pain, unforgettable

Nolan said before that he watched the eighth episode of everything, thinking that he could piece together a large piece of the puzzle after watching it, but after reading it, he just wanted to scold the Three Character Classic. There has been progress, but not far enough from what was wanted. Compared with the impatient people who eat melons, the director's speed is too slow. But we have already waited until the eighth episode, will the tenth episode be far behind? Hey, that seems to be the only way to go.

The story is not in a hurry, let's talk about the music that adds a lot to the film. In the seventh episode, when Aunt Mei was outside the glass door, watching her little friend being operated without expression, the depressing and sad music made me unforgettable for a long time.

The composer for Westworld is Ramin Djawadi, a German-Iranian composer who composes orchestral scores for film and television. The music in the series of blockbusters such as "Prison Break", "Game of Thrones", "Pacific Rim", "Suspect Tracker", "Iron Man" and "Warcraft" that you are familiar with are all made by him. man. The music and rhythm of the film fit seamlessly in each film, and it's the same in this one.

The opening song in "Westworld" is stretched and melodious at the beginning, accompanied by a deliberate slowdown, the finely crafted printer needle pulls out the flesh and blood of Hosts little by little, but in the latter part of the music suddenly becomes urgent, weapons appear, The picture is still walking slowly and slowly, and there is a hidden conflict between the movements, which makes people never get tired of listening to it.

After the opening credits, Bernard is distraught, but Ford says:

"You should be proud, the guilt, the distress, the fear, the grief that you feel is unparalleled beauty, that you created these feelings that none of these human engineers can do. Feelings."

Ford said he could help Bernard delete all his little secrets with Teresa, all sweet and painful. As long as he does something for him, he can return to the shrewd and capable Bernard he used to be.

So Bernard deleted all the data from the system that might lead others to suspect him or Ford, and burned those sweet little notes. He chose to completely delete Teresa, the woman he felt he had loved, from his memory.

Suddenly remembered that Bernard was talking about his son's death in a video call with his wife (although that was just an illusion now), he said that the pain was the only thing his son left him, and he didn't want to go forget.

Demei said the same thing at the beginning of episode 4 when her parents died one time. Demei said that all the people she cared about had died, which was heartbreaking. Bernard asked her if she wanted to forget and he could help her forget it all. Demei said:
"Why should I do that? This kind of pain is the only thing they have left. You think that grief will make you weaker, that you will completely disintegrate, but it is not. I feel that my heart is opened again. Space, like moving a building with many rooms I've never explored."

What will we keep in mind? Love makes us satisfied and content with the status quo; while pain makes us grow, and unforgettable pain is more like a long whip, whipping you forward.

Aunt Mei also experienced the same pain, and it was the pain of losing her daughter in the last role that contributed to her first awakening.

The man in black said that his wife died a year ago, and he went to Paradise to indulge himself, proving that he was not just a hypocrite, he also had a bad side. And this is the real function of the existence of Paradise, showing the true self and doing whatever they want, so she killed her daughter in front of Aunt Mei.

The man in black said that they thought they were both dead, but Aunt Mei refused to die, so she struggled to get up and hugged her daughter and refused to let go. Even after the research center was erased by Ford, she was able to pick up a knife and self-harm. What makes her so persistent? It's still the pain that I can't let go, can't let go.

The Man in Black thinks he's discovered a more advanced game in the park, Arnold's game, a game that hurts, is unforgettable, and as for what the hell the benevolent director will let us give before the end of the first season.

In the eighth episode, with the help of Feige, Aunt Mei removed the anti-escape device, improved the core program, upgraded the hardware and software, and became the new Boss in the park. From then on, when her eyes turned around, when her red lips opened lightly, she could immediately control other Hosts for her use, and she wanted to escape from the paradise.

Ford says it's best not to get caught up in those troubling memories, or else you'll be engulfed in them. Doesn't that mean the same thing to who? We always say let the past pass, there is no chasm that cannot be crossed, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, one day we will slowly forget it, this is the function of the brain, we will selectively forget some things, will There is a memory gap.

But Hosts won't, their memory is complete, continuous and clear, so Demei and Aunt Mei have been in a trance, not knowing which is the real self at this moment. Looking at it this way, maybe we should be thankful for our amnesia about the past?

Teddy was stimulated by the man in black and began to remember the parts that he should not remember, and the demon Wyatt was about to appear; Bernard also appeared in the parts that he should not remember after Ford deleted some of his memories; and the fully upgraded May Can the aunt really escape the paradise; Demei finds the white-roofed church that has always been repeated before; how will the story develop next? Hope the next episode will be more exciting.
