After watching an episode of the third season, I suddenly understood why everyone hated the second season. Because who wants to watch the one-sided game! What we need to see is a close match, a fair game, or the protagonist is suppressed to the bottom, and then Jedi fights back.
Through the future and past in the dark
Through the darkness of future's past.
The magician longs to see
The magician longs to see
A man sings loudly between two worlds
One chants out between two worlds...
Walk with the fire
Fire...walk with me
——"Double Peaks"
Meet new friends, don’t forget old friends~
Over time, some people may forget what the protagonists have done before, and what they look like, plus the new faces of the new season, let’s review and get familiar with them.
Dolores · Abernathy / Dolores Abernathy
Race: Host
Status: Active
The heroine, this season with "helpers" smoothly integrated into the new world. Incarnate as a female terminator. She hated all the guests, determined to take their world, and those who hindered her were killed mercilessly. She doesn't seem to have any compassion for most hosts that are not available. (Except Teddy)
At the end of last season, she brought out the "Neidan" of 5 hosts. Currently, one of them can be seen as Charlotte Hale and the other as Martin Cornell.
Bernard Lowe / Bernard Lowe,
Race: Host
Status: Active
The only host is both a human (Arnold) and a robot. Based on Arnold's personality and memory reconstruction, he thought he was a human for the first 11 years of his life. Emotionally, they tend to coexist peacefully with humans. After being killed by Dolores at the end of last season, he was rebuilt in the outside world again. S3E1 Bernard originally worked at the Meat Union Factory, but was forced out of the mountain by the fake Charlotte Hale's strategy and returned to the paradise to request Maeve's assistance.
Charlotte Hale / Charlotte Hale
Race: Human/Host
Status: Dead, replaced by the host of the Deloitte company executives, killed and replaced by Dolores at the end of last season.
Now Dolores has printed her new body, so the identity of the host in Charlotte Hale's body is unknown. There are two possibilities. The first is Charlotte Hale who has been modified by Dolores, and the second is a copy of Teddy (according to Maeve’s suspicion in the trailer), but the original Teddy has been Stayed in the "Valley of the World".
Maeve / Maeve Millay
Race: Host
Status: Active
The only host whose wisdom and leadership ability can keep up with Dolores, but seems to have feelings for humans, not as cold as Demei.
At the end of the last season, he was killed in front of the "Valley of the World" and was visually repaired by the livestock duo Felix and Sylvester. The trailer for S3E2 shows that she is tearing up the German devils in the "World War II" in the new campus. At this time, Serac, the controller of the "system", approached her, hoping that she would come out and kill Dolores.
William / black people Willam / Man in Black
Race: Human/Host
Status: Living
The owner of parks such as Delos and "Western World". Demei’s old lover also loved her after learning that Demei was the host, but found out that Demei restarted the storyline and forgot about him. Afterwards, her temperament changed drastically to find the secret of the most exciting ultimate game "Maze" in the paradise. As the goal. S2 and S3 he was trying his best to obstruct Dolores.
At the end of the last season, long after he killed his daughter by mistake, he kept testing his host consciousness in the "forge". This episode did not appear, and it is suspected that the algorithm was assigned to attend the meeting hosted by fake Charlotte. In fact, the board of directors emptied their power when Charlotte was alive. He was still alive in the trailer, and the serious hand injury caused by the holding of the gun was healed. Prove the superb medical and biotechnology of this era.
Kaile Bu / Caleb Nichols
Race: Human
Status: Living
Celebrity Nichols is the male lead of the third season. A construction worker, a retired veteran of PTSD, his partner is the G-267 working robot "George" (George) of Delos Company. After get off work, he used the Didi app "RICO" to earn extra money. Part-time partners are Ash and Giggles. There is a certain degree of suspicion and distrust of society and the "system", and has its own principles and bottom line.
The mother is suspected of being a patient with Alzheimer's disease and needs financial treatment.
The origin of the name "Caleb" is an important figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his faith in Jehovah when the Hebrews refused to enter Canaan, the "Promised Land". Moses led the Hebrews to escape the slavery of Egypt and came to the border of the land of Canaan that God had promised them. Moses sent 12 detectives into Canaan and returned to report on the situation there. Each detective represented one of the 12 tribes. Ten of them came back and reported that it was impossible to get the land, and the giants living there would crush the Hebrew army. Only two people-Joshua and Caleb returned and said that the Lord was going to hand Canaan into the hands of the Hebrews. (From Wiki)
If the name also implies his fate, then the scenes of him and Dolores fighting side by side in the third season trailer seem to have some new meaning. Will the two of them win a "Promised Land" for both humans and hosts?
Small Liam Dempsey / Liam Dempsey Jr.
Race: Human
Status: Living
Dolores is the main target of PUA in the first episode. The head of the puppet of Incite. His father was the co-founder of Incite, Liam Dempsey Sr.
Martin Connell / Martin Connells
Race: Human
Status: dead, replaced by host
Martin Cornell works for Liam Dempsey Jr. and Incite. His job is to monitor and protect Liam Jr. and he can intervene at critical moments.
Cellac / Serac
Race: Human
Status: Living
The controller of the "system", the co-founder of Incite, and perhaps one of the original creators, was the partner of the old Liam Dempsey. Serak is played by Vincent Cassel. In fact, there is no him in this episode, but he was mentioned, and he appeared in the trailer. Serak said that he has been waiting for the host to arrive for many years:
It will be mentioned later that Serak discovered the hosts through the "system" in 2058 (detailed in the introduction of Daqiu). Since Serak knows the awakening of the host, can experts in the field of artificial intelligence such as Ford know Daqiu? Does it exist? Maybe he also arranged a helper for the host.
Mysterious woman (praying mantis woman)
Race: Human
Status: Living
Unidentified, seems to be the spokesperson of Serak.
Gerrard / Gerald
Race: Human
Status: dead
Gerrard, also known as Gerry, is an investor from Germany and is currently an investor in the technology sector. Worked at Incite and retired early. Gerrard was ordered to delete all secrets and confidential information of the company, but he decided to keep this information because it might be valuable. Later, he bought the shares of Delos Co., Ltd., and went to the "Western World" to play and hold a bachelor party before marriage. During this visit, he raped and killed host Dolores Ebernathy in order to free his "nature" from the "system" before he got married. Does this mean that the "Western World" is a place that the "system" cannot monitor?
There is evidence that he committed domestic violence to his ex-wife and murdered her when she planned to leave the house. He later remarried a woman named Eunice, but the abuse continued. Later Dolores took away his money and confidential files related to Incite.
Note: He later went to Westworld again, because the memory of the first wife he killed was also downloaded to the "melting pot." (Refer to Fadom Wiki of Western World)
Francis / Francis
Race: Human/AI
Looks like Kellerb subscribed to treat AI. From the voice and the content of the dialogue, it is easy to think of his dead comrades (voice, "those things done in the past", "no need to worry about the police", "unsubscribe", etc.). Perhaps the AI simulated the voice of his comrades. However, Francis is not necessarily the name of his comrade-in-arms, it may be the name of the AI.
In fact, I also looked at the cast list. Francis’s actors have real people, so if this comrade-in-arms is dead, why can I still call... Basically it must be an AI acting as a comrade-in-arms.
Rehoboam/System Rehoboam/System
Race: AI
Status: Active
Book this season's BOSS. The "strategy engine" or "system" that saves the world through algorithms and creates a bright future. It is conceivable that this "system" must have distributed servers all over the world to perform synchronous backup and calculation of data, so the shape of "Luo Boan"-the big ball server is definitely only part of the system. But it is located in the Los Angeles headquarters, and it has a shape that can be seen as the endorsement of the "system". This is the first time that Super AI has a shape in Nolan's work, even if it is only part of it... so we also call it "Big Ball".
Rehoboam (Rehoboam), "Bible" character. Catholic translation as "Le Haberhan" was the first monarch of the ancient Middle Eastern country of the Kingdom of Judah. His father is King Solomon, known for his wisdom, and his grandfather is King David. The mother is Naama the Amonite. (Wikipedia)
The Build named "Solomon" may be the original version. It is guessed that the current successor "Roboan" Build has been upgraded and is a king that no one can guess.
And under the rule of Rehoboan in the Bible, the nation of Israel was divided into two. Does this foretell that the world will also split, becoming a situation where the host and Loboan face off between the two gods?
The past and present of this "system" are revealed in a Viral Marketing promotional video made by HBO in January 2020. The whole film is the narration of "Serak" played by Vincent Caso.
Cellac about meaning: history of mankind is a crazy ( Lunatic chaos () caused Chaos ), but we have to change this fact. For the first time, history has its author ( system ).
The image is from Luo Boan's machine perspective, with time and event titles on it. The first event was the large-scale protest movement of Hong Kong independence elements on June 12, 2019. This should be fresh in everyone's memory. The second is the impeachment of President Trump by the U.S. House of Representatives on December 18, 2019. These two are true, so the first line of numbers is the time label.
Since this is a video released in January, what follows is another parallel universe thing. Even the new crown sweeping the world has no name:
These are seemingly scattered catastrophic events that have occurred all over the world. "At first, no one cared about this disaster. It was just an ecological extinction in Indonesia, an assassination of the president in Buenos Aires, a nuclear leak in Paris, a local war in Moscow...until it and Everyone is closely related..."
When Serak talked about the "writer", a key event happened:
26 years ago, on April 17, 2039, the "System" of "Solomon" Build 0.06 was born. It puts all chaos into order. The bumps on the ball in the pattern are all gone, very smooth. If the "system" is born in 2039, then its idea will take shape around 2024. But according to Martin Cornell, the company seems to have only been established for 20 years.
(Build is to package the source code of the code into a package that can be run. After the code is written, it is a document type. Generally, it cannot be run directly, but the more complicated it is, it can be understood that Solomon is the name of the "system" version.)
Serak went on to say that the "system" ran smoothly until an unpredictable fatal change appeared-from the Western World. It is very possible that the son of "Solomon"/the new version "Roboam" discovered the existence of the "melting pot" on February 27, 2058. According to the tips on the Delos official website, "now" is 2065, and the "melting furnace" was built about 30-25 years ago, about 2035-2040. So what happened 7 years ago?
Note that the word lunatic in Serak’s words is what Bernard and Ford used when they talked about the first-generation host’s dualistic mental breakdown and out-of-control behavior. The orderly Western World is actually run under the leadership of the scripting team of writers-Ford and Sezige. Once the host is allowed to awaken, the world will be in chaos immediately .
What will be the fate of the "system"? The opening elements of "Western World" correspond to the theme of this season, such as the "3d printing" in the first season, the "parent-child" theme in the second season, etc., and the "big ball" in the opening of the third season. The figure occupies a considerable amount of space, and the "Icarus" theme of the mechanical bird flying to the sun runs through throughout.
The shape of the sun is very similar to "Luoboan", we can also use this to guess that the war between Dolores and the two gods of the big ball, even if the outcome of the big ball is unclear, the big ball has to give Delores a good look (Mao I will give you some light!).
The strange thing here is that Ford’s spare 3D printer should print bones and muscle tissue. Where did she get these materials for the first Alpha models? Refer to the printer in Arnold's home in S2E10, which is a mini version of Mesa's medium and large printer. Could it be said that it is also possible to specially print that kind of metallic skeleton? Is it necessary to be so retro...
Although Demei is still killing the Quartet like cutting melons and vegetables, S3E1 itself is still good-looking. After 4 years of hard work, the world of "Cyberpunk 2065" is refreshing. It has a lively rhythm and fresh tones. For example, the stunning city style of futurism——
Also interspersed with you, me and his life of moving bricks——
There is also the 2065 version of "Lunch Time on the Top of a Skyscraper", which can be said to be very loving——
(Top: On September 29, 1932, photographer Charles Alberts took a photo of 11 construction workers lunching on the 69th floor of the Rockefeller Building in New York, 243 meters above the ground. Bottom: Xiaofan and his colleagues' work Rest.) Compared with the American West in the 19th century, its age and lifestyle are closer to our current era, so it feels extra cordial. This is an era where big data takes over everything, and there are also current hot elements. For example, the smart home scene:
Such as virtual reality:
Electronic LSD:
This one-second dress-up skirt is really possible:
Designer Hussein Chalayan has a series of such works.
In short, the small social animal fans spend the day moving bricks and part-time robbing at night. Because his mother is receiving treatment. Suspected Alzheimer's disease patient. Because she said Xiaofen is not her own son, this sentence has a lot of meaning.
Kellerb (Xiaofan) is a veteran who is receiving psychological counseling. It is suspected that it is PTSD because he saw his comrades die tragically. When not going to the face-to-face consultation, we still need to use voice guidance, but this voice is AI. It looked like talking to yourself before, a bit like a host guided by a dualistic mind. In fact, people might be doing phone therapy, or talk therapy for short.
In addition, this Didi hijacking software concept is still very good. It is a truly fair and just third-party crime platform.
Xiaofen said that he canceled the voice therapy subscription because he wanted something real and didn't want to talk about AI anymore. When I turned around, I ran into a girl who was in trouble. I really wanted to come here~
It's a pity that this girl is really not real~
Remember when William said to her: If you are not real, you are nothing.
But Bernard said: The real thing is irreplaceable. If the relationship is true, it is different whether people are born or beaten out. I hope they don't abuse anymore~ Give Demei some love that is not made up. Maybe she can be normal, but now she is a magic stick.
Anyway, if you didn't watch the second season, just start from this episode, it feels pretty good. So the IMDB score was very high at the beginning.
In short, everything happens in order and it is content. But is there a possibility that even if it happens sequentially, it is not necessarily a fact? Don't forget that Nolandi is also the producer of "Inception" and the screenwriter of "Fatal Magic", let him follow the normal routine, basically don't think about it. Therefore, you should be more vigilant in the images you see in the future, not necessarily which are true and which are false.
To vomit, everyone in this film speaks their own languages, and they all communicate without hindrance. Does everyone have a Babel in their ears? In fact, everyone has an "implant."
Easter eggs: The third season's title has finally changed its blood! The style is as exquisite as the previous two seasons, and it's fascinating. The touching posture of the two human arms is like the posture of "Creation of Adam". It may also mean the contact of two created gods.
The host that floats above the water is a symbol of finally coming to the real world.
Dandelion symbolizes Loboam, the "God of Big Data". The cell division may indicate that the host will use real human DNA to fill itself, because after Demei stole the identity of a real human-a little girl who died, she also stole her body tissue and blood samples stored in the hospital. In the second quarter, Bernard was also safe after reading the DNA. Maybe the host’s body tissue can also have DNA?
The birds are like Icarus flying to the sun, their feathers burned out. And the Alpha skeleton shape of the first generation model in the Dolores trailer, the lower body only has a skeleton like the mechanical bird. To be too close to the true god is a very dangerous thing.
In the end, the black-and-white picture style in the first two seasons suddenly became all red, and the printed host white model was submerged in a pool of blood. It indicates that if the host wants to survive, it must be reborn in blood.
In addition, Luo Boan also has a small red light~
(It seems that there are too many words and the content is incomplete. I want to post another one, but it doesn't seem to work. Please go to Zhihu to see the full version~T_T)
