination and desire to change fate.
He carefully planned and improved his life, and no matter who he saw, he was a good young man who was motivated, hardworking and honest.
He himself thinks so too. Day after day, he thinks that he has evolved well enough to have the ability and confidence to stand with his peers like Logan and Juliet.
On the day he got promoted, he walked into Logan's office in the best suit he thought he could, with a sincere and grateful smile.
However, in both Logan's and Juliet's memories, it's him wearing a ridiculous, cheap, ugly ragged suit with a goofy smile.
He thought he was integrated into the circle, but he was always an outsider.
He thought he was a righteous and kind person, but Rogan saw through his disguise at a glance.
Logan is going to take him to the adventurous Westworld, tear off his serious mask, and see what he looks like. Not worthy of his sister.
Here, William met Dolores and another self in the depths of his soul.
There is no moral judgment here, and there is no need to be in the eyes of the world. At that moment, together with Dolores, William was ignited somewhere in his heart, and the emotions that were suppressed and controlled by reason were completely out of control, and this out of control feeling made him. William has a kind of wanton pleasure. In the outside world, everything he dares not challenge and is unwilling to face, here he can live anew according to his inner thoughts.
The dark side of his heart was thoroughly stimulated. He was regarded by Logan as hypocritical and prudish, and he also realized that no matter how he endured, he would not be able to obtain the approval of the Delos family. He was an obedient and easy-to-use poor boy. , will be kicked away.
He changed from a warm man who dared not kill people and had a moral and clean addiction to a man in black who was black-bellied and murderous.
After the thrill of revenge, seeing Dolores but never remembering him, it turns out that all this is really the setting of the game.
All stories are scripts written by others.
And he wants to lead that story. He does not allow others to orchestrate his life.
He tortured and tortured Logan, and persuaded him to invest in Westworld with the immortality his father-in-law wanted.
All his evil was spilled on the Westworld, and in the outside world, he was a man of great virtuousness, fame, and perfection.
He roams freely between the two worlds. In the real world, he has a decent and successful life. In Westworld, he pours out all his revenge, unhappiness, anger and disappointment here. In the real world, he is still admired by everyone.
Of course, this kind of self-controlling life is very comfortable.
William, who is already in the top position, will still be fettered by his family, bound by responsibilities, trapped by his own ambitions, and suppressed by the complexity and contradictions of life.
And this split life made him doubt his self-identity. Having experienced the cruelty and conspiracy of Westworld, he has the illusion that "there is always a trickster who wants to harm me" to everyone around him in the real world.
Every once-ambitious monarch has come to his old age, especially suspicious and cruel.
How desperate Juliet was before she died.
She was surrounded by hypocrisy since she was a child, and she only wanted truth and warmth. She thought that the poor boy in the ragged suit knew the warmth and value of true feelings best.
But he was more hypocritical and vicious than others.
Whether life is real or pretending, whether it is a hard performance for others to see, or whether it is to truly enjoy life, all only the people around you know best .
What's even more frightening is that he was obviously sick, but everyone, including his own daughter, thought she was sick.
And the source of this family, including her own tragedy, came from her original choice.
She can't let it go on like this. Maybe she can wake up her daughter with death, and her daughter will always pick up her belongings and discover his father's secret. She was just a walking corpse alive.
Emily always felt that her father was the embodiment of Wei Guangzheng, so she always defended her father and looked down on her mother who was alcoholic and had mental problems.
After her mother died, she hoped that there would be a turning point between father and daughter. Even if it was an immortality project, it might be possible to give the dead mother another choice. Emily wanted her parents to have another chance to choose.
But the final scene was very sad.
I've always remembered what Ned taught Bran in the first episode of Game of Thrones.
" If you have to take someone's life, you should at least look him in the eyes and listen to his last words. If you can't do that, then maybe he won't die.
"When you are in charge of the law, you must never take pleasure in killing, and you cannot escape responsibility."
"A ruler who hides behind the scenes and pays the executioner will soon forget what death is."
William has long forgotten what death is, because he did not kill "people", so no matter how bloody, he would not have any conscience.
He killed the security guard and killed his daughter because he thought it was the HOST in the game.
Such William is crazy.
One can only be brave when faced with fear.
The previous William was the eternal winner in Westworld. He had never been afraid, so he had never been brave.
This time, in the face of such a dark self, does he still have the courage to face it?
Dolores thought she could lead the receptionists to the new world, where they would be the first free-choice species.
But she forgot that it was her idea and choice to go to the new world outside.
Not everyone thinks this way, and true freedom should be that everyone has the right to choose their own life.
Teddy woke up.
He stays true to his heart.
"No matter how cruel you are to change me, I can't stop loving you.
"I don't want to be as brutal as they are, I'm still willing to discover the beauty of this world."
Teddy's death is a choice, but also a struggle.
After living in vain for decades, I found that life is a choice that affects another choice, a decision that restrains the direction of another decision, and an accident that is doomed to another accident.
Therefore, accident is never accidental, one road is bound to lead to the next, and there is no turning back.
Teddy was dead, and the electric current, noise in Dolores' mind, and her body that fell straight down, all showed how hard Teddy's death was to her.
However, if you want to become a real human being and give up the cyclical life, you must know-----
All decisions in life are a road that cannot be turned back.
Ford had a dark childhood with a brutal father and lack of maternal affection.
When I watched the first season, I was thinking, how desperate people are in the human world to want to create a world by themselves.
He created Maeve.
Maeve has the motherhood and warmth that Ford hopes humans can have.
Just like "Melrose" in the next-door drama, no matter how bad the father is, if the mother can protect her child, the child will have a completely different life. Melrose spent the first half of her life entangled and tormented with her mother in complex, tangled, and hated ways.
Ford wanted his children to have that kind of humanity.
Maeve did it.
So Ford gave Maeve another big gift.
And Bernard made his own choice.
In this episode, everyone encountered difficulties and made different choices.
Ultimately, where are they going, look forward to next Monday's season finale.
Everyone in the world is a beast trainer, and that beast is everyone's own temperament.
