Does Greek mythology imply the demise of the receptionist? The black hole implies that Serak is Roboan?
Introduce the two sides of this war
Rehoboam
- Luo Boan is a big data analysis system that controls the past and future of everyone on the planet, and is the real master of humanity. He faces the world with the image of a "ball". There are countless round objects in the drama that correspond to Luo Boan, which is an important hint.
- Luo Bo'an's operation interface is also circular, and it is covered with dense earth coordinates.
Representative of the Luoboan camp: Serac Serac
- The man behind the scenes of the human world, the manager of the Roboan system, the richest man in the world, and the owner of Delos and Inset.
Hosts
- The receptionist used to be an NPC in a high-tech theme park, providing tourists with killing and torture. Then the receptionist awakened his autonomy and thinking and began to flee the park. Part of the awakened receptionist began to capture the human world, and the other part chose to enter the virtual world.
Representative of the receptionist camp: Dolores
- The oldest receptionist in the western world, she is paranoid but kind and beautiful. She is a typical country girl from the remote west. Until she realizes that her beautiful life is a carefully fabricated lie, she begins to awaken and resist humanity.
- Her goal is to seize the human world and destroy Roboan, the leader of the receptionist's main camp.
3 very critical mythological stories, analyzing the core of metaphors
1. "The Creation of Adam"
This is a world-famous painting created by Michelangelo on the zenith of the Sistine Chapel from 1511 to 1512. The story is from the "Bible Genesis" and depicts the scene where God created the first human Adam.
This painting has also been quoted and imitated in many works, expressing the "that" sacred contact between man and god that transcends everything.
2. "Icarus Ίκαρος"
This is a story about self-effort in Greek mythology
Icarus' father was invited by the king to design a maze. After the maze was completed, the king exiled Icarus and his father into the maze. This maze is so ingenious that even the two designers can't get out of it.
After continuous exploration, my father found feathers scattered on the ground. Decided to make a pair of wings with feathers and fly out of the maze! They use beeswax to fix feathers on wooden poles to make wings.
Just as they were about to leave, their father asked: Icarus! Don't fly too low, the humidity of the sea will make the wings heavy; but don't fly too high, otherwise the sun will burn the wings.
They took off from the maze one after another, soaring high. No one knows the reason. It may be ecstasy or arrogance. Icarus flying in the rear began to climb continuously. He is flying higher and higher, wanting to fly to the sun, surpass human beings, and achieve the greatness of the gods. Icarus didn't notice, the sun gradually melted his wings, and the feathers fell one by one.
When Icarus found out that the wings could no longer carry him, it was too late. Icarus could only roll and fall helplessly in the air.
Finally fell into the sea and never floated again.
Are you familiar with the word "maze"? That's right, the most important foreshadowing in the first two seasons of "Westworld" was also the "maze". Escape from this "maze" is the key to the awakening of the receptionist.
Soon you will know what kind of special relationship Icarus has with the receptionist.
3. "Narcissus Νάρκισσος"
This is a story in Greek mythology that tells narcissism to destruction
One day Narcissus, a beautiful man, accidentally came to a pond. The pond is clear and clean, like a mirror. Narcissus leaned into the water, but saw his reflection in the water. He fell madly in love with this extremely handsome boy. He did not eat or sleep, staying by the pool, crawling on the green grass, his eyes fixed on the illusion in the pool countless times. The rippling waves caused him to fall into despair again.
After an unknown period of time, he could no longer bear the pain, and finally jumped into the pond and drowned to death.
These stories can let us understand the metaphors of the third season opening
In the opening credits, Luo Boan is a dandelion that can spread .
It is a cell that can divide .
It is the eyes that can see you .
It is the sun with huge energy .
It is an erupting fighter engine .
At this time, a receptionist falcon was made...
The Raptor rushed to the fighter engine...
The engine burns... becomes the sun...
Falcon desperately advances... then falls apart...
That's right, this paragraph is one of the three myths. Icarus, who escaped from the maze, rushed towards the sun wearing beeswax-bonded wings, and finally melted Icarus and fell to his death. The receptionist was Icarus who had just walked out of the labyrinth, and Roboan was the sun, implying that Delores and the entire receptionist family would eventually be destroyed.
Next are two other fairy tales
The receptionist wanted to touch "God" like "Creation of Adam "...
This receptionist, who is also representative of gods and humans, can correspond to Delores’ views and goals:
1. Delores thinks the receptionist is a true god.
2. Delores intends to seize the human world.
The moment I touched it, the "God" disappeared in the ripples...It turned out that it was just the self reflected in the water...
The receptionist's hand crossed the water.
Here comes out of the water 1 represents the situation when the receptionist is making at the manufacturing stand.
2 is a metaphor for the inside out of the receptionist from the western world into the real world.
Finally, the receptionist sank for some reason...
The swimming receptionist and "the eagle" have the same ending, and they touched the gods (killing the gods) without their own resources and ended up ruining themselves. Ordinary people will collapse when they force to touch high-level forces, and many works have similar bridges.
Delores made a mistake. She thought the receptionist was a true god, but it was not. Both hints told us the same result, which was the death of the receptionist.
Since the receptionist is a false god, let me talk about the performance of Rehoboam as a true god
It is also a myth that implies suicide.
Luo Boan does not assign classes based on a person's talents and efforts, but predicts based on future behavior. People who are judged to be suicidal by Luo Boan will be locked in the bottom and have no chance of rising.
Suicide is a big crime, and the view that suicide goes to hell is almost universally recognized and the most serious in the reality of various religious myths.
I have to say that Luo Boan, the "god" in charge of mankind, does indeed look like a god.
There is a strange person/thing in the "Roboan" camp and the "Receptionist" camp.
Serac
Although Serak and Loboan are in the same camp, the plot has always told us a message that Serak and Loboan are two separate entities, Serak is in the upper Loboan underneath, and Serak is the operator, and Loboan is the tool.
But I boldly guess that Serak and Roboan are actually the same thing. In addition to some small details of behavior & arrangement that gave me this kind of speculation, the third episode also gave a very interesting line:
"Serak is a black hole"
This analogy is quite informative.
The appearance of a black hole: A black hole is a ball whose body cannot be seen but other matter on the edge can be seen. This shape is exactly the same as Luo Boan's interface.
The nature of black holes: powerful attraction, crazy absorption of all material energy, Luo Boan also absorbs every single cent of human beings every moment.
The black hole is exactly the same as Rhoboan in all respects.
After a conversion, you will find these descriptions:
1. Serak and Luo Boan look the same
2. Serak and Roboan are both ball forms
3. Serak can absorb all things information
Of course, this can also be explained by "Serak controls Rhoboan so the black hole is describing Rhoboan", which involves a high-level and low-level processing of storytelling. The explicit part of the series has been instilling to the audience that Roboan and Serak belong to two individuals. The audience knows this point from the perspective of God. At this time, there is no need to catch two ignorant characters to discuss this issue again. In the in-depth metaphorical suggestion discussion, what does the director want to explain so hard?
Luo Boan looks like another ball besides dandelion and eyes?
Mindball HCUs
I don’t know if the mind ball was not considered so far in the first season. The physical form of the "soul" of the receptionist is also spherical. It is rare to exist in the form of a ball while being completely opposed to Loboan.
I have two guesses on the premise that Jonathan Nolan is an ultra-rigorous director:
1. "Roboan" and "Receptionist" are one species. After all, the boss behind them is closely related to technology, so the entities are all black balls.
2. These two black balls are a form of expression of "individual form" and "group form". If there is such a design, then the receptionist will most likely end up with the humans who belong to the "group form".
The above are a few mythological and religious metaphors that I have temporarily discovered. There is also a lot of information buried in the drama, such as the "eagle" in the opening movie. I don't think its species is randomly selected. There will be others on it that can be followed. A suggestive source of the story.
