In the fourth episode of the third season of the American TV series Westworld, the male protagonist questioned whether he was also the host. He asked the female protagonist "Am I me?" Combining this episode with the whole series about the male protagonist's plot here will become very interesting, not only Because all other hosts have questioned their hosts, and they asked "Am I real?".
In the explanation of the text, "name is self-proclaimed, from the mouth, from the evening. The evening person is also the Ming. The Ming does not meet, so the name is called by the mouth."
In the Tao Te Ching, "nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; there is name, the mother of all things." Here is a little bit of combination, existence is born out of nothing, and everything in heaven, earth and everything has name and life. Reminds me of a legend I read a long time ago: "The person who knows the name of all things has the ability to control all things. This person is the mother of all things; only the person who knows his real name can control his own destiny. This legend is highly consistent with the plot. , the female protagonist is the first awakened Host; in the first scene of this episode, she kept calling the male protagonist's name, and in the last scene of the male protagonist in this episode "Am I me? "I remember the cartoon Spirited Away when I was a child mentioned the concept of a real name. If you forget your real name, you can't go back. Name, you can't see it at night, so you can call your name. In the plot, Host can't tell the truth from the fake in Westworld, so there are Ask; just like people cannot see at night, hence the name.
What I want to say here is roughly the same as the oracle "Know yourself" on Delphi.
So Dolores replied to William "Welcome to the end of the game".
It's a lot easier to think from a full perspective now.
(*1: Regarding the eighth episode of the second season. Note that what I said is essentially, William and their purpose are "Know yourself", different from the Hosts who are forced, William is willing. And the game of maze is The Indian ghost Akecheta first discovered, the reincarnation of life is endless; the lover's family and the family stand in front of him but do not recognize each other; the lingering life is only afraid of forgetting the little bit that no one remembers, the useless memory; decades of useless memory; Wandering like a ghost, looking for a long-lost "take my heart when you go, my heart belongs to you" a oath written in a program; listen to the ancient legend and no longer fear death, and finally meet the person who took his heart, but She's just cold hardware. Here's a pair of frames of reference that contrast.
1. The Indian ghost Akecheta is the longest host in the park, and William is the human who has played in the park for the longest time. They all searched almost the entire park for their loved ones;
2. The maze was first discovered by Akecheta, and William always believed that the answer to the maze was the end of his game;
3. Akecheta's love is an oath written by a simple program, but it is pure and flawless, breaking through the limitations of the algorithm, and loving his wife forever and ever. And William's love crumbles when he sees Dolores smile at every man who helps him pick up cans at the beginning after searching the whole park. The look on his face when he found out that he was played by the script, let alone William as an audience, I will never forget it in my life. It also confirmed that "the game ends where it begins, and begins where it ends", William put on a black hat and embarked on the road to prove free will.
*2Ford is "God", not only that he planned all this. The theoretical basis of the show is "The Collapse of Dichotomous Minds - The Origin of Human Consciousness" The voice of "God" in Dolores' mind became herself after the end of the maze, which is a metaphor for each character's dialogue about Ford , are talking to themselves. Regarding the discussion of "God" and "Self", too many religions are talking about this, I really have been wandering outside the door and can't get to the point... At the end of the second season, in the Brood War, Ford Said, "When the Library of Alexandria was burned down, the stories of ten thousand years ago were reduced to ashes, but these stories did not disappear, but became new stories." Obviously, it is indeed telling about ten thousand years ago. How did human beings kill each other and destroy each other, so that they finally succeeded in erasing the truth of history. Now that he has said it clearly enough, according to the synchronization of the plot, Dolores will begin to tell the story of our generation after entering the real world, and their so-called "Grand Judgment" is coming...
The title of the final episode of the third season is: Time to face the music.
The background music at the end is PinkFloyd's Brian damage...
The lyrics read "And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear....”
*3 Analysis of the opening sequence of the third season.
In the first season, William played the maze loop for nearly three decades, and the last time he had the idea of going back and forth, Ford repeatedly insisted that this game was not played by you. The Maze game belongs to Dolores and Maeve the maid and the Indian ghost Akecheta*1. So the game of maze is really not for William, so when did the game that belongs to William start? My answer is when William entered the paradise. At the beginning of the second season, Ford*2 once said to William, "The game begins where you end, and it ends where you begin." It is extremely difficult to understand this sentence.... This has two meanings.
On the first floor, like his brother-in-law and father-in-law who tested N+1 cycles, they ended the conversation by the pool without exception. He was also recognized by the system as a simple code of more than 10,000 lines. The class is all bullshit to glorify his own behavior. Those dark sides are him, and of course he will repeatedly choose to kill her daughter, which means that William has already entered a circular test of infinite repeated choices.
The second layer, from the perspective of metaphor*3, when human beings enter the paradise game, the essential purpose is to wonder what kind of person they are and what kind of person will they become? That is "Know yourself". The purpose of William's 30 years of indulging in Paradise is to prove that he has free will, just to prove that he will fall in love with Dolores for the first time. This kind of anti-operational Greek Oedipus King's script is destined to be a tragedy for William's character line. So when William asked Dolores in the finale of Season 3, Episode 4, "Am I me?" Dolores replied to William "Welcome to the end of the game." I don't quite understand what exactly is "the end of the game" here. I now see two directions for 20210901.
1. The perspective of code and genes. In the season three finale, human William is killed. Is the fate of human beings "simple 10247 lines of code?" Is it "four base pairing sequences on DNA?" or "the distance and trajectory of the planet at the time of birth"? This kind of basic code affects the secretion of our body's hormones and controls our behavioral choices, until the moment of death is over, and everything is an irreversible destiny.
2. The angle between "God" and man. The previous article has proved that William constantly "finds his real name" in order to control his own destiny. "God" came down to play the game, and of course he didn't know the script, but the rule of the game is that as long as he comes down, he will give the so-called fate arrangement such as code/gene, so that the legendary person who knows his "real name" can control his "destiny". "That is to say, this is the first step of "God" playing the game. Writing, writing and discovering.....Isn't the real name I'm talking about here equal to destiny?
This ring is really big, I will write it on another day...
The story of William and Dolores is also not unfolding. If the show has to choose the hero and heroine, then he must be the two.
Maeve also writes about her daughter next time.
