rick morty S1E2
(Ps: At the beginning of this episode, snuffle has a close-up of chrysanthemum licking, and you can see that it is indeed castrated. The director pays attention to details)
This episode follows the first episode, which means that after the first episode of Morty passed the test and was approved by his parents, rick decided to solve another obstacle: Morty's teacher Goldenfold. Through Inception, the concept that morty must get A in mathematics was implanted into the teacher's subconscious mind. In this way, rick can let Morty be on call, and Morty can shout, "Mom never has to worry about my studies anymore."
This episode is a parody of Inception, but the psychological treatment hidden in it is much more valuable than Inception, and the characters are more three-dimensional and vivid.
The story is probably that Rick and Morty sneak into Gf dreams, because they follow the principle of "killed in dreams will also die in reality". In order to avoid Gf chasing and killing, the two sneaked into Mrs. Pancacks' dreams again, and then dived into Pancacks. In the centaur dream in the dream, and then from the centaur dream, I met scary Terry who can freely shuttle through the dreams. Finally, by diving into Terry's dream, he helped Terry overcome his inner fear, and got help from Terry, and then returned to the upper dream to kill the little girl. , Centaur, Pancacks and GF, and replaced Scary Terry's fear with the threat of "Give Morty Exam A", so that GF decided to give Morty A when he was sober (to overcome the fear of Terry).
Mrs. pancacks is not a real person, but a subconscious projection in Goldenfold's dream. Then the dream of this projected character is actually Goldenfold’s deeper subconscious information, so we will see the expression of a more primitive desire in Pancack’s dream. Everyone is like a drug, and morality is no longer there. . The evidence is that sexy Summer appeared in pancacks’ dreams, and then Rick said, “It seems that Goldenfold has some indescribable hobbies that he hides in other people’s dreams, including reveries about your sister”. This also shows that Summer is still very attractive in school, but she doesn't know it herself.
Pancacks represents the desire of Goldenfold, the centaur represents the arrogance of GF (phallic worship), and the Terry in the dream of the centaur represents the deepest subconscious of Goldenfold: fear. So what does GF really fear? There are two points that can be seen in Terry's dream: 1. Fear of revealing Yin and 2. Fear of low self-esteem. These two points are the growth that almost adolescents will experience. Fear of exposure represents the shame of sex, while low self-esteem reflects GF's lack of positive affirmation and attention since childhood. Generally, these two mentalities will be overcome with age, but GF buried them deep in his heart. It can be said that Rick and Morty's Inception has helped GF solve the psychological problems. Because the best way to dispel fear is to face fear directly: refute the teachers of horror schools to gain self-confidence in ability and to wear pants to gain sexual confidence.
In contrast, although "Inception" is also a journey of psychotherapy, the description of the environment of each layer of dreams has no effect on the character creation. The first dream of the rich second generation is a metropolis, the second dream is a hotel, and the third dream is a snow-capped mountain. After these three levels of dreams, we did not improve any understanding of the character of the rich second generation. As for the outcome, we know that the most fundamental reason for being able to abandon the father’s business and split the enterprise is because the son is different from his father. The son’s ideals are not “enterprise”. It may be culture and art, or lawyers and doctors. We don’t know. In fact, you can set the second floor as a museum, and the third floor as a carnival amusement park (this is just an example), we can roughly understand the personality characteristics of the rich second generation, and accept the father’s phrase "I’m very disappointed with you and me." The same" is logical.
On the other hand, looking at GF's several layers of dreams, just a few pens, it is a very rich reflection of GF's inner world and personality characteristics (desire, arrogance, paranoia, low self-esteem). So from the perspective of the director's approach, R&M is even better.
The other line in this episode is the awakening and revolutionary road of Snuffle, which has improved IQ. If GF's way of salvation is through confronting fear, then Snuffle's salvation is through forgiveness. Rick used a trick in his dream to make Morty pretend to be sick and get snuffle sympathy. On the surface, snuffle was implanted "not as ruthless as humans." In fact, in the dream, snuffle has virtually experienced domination of the earth, enslavement, and revenge on mankind. In the whole process, it becomes the master of the world. When the wish is fulfilled, snuffle should actually fall into a deep emptiness, because it has lost the goal of life: I was enslaved and ignorant in the past; now I have gained wisdom and vigilance, it is time for revenge, and the dog’s life has reached its peak. , What should I do? Just like Sakyamuni, who has experienced prosperity and wealth, snuffle has also reached a critical stage of sublimation in life. At this time, the concern about morty regardless of cost was just an excuse or engine. So at the end of the film, snuffle has a new dog birth goal: to go to other dimensions to build a dog society that is different from human society. It should be said that snuffle can achieve the desire to rule the earth in the dream ahead of time is the luck of mankind. The so-called forgiveness can only be given after the shortcoming is compensated, which means that the person who is worried about it must first "be relieved."
Therefore, where there is any inception, the real Inception is actually to complete the psychological healing of the dream owner, and then guide him to find his own spiritual exit, and at the same time obtain a favorable situation for the intruder.

This episode began as an adventure as usual, and the clone of Morty's family in another dimension became the villain. When "Beth" said "I love U sweet heart" uncharacteristically, it prompted Morty to press the destroy button, a little irony.
Meeseek is a character I like very much. He is contrary to the human values of "It's better to die than to live". He takes the fulfillment of life mission as the highest happiness and end of life. In reality, those revolutionary martyrs or terrorists have similar characteristics, and this type of person is often the favorite used by Boss: mission must be fulfilled, absolute execution power. Meessek's setting is to slap us hard, let us see the disaster brought by the "perfect performer". Such a perfect executor may be Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang in the eyes of the righteous, and may be the Nazi SS and Muslim human bombs in the eyes of the evil ones. The question is, whether justice or evil is just a subjective judgment of people. Everyone has different values. The mechanism of absolute obedience may eventually lead to a catastrophe of absolute destruction and even reap the consequences.
In this episode, Jerry seemed to mention a very simple and easy-to-realize wish "Golf hole in two", but when Meeseek found that this was an impossible task, even calling more Meeseek (transferred responsibility) was useless. , A terrible thing happened: to achieve the goal by destroying Jerry. I remember a popular science writer pointed out that the way computers will destroy humans in the future will be ridiculous. It may not be for the destruction of humans, or even not even aware of it. It may only be to "improve the printing efficiency of a piece of paper" and change the universe. Energy, in disguise, ruined mankind.
On the other hand, MeeSeek also represents obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoia. Buddhism says "let go of the ego," and the pain will disappear naturally. If MeeSeek's goal is not achieved, it will be unhappy. What is even more painful is that if this goal is not achieved, it will not be liberated and will never be superb. In other words, the cowardly and lazy Jerry suddenly created a hell for Mr. MeeSeek.
In reality, there are not many people like this. They raise a knife to kill people in order to breathe a sigh of humiliation. In the eyes of others, it is ridiculous and incredible. For these MeeSeeks in reality, the current "problem" is a problem larger than life and death. Row. I don't want to criticize this kind of people here, but have some pity. It is simple to say "let down", how many people can? This goes back to the topic of free will. When these MeeSeeks are in anger and raise their butcher knife, is it really "sighing out" according to their free will, or is it like MeeSeek, which has long been caught by God or DNA? Set it up, if you don’t say this, if you don’t solve this task, you will always be in pain and cannot be relieved?
Do MeeSeeks know that they were designed by Rick? Do they have options? Do they know they can do it if they don't? I don’t know, I don’t know whether people in reality are set. But no matter whether it is set or not, if you can get rid of the shackles of the setting, you will get total freedom. This is exactly what various philosophical thoughts are constantly pursuing.
I think of suicidal depression patients. When their hormone levels determine that they can only feel pain and weakness, is "suicide" the best way to relieve? Conversely, think about it. Will Rick deliberately set MeeSeek to be a depression patient who is desperate to die, and completing the task is their triger, key, and only way to get free? That's why they are obediently obedient and have a mission?
The other line is the story of Morty's first autonomy to lead Rick on an adventure. There is a lot of information here, and fairy tales are actually not beautiful; the fierce giant is actually just a fragile honest man; in the judicial world, chivalry is just funny street violence; the moral monarch is actually a pedophile. However, these are just color embellishments. What the director really wants to express is the painful growth process of the child and how parents can help the child grow up. For most people, it may not be so unlucky, encountering perverts and sex demons, but it is very possible to encounter someone who once respected so much and do a very despicable thing, and the values that were once so firmly believed will one day collapse. We have probably all experienced the mental journey of surprise, confusion, pain, and escape, but in the end we have to face it to complete our growth.
And Rick did a good job as a parent. After discovering the truth, he did not judge, blame, or educate, but just silently accompany, quietly avenge, and surrender obediently, so that Morty has a happy memory to end this unpleasant adventure. Probably he has already understood that some things, whether you like it or not, can only grow by experiencing it yourself. No one can replace it. As a relative, sometimes it's good to be with you in silence.
Back to Jerry, he and Beth also completed their personal and marriage growth. Jerry regained his confidence because of Beth’s I love U, because his fundamental problem is not incompetence, but cowardice (it is very likely that his childhood was more unfortunate than Morty); Beth is aware of the marital crisis he encountered In fact, it is your own problem, and the meaning of marriage is that when you encounter various problems, the person you love can always be by your side, instead of being a "perfect lover" that disappears overnight. After all, how can there be any perfect people in this world? Look at the "perfect" MeeSeek gentlemen. In order to achieve their own goals, the moment they broke into a restaurant with a gun is no different from terrorists. Just like the "perfect" Hitler, he did not hesitate to spend all of Germany to bury him in order to realize his personal dream. As the designers in the Matrix said, a perfect world is not suitable for humans; perhaps, God has given us imperfections and is the best arrangement for humans.
