This self-torture of the soul

From the large scale of the first season to the sublimation of the second season, this is the transformation of Wachowski from brother to sister. It is from the Matrix thinking about the relationship between humans and machines to the movie Cloud Atlas thinking about the reincarnation and self-redemption of the soul. And hypersensory hunting shows us another picture. This is a self-examination of the human soul. From the foggy beginning to the second season, the existence of another ethnic group has been rolled out. They can communicate with each other, feel each other's joy and pain, and even sex. There's something else and content involved, with Wachowski's post-gender shift in mind, deeply involved with homosexuality, political exchange, and the dark side of human nature. In the end, the whole drama is a self-torture of the soul, a carnival of ideas, and the release of a long-suppressed power.

1. To live is to feel pain, and to feel pain is to strive for freedom and happiness. Everything Angelica suffered was because of love and hope, resistance for freedom and survival.

Second, how people should survive is to wear a mask and bear everything, just like Rodriguez disguised himself, and finally came out bravely for love. This involves the issue of homosexuality, and the crazy carnival of the Rainbow Parade is also a release of rights and power.

3. Fight and tolerate? Wolfgang personally killed his father, for his sister, his "mother".

4. Pain and redemption, Jonathan finally fulfilled his promise, and after suffering a series of pain and torture, he finally completed his self-redemption.

5. Love and hope. The final union of Nomi and Amanda brought together Lana Wachowski's "private goods", and the unacceptable love affair was finally blessed by family and friends, thus achieving reconciliation between "heresy" and the secular world.

Sixth, break the bondage and tradition, and pursue transcendence and liberation. The last physical carnival in the final chapter produced an artistic film and the feeling of stream of consciousness. In the end, it was a great liberation of the body and soul, breaking all rules and constraints, surpassing everything, and finally achieving "sublimation"

It’s been a long time since the first season ended, and I watched it intermittently, and I didn’t have much time to revisit it coherently. I think what Wachowski wanted to express was more of a reflection on social injustice. and support for vulnerable groups. It just ended in a hurry, I think there should be more things she wants to express.

Amor Vincit Omnia quotes

  • Daniela: I know your kind. Men that mistake cruelty for strength. Living your petty little lives, so limited. We both know that if I were to pull this trigger, not a single person would shed a tear. The smallness of your kind is nothing to fear, only to pity.

  • Hernando Fuentes: First, I have to admit that the closest I've come to executing a military strategy was gaining tenure at my university, but it seems that what this plan needs is a Trojan horse.

    Puck: Uh, I'm not really sure how that's going to help us, mate, but a couple of Trojans right here.

    [Pulls out a pack of condoms]

    Hernando Fuentes: No. No, that wasn't quite what I had in mind.
