The following is my analysis of the end of the world, involving spoilers, Shen Jinking
is a person who cannot adapt to society.
He has a comfortable, unrestrained, and bold personality, which made him regarded as a leader by a group of teenagers. With the passage of time and the growth of young people, most people gradually learn to constrain. Andy is a good example. The car accident made him understand that he can't ignore the responsibilities behind him forever. Since then, he has been conscientious and hardworking. Andy here represents most of the teenagers. From immaturity to maturity, he has learned to control himself and take responsibility. King's performance was just the opposite. He escaped and escaped the punishment of the law. This also represents his attitude towards the responsibility of life to society to himself: escape.
Ten or twenty years have passed since the school days, and all the friends from the past have integrated into the society and have their own achievements and a place in the society. But what King has is only that memory. At the age of 30 or 40, he did nothing. He was unfettered by nature and could not accept the constraints of any rules, could not accept to adapt to this society, and was eventually sent to the hospital as a mentally ill patient.
King's inability to adapt to society does not mean that he is really a mental illness. He is very aware of his situation. In the mental hospital (alcoholism?), he talks about his golden time, which makes others envy, but he always There is one regret, that is the last bar, the end of the world. Every day, a group of people tell their own stories over and over again, whether miserable or brilliant, which stimulates King. Now he is alone and has nothing. Therefore, relived that good time has become his best Wish to achieve.
The king called out all the best friends that year, and even called out Andy with the fake news that his mother had passed away. The five returned to the town without mentioning the twists and turns. Until the robot appeared. The robot stays on its own and obeys the rules. It is the opposite of king. After some talks, old friends of the past gradually regain the feelings of the past, free and do whatever they want (the reason is that they are forced to go nowhere. , Only without scruples, it can be seen that King does have leadership ability in this situation, and this is where his value lies. Let me mention it first).
While fleeing all the way, although King gave a relatively correct route, in the final analysis, he still wanted to satisfy his own desires. Over the years, his life is not as good as death. In the face of the only glorious time in his life, completing the unfinished carnival has become the whole of his life.
Two friends were assimilated one after another during the journey, which was actually intentional. If you look carefully at the plot, you will find that the two friends who were assimilated have relatively happy lives. Steven, who has a crush on Oliver’s sister, and who has a hard time, Andy, who has lost his wife, and King who has done nothing. Only the three of them whose lives are impaired are crazy to the end. Does this mean that the more one has, the further away one is from freedom? Or is it saying that if you want to be free, you must first lose it? What can be read here, leave it to you all.
The words are divided into two parts. Let's analyze the position of the robot. Why did King and Andy be forced to a dead end in the end, so the robot doesn't need to be strong, but also has to fight with the protagonist? It's not that it's unfinished or the screenwriter can't come up with ideas, these are also part of the dark humor.
As mentioned earlier, the robot refers to the opposite of king, conforms to the rules and obeys the rules. Furthermore, what robots are metaphors for is the regular everyday or people, or the real society. The robot camp mentioned many times that "we are not robots, because robots are slaves, we are not slaves", but King insists on calling them "robots", which actually shows that King believes that those people who are bound by life and are well-behaved , Is the slave.
As for robots, what I said at the end is very clear. They don't want to invade the earth, they just want to help humans, and this is the fact. People who follow the rules have made contributions to humans and invented various tools. This is done by the "robots", and it is also done by those who follow the rules.
And the "robots" have been trying to assimilate the protagonists, in fact, they want the protagonists to return to the "normal" society, until the end, they almost compromised with King, and even told King their plan. What are they giving? It's young, it's youth, it's another chance. It is an opportunity for King to wash away his past failures and start again. And king desperately looking for the end of the world this trip is not stimulated by years of failure? Shouldn't this be what King wants most? This is indeed the most attractive bargaining chip for King that the robot can give.
It's a pity that King doesn't want these.
All he wants is freedom.
Maybe there was another chance to persuade King before, that is, at the door of the end of the world, that glass of beer that can put a perfect end to King's carnival. If King drinks that glass of wine, will he be satisfied? Will you give in to the robot?
The answer is no, because the fat man didn't let him drink that glass of wine. In the end, the fat man stopped King from drinking the glass of wine. He seemed to want King to calm down. Many people didn't understand, why not let him drink it? The reason Fatty said: You will always be our king, and I will always follow you. Fatty is the person who has changed the most over the years, but his heart is still full of yearning for that year, because he realizes that even if he works hard to take on everything, he still cannot keep his life. So he wanted to tell king, please go crazy forever. Don't end this carnival.
The name king is full of meaning. He is his own king, he is the king of children, and he is the lonely king. He can only be king in his own memories.
What in the end?
Finally, their wish was fulfilled. Life is no longer restricted. Robots are regarded as aliens. Everyone is free. Fatty and Steven have achieved their wishes. But what about King?
With the five-member group when he was young, King continued to dominate and rebel against the rules (the new rules, that is, robots are discriminated against), without end, and continue to pursue the so-called freedom.
Ridiculous? It's really ridiculous. Let me tell you what the end means.
The greatest value of the king himself, what he is best at doing is to be apostate and unrestrained. In a society where rules have been formed, he is useless and hits walls everywhere. Then, at the end, King was given a chance to do what he was best at, overthrowing everything that restrained him, overthrowing all the rules. In this way, will King be able to get a new life?
No matter how
turbid the water is, it will settle. No matter how chaotic the society, there will be his rules. The old order is not good for people. Some people can get salvation by overthrowing the old ones, such as Andy and Steven. But king, you are "overthrowing" yourself, how can you get salvation? There will never be a place suitable for you to survive, because your own meaning is "absolute freedom",
but that kind of thing will not exist.
In the end, King broke the rule of "robots can't enter". This one can be said to be the rule he participated in the creation. This also implies his fate, which is exactly what I said at the beginning. King cannot adapt to any society and rules. The madness of others is for a better life, and the king is just madness for madness.
Maybe he really should stay in a mental hospital.
King is a lunatic.
