This time, we are talking about the breakup of Beth and Jerry's marriage. The two children followed their grandfather out of the gap. The family problem is the axis of the tree. The wasteland world is the background. , and then expand to other problem angles to extend the various details in the film.
Wasteland Apocalypse caters well to summer's coping style of fleeing from his family and his radical state of mind. Like many "contemporary hippies", it's easy to want to abandon past lives and fall into nihilism.
The wild world is on the opposite side of family life. In the background of the wasteland, some people are corrupted by the media and irradiation, and the other part has become a beast-like apocalypse. The extreme killing and fighting of abandoning normal life is enough to paralyze all axiology. As later revealed, this "brutal charm" (rick's sarcasm) hides a vulgar "mustache", and when rick brings back technological civilization and media, it actually makes them who are heading for the apocalypse of civilization. Returning to the ground, re-regulated and easily cynic. I burst out laughing ("I'm going to use your blood as body lotion" these details are very interesting, and all the satire and details arranged for my grandfather show diametrically opposed rational values, such as "wrong, it's just normal blood". Doomsday People are still talking about beauty? Isn’t there buried values that are homologous to corrupt people?)
This part is so hilarious. The people of the last days "have not left, only the enemy and ourselves", because there is no further meaning to pursue, their radicalism is a kind of no choice, and they will easily let go of this radicalism once they have the opportunity. Does n't this empty radicalism look like a robot pursuing " the taste of real ice cream "?
Rick is a past person, and he has seen the crux of the world and the times, not to mention the psychological problems of children. He certainly understands that this is all just a landscape (and the model machine-made family life is just as much a "landscape"), and at best an adventure to solve family problems with his grandchildren, which remains their relationship at the heart of that adventure. The only thing of value was the isotope that was named blasphemous, and he had "a more forward meaning", so he was the only one of the three who rushed to leave, and he did not reside in the wasteland.
And Summer went from the beginning of "so they don't have to hunt us down... a bunch of scumbags." Soon he got into the play to "surrender, we'll show you mercy." When rick was in a hurry to leave, Morty also negotiated conditions with him, and he wanted to "go home and do laundry". This is the performance of a child who is looking for a new life but can't completely leave home. It's very cute.
It was the big arm that made him find a new sense of life, a strong arm that appeared when his muddy father Jerry was sent off, the first ally, an idealized father who was the exact opposite of reality. role , to defend him, to give him the strength to wash away the past. This is how Morty faced disappointment with his biological father and family breakdown. But Big Arm is not his real blood relative after all, they each have their own destiny. (Stronger is always the bond of affection) When the big arm left him, morty still shivered like a child unsupported by the person it was about to kill.
At this moment, rick appeared. He reached out and overlapped where the father was supposed to be, for a brief moment like an illusion. But at this moment, I am afraid there is no bond stronger than this hand.
(About the hand, when Big Arm first fought violently on Morty, he used his right arm to block his eyes to resist. After Big Arm disappeared, he could not kill with his own hands. His sense of morality still oppressed him. But here In between, when his grandfather was in danger, he didn't hesitate to shoot rick's attacker in the head with his right hand . )
Finally they left. Because this is just an adventure, just one of the chapters of a new life.
Small summer is more deeply influenced by family than morty. I guess it's less stable because rick shows less of her absurdity. This episode is simply rick's genetic explosion. It feels that the fatherly love she received in her childhood may be lacking, and her disappointment with the muddy father is also reflected in the choice of the opposite sex (I also talked with friends today that from her boyfriend ex, sumsum needs a person who can heal each other In this way, it makes sense for Rick to bring less sum. Rick has a very different attitude towards his grandsons, and towards Morty, he throws it into the sea of fire and carries it everywhere...). But she finally faced her father. Although this person could no longer give her any guidance, she still seemed to hope that she could be more mature and give her father some advice. In the end, she did not completely cut off her past father and life, but she knew not to look back.
Speaking of rick, in fact, as always, rick cannot say that he needs a "coping method" for himself. But he loves his daughter. How to balance emotion (family, the significance of the universe to rick) and self-interest (values such as isotopes that can be accurately defined by rationalism) has always been a focus of rick, and he can always come up with the best solution. This time he shoved a precisely designed "model" family life into his daughter's hands as if he thought it would fill in the family's role as compensation, making it a rick-like approach. And then the screenwriter quickly revealed the absurdity of this templated ideal family life.
Robot morty shouts " I want to really try ice cream ".. We can't know for sure whether AI can experience ice cream and simulate various emotions as "real" as humans, but rick must know that our "reality" is absolutely different from the symbol in his mouth, which is just wtf. His indifferent attitude is precisely because he understands what is important to him in this chaotic and absurd universe. He understands that if he loses what is precious between them, just as the stars lose their reference to each other, they will become a speck of snow on the flowery curtain.
So on the contrary, Jerry doesn't want to talk about it at all. just smile
In this episode, let's see that rick's favorite beth>morty>summer, rushing back to the wasteland world to find the grandchildren's big opportunity, or the double grandchildren did not handle it well, so the daughter still cried (let's make a bread machine). After kicking Jerry out, she continued to pet her daughter every day. In the end, rational calculation took the optimal solution to get summer home faster, and left beth for three months to "reverse" the wasteland civilization, let them get what they "deserve" and take all he could.
The lack of inner description is one of the charms of this show. We can't always see at a glance whether rick really doesn't care about summer or uses morty as an amusement park token. We don't even know if the morty we saw this time has been withered, as if cunning like him has this "unpredictable" nature. But we can still believe that our rick is still the most sentimental, glib but not leaving his family, the most rick, in the universe.
