It is said that the American drama "Westworld" plans to shoot the sixth season. HBO has now renewed the fourth season of "Westworld". I wonder if you will be pleasantly surprised after hearing this news?
Frankly speaking, I still hope that this drama can be finished as soon as possible. One is to avoid the risk of unfinished endings, and the other is that it is not easy to write the analysis of the episodes of this drama. If I continue like this, I will go crazy.
I was hesitant to abandon the pit before, because this season does not seem to have the height of the previous two seasons. However, a very exciting episode was staged after that. The sixth episode of the third season also had the philosophical depth of the past, which made me start to look forward to the follow-up plot.
[Warm reminder: The following contains spoilers]
Charlotte
Demei deliberately leaked the company's data, and the human world was shrouded in panic and depression.
Of course, not all human beings are willing to trust the system. Charlotte's ex-husband did not check his own data. He believes that the future is unpredictable and the decision is still in his own hands.
The chaotic and out-of-control social order has instead provided Serak with convenience. He can kill board members in broad daylight and take the opportunity to acquire and control the entire Delos Company.
After Serac came to the Delos Company, he ordered the data of the three consciousness spheres to be retrieved from the park, and then directly destroyed all the company's data.
Demei asked Charlotte to stay in the Delos Company and promptly extracted the data of the receptionist in the backup park.
Although Charlotte obeyed Demei's instructions, she couldn't help expressing her worries. She is not a person who fears death, but is worried that her family will be in danger.
Demei reminds Charlotte that she is too deeply involved in the play: what you have is my consciousness, and now you are just borrowing Charlotte's body, which does not mean that Charlotte's family is your family.
Charlotte asked Demei why she kept the emotional function, which could be erased in the code in the first place. Demei explained that it was not that she had not considered it before, but if she changed herself just to survive, what was the point of surviving?
Teddy once said something similar: "What's the point of surviving if we become as bad as they are?"
At that time, Demei did a bad thing with good intentions, thinking that deleting Teddy's emotions would allow him to survive better, but it led to Teddy's suicide.
It was precisely because the previous lessons were too profound that Demei decided to go with the flow and not control Charlotte's emotions.
Remember in episode 4 Charlotte put a needle in William's neck before he sent him to the mental hospital?
That needle was to inject William into a blood tracker, which is why William was monitored for an unknown protein in his body.
Charlotte used the blood tracker to locate William's exact location - Sonora, Mexico.
After she downloaded and backed up the data of the receptionist in the park, she transferred it to the server in William's body. So William played a vital role in storing data, just like the old German sister's father, Abernathy.
"I can't say for sure, she's the same as me, but it's very different by taking a different path."
Demei copied four of her own consciousness balls and put them in different bodies. These cloned avatars of Demei will be affected by the body's own experience and personality, so that they will no longer be the original Demei.
Bernard knows this, telling Martin Conor in the last episode: "Experiencing another person's life changes you."
Bernard, who has Arnold's appearance and life memories, was once confused about who he really was.
Martin Conor actually had the same conflicting feeling, but he didn't have a strong rejection like Charlotte.
From the day Charlotte was created by Demei, there was a crisis of self-identity.
She combines the advantages of Charlotte and Demei, and is regarded as an evolutionary version of the two.
Charlotte used to be ruthless and cruel, and believed that her career was a priority over her family. It was not until she was in danger on the night of the Dark Night Journey that she realized the importance of her son to herself, so she recorded a video to express her love for her son.
Charlotte is more human now than she was before, and that's what makes Serak see who she is, because Charlotte never took the time to care for her son.
Selack's claim isn't entirely correct, though. The real Charlotte Hale still cares a little about her family, otherwise she wouldn't have left that video to her son.
After witnessing the death of her ex-husband and son, Charlotte, who was reborn from the ashes, has since turned black.
The person who planned the car explosion accident may be Demei, because Charlotte is going to flee with her family, and seems unwilling to do things for Demei again, and Serak had previously told his subordinates that he would capture Charlotte alive, and it was impossible for a second. The plan is to capture it alive, and Charlotte will be put to death in the next second.
Maeve
Maeve had fallen under Musashi's sword before, and now she's been restarted by Serak.
"Human memory is flawed and even the most precious moments are forgotten. But you (receptionists) don't, every image you see is recorded and stored. You have no past because it is under your control. Every moment is now."
What Serac said to Maeve in the virtual world was quite philosophical, and it was a profound exposition of the essential difference between a receptionist and a human being.
For the safety and future of her daughter, Maeve can only agree to Serak's condition to help him fight against the German sister.
Then Maeve was put back into the virtual world of war. She, who was already very familiar with the script, fully opened up and took control of everything in the park.
Maeve, who was in high spirits, even did it herself, and defeated all the soldiers of the Nazi army with one person.
In the face of such an invincible operation, the melon-eating crowd, Lee Heathmore, who was watching the scene, was stunned.
"Do you expect me to go back to work after realizing I don't even exist?"
Although this Lee Heathmore was forged, he was still as naughty as ever, and he could be regarded as inheriting the character's previous character.
Especially the small expression when he acts as a light bulb behind him, it should not be too vivid...
Maeve had made it clear that he needed help before, so Serak simply put Maeve's old lover, Hector, into the virtual war world.
Since Hector's control unit was uploaded to the park this time, Maeve was able to restore Hector's memory through her own abilities.
Maeve then discovers that in addition to her old lover, Demei is also in this virtual park. However, this German girl is not the original but a copy. Her consciousness ball was in the body of Martin Conor, who had already been offline. Conor was the assistant man next to Liam, the young master of the technology company.
What Serac had always wanted was the decryption code of Delos' patent data, which was now in Demei's head.
Charlotte, who was previously an undercover agent in the Delos Company, failed to obtain the key. Serac deliberately asked Maeve to meet the replica German girl this time, just to see if Maeve could use the identity and ability of the receptionist. , get what he wants from Demei.
However, after some discussion between Maeve and Demei, they still do not trust each other, and in the end they cannot reach an agreement.
Demei had already made a plan for this, and the subsequent smashing of the mandarin ducks completely intensified the contradiction between the two.
After Maeve's old lover fell, Demei who was in front of her also went offline not long after, because Charlotte not only crushed Hector's consciousness ball, but also took away the copy of Demei's consciousness ball.
Charlotte broke into the Delos lab at the time and saw four receptionists in a state of being printed, two of the known receptionists being Maeve and Hector.
Serac obtained three consciousness balls from the Delos Company, and the corresponding three receptionists would become Maeve's helpers.
Hector's consciousness ball has been crushed by Charlotte, which means that he may have little chance of surviving. Who are the remaining two receptionists will be revealed at the beginning of the next episode:
One is Maeve's former colleague Clementine, and the other is the serpentine woman in the shogun world, the agile female archer.
William
William's storyline never disappoints audiences, and this episode of his psychotherapy in rehab is particularly exciting.
He was initially placed in a mutual aid group, which apparently was of no use to the stubborn William.
"Humans are a thin layer of bacteria on a ball of mud rushing towards nothingness. I think if there was a God, he would have abandoned us long ago, he gave us a paradise, and we used up everything.. ... The purpose of all human existence is to hasten the demise of this planet, and we are all maggots of the tarsus."
His speech was strongly pessimistic, and his satire on human beings this time was quite Ford's shadow... So it seems that William will not be able to get rid of Ford's influence in his life.
William is still escaping the truth about his daughter's death, refusing to receive any medical treatment.
Later, in the process of talking with the psychiatrist, his psychological defense line gradually collapsed, and he began to show the regret of killing his daughter.
However, the female doctor who treated William soon fell into the dilemma of "the psychiatrist cannot heal himself".
Because Demei leaked the data of Rehoboan's system, every human being knew his own destiny in advance.
The doctor's future life was not optimistic. To make matters worse, her family decided to cut off contact with her. In the end, she committed suicide because she could not accept the cruel reality.
William was then forced to undergo augmented reality therapy, which has been widely used in veterans with PTSD.
Caleb had this treatment before, and we see implants embedded in William's mouth.
In that virtual therapy situation, William first met the Confederate leader, the receptionist who appeared in season two.
Demei once asked Teddy to execute the gang of evil Confederates. However, the kind Teddy did not shoot to kill, but let everyone go. Demei was deeply disappointed by Teddy's disobedience at the time.
William was then taken to a room, and everything in front of him made him spit out the fragrance:
In addition to the famous scenes of many William gathering together, there is also his father-in-law who always likes to say: "William, my child"...
William at different times sat together and discussed why his life has come to such a place.
They threw the blame at each other, thinking that the bad results had nothing to do with them.
From the words they quarreled with each other, we can look back on William's life and the important events that led to his transformation.
It is worth mentioning that an experience from William's childhood is specially added here: because a classmate said that his father was an alcoholic, he fought back with his fist and beat the classmate severely.
It can be seen that William himself had a tendency to violence in his childhood. When he grew up, he strongly suppressed the dark side of his heart, until his first experience in the park completely released his own desires, and he has been out of control since then...
Just when the discussion was deadlocked, the father-in-law, who played the role of the host, sent a soul torture to William:
"Is this the inevitable ending? Are you just passing through? Is your life just what happened to you or did you choose?"
In fact, William seems to be luckier than Caleb, after all, the Rehoboam system had not yet been born when he was young.
At the bottom with violent tendencies like William, there is no chance for him to stand out now:
The system will not only send it to the dangerous battlefield for transformation, but even interfere with love and marriage, so there is basically no possibility that a Phoenix man can find a rich woman to become rich and change his destiny.
"If you can't tell the difference, what's the difference?"
If you can't tell the truth yourself, what difference does it make to someone who has lost himself, whether the root cause of tragedy is self-selection or fate?
"For better or worse, it's what we've done that led to all this, and I finally understand the meaning of my existence. I'm a good person."
William decided to take charge of his own destiny, he killed his past self and is no longer a prisoner of his own sins.
Bernard and Stubbs came to the rehabilitation center at this time, awakening William who was being treated.
Will Bernard continue to make soy sauce next? Will William bring more surprises? Let's wait and see.
We spend our whole lives cultivating ourselves and striving to be a better person.
However, in the process of growing up, you will inevitably face all kinds of temptations, and you will be affected by the surrounding environment and your own experience without knowing it. look.
What's the point of living if you lose yourself in order to survive?
Charlotte, Maeve and William all went through the process of reinventing themselves in this episode: Maeve and Charlotte who lost their loved ones were forced to change, and the seeds of revenge were planted in their hearts; they chose to bid farewell to the past William, There seems to be a tendency to want to achieve self-redemption. It must be the moment when they are fully fired up.
The price of breaking into a butterfly is unbearable, but only in this way can you find your true self.
