Malfunctioning institutions

It has a Kafka feel to it. I liked everything except the ending of Escape from Heaven. To think that there is a hope elsewhere is bad.

A few details are quite interesting: in the opening scene, after giving/entrusting the car to the male protagonist, he walked into the bathroom and committed suicide. Taking the initiative to choose the bathroom to die is equivalent to flushing yourself down the toilet. The carport was initially found to be a broken, malfunctioning mechanism, unable to provide shelter in winter. It was not until the man with glasses died that the button was discovered, and the carport slowly closed, as if the lid of a coffin was fastened. A belated, misplaced consolation. The boy's bad pistol, like the Ruger p08, the old gun of World War I, is another malfunctioning institution, a relic of history. That mini music box actually played the Internationale - communism is just a child's play.

Ariel quotes

  • Radio: [singing] I hear bitter laughter echoing in the darkness, Tonight I won't accuse you of anything, Because for you I would walk through a desert haze, On this autumn night my mind is blue, Tonight no stars shine to comfort me, I guess it's useless to hope for anything, But to drown myself in the night...

  • Mikkonen: The ship's called Ariel. Tonight at 10:00 off Hernesaari Point.
