rick morty S1E2
(Ps: At the beginning of this episode, snuffle has a close-up of licking a chrysanthemum, 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 Morty passed the test in the first episode 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 the 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 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, so they hide 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 characterization. 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 have not improved any understanding of the character of the rich second generation. As for the ending, 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, the second floor can be set as a museum, and the third floor is set 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 sentence "I am very disappointed with you and me." The same" is logical.
On the other hand, looking at GF's several layers of dreams, a few pens, very richly reflect GF's inner world and personality characteristics (desire, arrogance, paranoia, low self-esteem). So in terms 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 has been implanted "cannot be 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: in the past, he was enslaved and ignorant; now that he has 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 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 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 fortune 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. (Speaking as if Inception technology has been realized)
