Sad lonely nihilist Rick

Want to complain about episode seven! ! ! ! !

Although it is still a tribute (spoof?) movie, I saw that there are "Walk with Me", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and "Training Day" (?), which is very funny, but isn't the character set up in this episode? ! !

This kind of setting is completely "a lot of people who look like Rick gather together", not a parallel universe! ! !

Why would Rick himself need to work on the assembly line? He can develop a self-awareness by inventing a butter-handling robot at random! ! ! Isn't this crooked the character design in order to insinuate reality?

The great devil Morty echoes the main line, but it is precisely because this kind of plot development is too much like "all other cartoons", maybe it is, a little disappointing, right?

The eighth episode is still relatively online.

----------Update

My mentality collapsed for several days. Yesterday I watched four episodes of R&M to try to heal, but I couldn't stop the collapse. I also want to find a Dr. Wong cry (probably tell her about my childhood, my personality blablabla... but in the end I can’t say anything. I will only say bad, bad, No, it’s not good, that’s not good anyway.) I’m thinking about even watching a cartoon. After that, I’m the kind of person Rick despise. He is so "intellectually superior", even if he becomes a man. The root pickled cucumber can dominate everything. But I will never be a so-called "protagonist".

I just watched "Velvet Gold Mine" recently, Brian is very beautiful, but I was even more impressed by the reporter who Bell played. He crouched in front of the old TV and pointed to Brian Slade and said, "That's me, that's how I am. I think!" He always appears rustic and unnatural when he is in the crowd, yet he has to look around to observe the reactions of others. How much he is like me, only reposting, self-projecting to false characters and climaxing: "Yes! Yes! This is who I am! That's what I think!"—Always obsessed with other people's attitude to myself View, in fact, this is just a lack of attention and "ego-clinging" has reached a pathological level...

Nihilism-sounds like some kind of "poisonous weed of the western bourgeoisie". However, I think postmodernism is destined to be nothingness-just like the world created by Rick in the wasteland in the second episode of energy supply, enough to turn the most iron-blooded beast into a couch potato-this is in literature and art Earlier there were first signs, but now even cartoons are beginning to convey philosophical concepts. In this regard, it may never be regarded as complete nothingness.

Dare to analyze Rick's character image. Narratology believes that the functions of roles are limited, and there are even 31 subdivisions. There are undoubtedly many archetypes in R&M. For example, the family composition of Morty and Summer is very similar to an old animation "Daveville"-a strong mother, an unemployed and nervous father; while the sister Summer is an emotional , A "female symbol" that lacks reason and needs protection from time to time; the protagonist Rick can undoubtedly correspond to the role function of "hero". The interaction mode between him and Morty is a bit like Don Quixote and Sancho, the so-called "hero and fool" "The combination is just that the heroes here have been added to the unique anti-hero color of the postmodern era. Under the ordinary mode, the audience always expects the "inhumanity" of the "hero" to be softened and gradually "learned humanity" in the interaction with the "fool". However, in R&M, this expectation has repeatedly failed and constituted Very fresh effect. For example, in the fourth episode of the satirical Marvel DC movie, Rick's drunken confession made Morty tears in his eyes, but it was actually... (spoiler omitted). However, even though Rick has repeatedly stated that the audience still expects him to have a "comfortable and secret love" for his relatives. This "expectation-frustration-still expectation" model undoubtedly enriches the emotional level. Obviously, the creators are also happy to continue to play this "Grain", just like Rick used his own efforts to overthrow the federal government in the first episode, but he wanted to say that he was for the dipping sauce of Chicken McNuggets. (Although I think he still doesn't care that anything is more suitable for personality, but his mouth is more straightforward, isn't it?)

Two typical parents

Rick's mantra, wublub dubda, undoubtedly contains this kind of "supreme and secret" attitude, laughing and saying that it doesn't matter, while shouting "I am in pain, who will save me". He can be said that the unrestrained form is close to the Wei-Jin demeanor—and Lu Xun’s analysis of the Wei-Jin demeanor is "extremely uneven, nothing can be done, too much love for famous teachings, and excitement instead of following famous teachings", then Rick can also be understood as "Yes" Love the world too much and deliberately don't care about the world"? Like all existences of "superior intelligence", although Rick is a character in cartoons, he clearly sees more profoundly than everyone else. He has clearly stated that he is in "this season" and "this show" many times. , There is an infinitely unfolding universe before his eyes, but it is nothing more than a plot played by the creator. Just like when we face our own lives, we feel as if we are feeling the impermanence of creation, worry and fear can lead to our only existence... Rick's wublub dubda is an existential pain, and his suicide in the second season is even more so. A proof. After all, Camus also said that "only suicide is the only serious philosophical problem."

Rick's pain comes from the extremeness of self-existence and the finiteness of being a human that he has to face. It seems easy to say-as if he was placed at the opposite ends of the involuntary balance like us, but in fact it is still far away. The pain that ordinary people face is just like what the doctors of psychological diagnosis and treatment mentioned, it is the pain of destruction and repair, or the pain of eating shit while clearly eating. As a creator and an extraordinary person, Rick would naturally not pay attention to these. The superiority at this time has become his limitation. He is the kind of doctor who "would rather die than do this" (repair). , But the dismissive attitude does not mean that he can escape the snare of life.

From the beginning of the third season, Rick himself has always been the main line C-137. The direction of the first episode is even a bit confusing. C-137 hits the Rick’s base camp and killed them. Morty also rated him as the "most Rick Rick"— -It seems a little bit, no longer so empty? Why can C-137 be separated from the public Rick? Isn't this a pitfall of personal heroism? Perhaps the main creator can't stand it anymore, but still has to face the "unique" existence of human beings as individuals, even though this existence is both a blessing and a curse.

Maybe someday humans can upload their consciousness to the cloud and supply 99999 times of dopamine every day, so we don't have to be trapped in the mess of existence and nothingness. I really hope that Rick will make such an invention in C-137. Regardless of the protagonist's supporting role, everyone will get schwifty together (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
