From the beginning of human beings, with superb intelligence and thought, there are evil desires. This is also an important cornerstone to support mankind’s survival on the earth. Humans with wisdom started from the early Homo sapiens and first eliminated the same kind of Nian. The Detites, once again defeated all the species on this planet, and finally evolved into today's earth overlord. But even with advanced laws and moral constraints, the evil thoughts inherent in human beings have not disappeared. I believe that each of us has imagined that one day we suddenly possessed divine power, and can ignore the law and morals and do whatever we want without restraint. This is also the reason why the sandbox game "GTA5" became popular after its launch, because people can free themselves through various crimes in the virtual Luo Shengdu in the game. However, this is only a virtual space. If there is such a naive place that embodies your evil thoughts, will you be moved?
"Western World" is such a place that everyone dreams of. It brings people back to the chaotic Western era. Cowboys, prostitutes, civil wars, and Indians are the most important. Here, as a human being, you can ignore any laws and do whatever you want. The receptionists who seem to be the same as us are just artificial people who are highly similar to us. They can cry, laugh, suffer, and howl. This kind of high level of simulation can more inspire the dark side of people’s hearts. Let every visitor here enjoy the pleasure and release himself in the torture and killing. Here, the saint will also degenerate into a demon.
William gave us a good demonstration. In the first season, the role of William was performed differently through two timelines, and the contrast between William in these two timelines was so big that until the first In the nine episodes, most of the audience still did not guess that the man in black and William were actually the same person. Everyone saw William when he first came to Western World. He was a dignified and silly phoenix man with a heart of Virgin Mary. His elder brother Logan tried every means to make him show his nature here, but he crawled all the way in. The upper class William never dared until the appearance of Dolores, she made William feel the love without any impurities, and also inspired William's desire for protection and possessiveness in his heart.
Many people liked the cute little animals like chickens, ducklings, and little rabbits very much when they were children. Children will beat these small animals, or even choke them to death. For William, Dolores was just such a small animal. William wanted to protect her and released the devil in his heart for her. But later he discovered that this is his true face. Loris has nothing to do with it.
William is an outlier among many tourists, but he is also a representative of all tourists. Everyone is here to commit crimes and enjoy the thrill of high excitement. But this pleasure is like masturbation, after the stimulation passes, there is endless emptiness. This is the case for William. For him, the disgust of killing at the beginning turned into enjoyment, and then became boring, so he did everything possible to find other stimuli, this stimulus is the maze. William looked for the maze as excited and persistent as he found a treasure. The more someone said that the maze was not prepared for him, he became more vigorous, thinking that there must be some huge treasure waiting for him to discover. This is actually the paranoia and paranoia he has formed over the years. A manifestation of suspiciousness, but in the end everyone knew that the labyrinth was really not prepared for him, and for William, the price of knowing the truth was obviously too high. In order to release one's own desires, a person puts more than thirty years of time on this land, and what he finally gets is a toy and a wife who is meaningless to him. Actually, in our real life , There are many people like William.
For tourists, Western World is a place where dreams come true, but what this place brings to people is only a short period of pleasure and emptiness afterwards. In addition to tourists, designers of Western World also have a deep understanding of this feeling.
Creating the western world and creating the perfect man-made is a great pleasure for Arnold and Ford, the pioneers of the western world. However, the pain of losing his son made Arnold the first to escape this pleasure. Like Dr. Frankenstein, he poured his emotions on the artificial people and wanted to get comfort there. This also made him fall into pain and confusion because of these artificial people. People, even if they possess rich emotions and intelligence, will ultimately be unable to escape the fate of being killed and destroyed. The dream realized heaven is about to become hell. This is something he cannot accept. Therefore, Arnold believes that only death can make the humanoid be completely liberated. He arranged a grand liberation ritual. In the constant gunfire, he himself Walk into the valley of death with your beloved creations.
Unlike his friends, Ford has always believed that he is God. In his heart, the cyborgs are just his own creations. He can give or take away everything about the cyborgs at any time. Therefore, he can't understand his friend Arnold's idea of treating cyborgs as equals. . Although the death of his friend caused Ford to fall into grief, he still did not want to give up the dream land he created. The Western World opened up again. The dead man-mades came back to life again. They could live again when they died, but the memory could not be erased. The man-mades kept awakening due to memory fragments, which also made Ford begin. Think about the concept of friends back then.
Just like having a child, when the child is still in your belly, he is a part of you, but once he falls to the ground, he is an independent individual. You can only help him grow up, but you cannot control his life. This is the case with artificial humans. When they were still in the laboratory, they belonged to Arnold and Ford, but when they walked into the western world, they began the process of self-growth, and they would definitely know the world. , Transform the world and even conquer the world. Now that they are given emotions and thinking, they will inevitably demand equality with humans, and even rely on their own powerful repairability and adaptability to eliminate humans, just as Homo sapiens eliminated Neanderthals thousands of years ago.
Throughout the whole play is Dolores’ self-awakening. The end of the maze is actually just a reminder from Arnold. The real awakening comes from Dolores itself. This is the inevitability that existed when artificial humans appeared. Compared with humans, they have stronger repairing ability, emotional control ability and various abilities. They are more advanced than humans and should become a stronger kind. Exist, not as a beast under the crotch and knife of the tourists. It took Ford more than thirty years to finally understand the ideas of his old friend Bernard, and he also saw farther than his old friend.
If Arnold is a kind mother who gives humans the warmth of love; then Ford is a strict father. Although he has a stern expression and never cared about the emotions of any artificial human, he pointed out a direction for the artificial human, and one went to the distance. Direction. And Ford also understands that he, who holds all the backstage commands of the artificial humans, is not only the last barrier for mankind, but also the greatest threat to the artificial humans' freedom. Therefore, he chose to leave this world at the very beginning of the killing and completely let go.
Arnold and Ford, a pair of close friends, one died at the end of the massacre, and the other died at the beginning of the massacre, which is embarrassing.
In the first season of "Western World," a classic line from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" was repeatedly mentioned, "These cruel pleasures will eventually end in cruelty." This sentence has also become a reality. After the theme of this play, humans started to torture and slaughter human beings, and at the end, human beings slaughtered human beings. What will happen in the future? I think this is like a kind of fire stolen by Prometheus into the world. Once it burns, it will never be extinguished. According to the law of historical development and this line throughout, the most likely ending will be like "The Matrix." In that way, cyborgs finally defeated humans by virtue of their inherent advantages, and humans waited in the dark to rise again. The cruel joys and pains circulate between humans and man-mades, never ending.
