In 1973, "Western World" was released. The dichotomous mind theory was proposed in 1976.

The setting of the movie is that two friends came to westworld to play. In addition to the western world, there are also the Roman world and the medieval world. Two friends, one seemed to have been here many times, and he was dismissive of the introduction and knew the scene very well, much like Logan; while the other was the first time he came here, fresh but a little timid, and understood the robot as a human being. Knowing is the confusion after the robot, etc., much like William. The only special thing was that William refused two prostitutes' offers, and the man in the movie accepted the offer smoothly. There are many contradictions between Logan and William. From the beginning, they did not agree with each other. But the movie does not, and there is no obvious contradiction between the two. The contradiction in this movie lies entirely between the customer (person) and the robot. The robot began to lose control, killing, and "blossoming the paradise". The hero defeated the robot and left the paradise.

On the other hand, the scientist is not a person, but a team. There are some differences within the team, but they did not describe the consequences of the differences in ink. After the robot got out of control, the scientists all died, and the technicians all died. By the time "Future World", westworld was abandoned. Compared to the contradiction between Arnold and Ford, this is completely out of the question.

The female characters appearing in the movie are the prostitutes and innkeepers of Westworld, the queens and maids pursued by real people in the Middle Ages, the female robots who are afraid of water encountered during the escape, and some more background characters. In the American TV series, two female characters, Delores and Maeve, were chosen to construct the story.

Regarding the rattlesnake, it also appeared in the American TV series. Ford completely controlled the rattlesnake, and when the machine got out of control here, the rattlesnake bit the customer.

Going back to the movie itself, setting the cow x, the context is simple, the theory is not solid, so many hard things are not explained. But compared with the American TV series, many conjectures have emerged:

1. Which problem is more serious, the problem of robot and people, or the problem of people and people? Logan was killed by William in Westworld. The contradiction between Ford and Arnold in the real-life period is compared to the contradiction between the team of scientists and the out-of-control robot.

2. The role of William is more obsessive than ordinary people. Is this a setting or is it caused by human nature?

3. The meaning of the main line of female characters?

4. Does the so-called complete control imply that all seeming "awakening" is also a setting under control?
