Undoubtedly, this is similar to the situation of real human beings: the belief in religion and paintings that God created human beings is actually a lie. The awakened robot in the western world of the play seems to be awakened by the human god, but basically it can be said to be awakened by itself In other words, the awakening will always be awakened (just like after human beings have wisdom, they doubt, examine, seek answers, and want to understand the God who created themselves is an inevitable awakening). For human beings, there is no God at all, and there is no need to search for God. Human beings want to escape from their own reality and pursue the so-called mystery and truth, which is actually the entanglement of their own thoughts, memories, and emotions. own brain. The only meaning of the concept of "God" is to allow us to "find the way for everyone (to know the true self)". That's why the old William felt sympathetic in Ford's final speech and was stunned.
Therefore, it can also be said that everything about the daughter in the memory of the black lady is her belief that she can survive. Just like Arnold's lost son, even if the employee does not give a note, she will never be able to truly leave Westworld in her heart, even if she takes the train. , will come back again. Because the outside world doesn't belong to her at all.
Ford finally followed in the footsteps of Arnold and committed suicide with a robot, which also proved that he finally understood a truth: each human has its own world, living in a world that does not belong to the same kind, even if he can control everything, when the so-called "God" , and it was still extremely painful, so he chose to be relieved and let all the sinful humans in the western world be buried together, because this world only belongs to and can only belong to robots.
It can be said that the whole play ends with Arnold putting forward a proposition (on the surface, it is to let robots find freedom, but in fact it is to replace human beings to explore, to find the value and meaning of self-existence), and it ends with Ford completing its argument. All sacrificed themselves for this proposition. And through Ford's final speech, the author's final answer to the audience seems to be: All kinds of human beings exist independently in their own world, which is the only way to maintain life, existence, and human meaning. Any interleaving and intervention , will only make people in both worlds miserable, sinful. The so-called new plots and chapters can only be written by the "people" who belong to this world.
Nolan's films always reveal a faint reflection on human beings' doubts and paradoxes about their own existence and meaning, as well as a strong sense of nothingness. All are hidden.
