Frustration and Acceptance – “Pantheon” After Viewing “Living Towards Death” (1)

Thought upload, still have to face death. People cannot deceive, they cannot bargain. Only to swallow the bitter fruit of mourning, digest, grow.

Pantheon, this sci-fi animation will discuss uploading intelligence in human death mourning culture, forming a mild and bright tone, wonderful and diverse styles, and a deep and dense core.

The issues posed by upload intelligence are different in the animation’s three main lines, but their stories and themes blend together. All three lines describe the death of a person and describe five stages of mourning for them in five shades. The Kim family loves parting, there is blue frustration, yellow accepts; the Caspian family hates the meeting, black denial; Chanda can’t ask, is red anger. Consciousness uploading and cloning are human’s pleas for the green of life and death. In the end, the character reshapes the “self” in mourning, just as the uploading smart UI is born after the death of the human body. It can be said that this animation defines life with death.

This article analyzes Kim’s line of blue’s frustration and yellow’s acceptance.

story

The animation has three protagonists, all of whom are dying or losing their loved ones. This confrontation, or mourning, is depicted in five main tones, which seem to correspond to the five stages of mourning. The Five Stages of Mourning is a theory developed by Kübler-Roth in his 1969 book On Death and Dying, based on the experiences of 200 seriously ill patients. It describes five thought patterns or emotions a person may experience during the mourning process, namely denial, anger, pleading, frustration and acceptance. (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance)

In the animation, Maddie Kim and her mother lost their father David Kim to a serious illness, mainly experiencing blue depression and yellow acceptance. The Caspian House is an experiment in an attempt to recreate the experiences of the dead Holstrom and breed his clones. His former lover, the family’s “mother” Renee, is a black denial, first ignoring the violence at home, and later rejecting his own destiny, as does Caspian. Chanda in India considered quitting jobs, but was brutally killed by the boss, and chose revenge. There is a risk of exposure, so violence is chosen. He is red fury. And the method of consciousness uploading and cloning itself is the human being’s plea for the green of life and death.

In the end, the character reshapes the “self” in mourning, just as the uploading smart UI is born after the death of the human body.

Frustrated: The blue bird stops the thorns, and the body cannot be redeemed

The beloved blue bird died suddenly among the thorns, which is very sad, and it is not a pity to want to die for him a hundred times.

Mourning, mourning is naturally the main sound. Frustrated in the last five stages, but that is the return to the true after all the twists and turns. In purely emotional terms, the sadness and depression themselves lingered. Freud said in “Sorrow and Depression”: “Love retreats into the ‘self’ and withdraws into the ‘sublation’.” [1] Judith Butler believes that negativity (sublation) is internalized by the mourner, Generated their “mental terrain structure”. The bitter fruit of death is shared by the mourners, and everyone eats a little death, which is naturally very sad. But it was also forced to grow.

The animation uses dull blue to express Maddie Kim’s grief at the death of her father. In the first episode, she recalled that her father was seriously ill in the hospital and gave her a computer. Originally happy, she remembered that she wondered if her father’s situation had changed, and she wanted to explain the funeral.

After Maddie’s hard work and getting along with the family, they finally accepted that David was really back. With the help of Laurie Lowell, a financial trader who is also UI, they took back David’s memory and neural network hard drive from Logorhythm, which was responsible for uploading and concealing the news, freeing David. But then they discovered the flaw, the flaws in the upload technology, and the inability to complete the upload (integrity) caused the UI to die. As the amount of computation increases, they will slowly deteriorate and die. UI has to face death. In the world arms race provoked by Chanda, the special wars of various countries intensified, and UI endangered the survival of people. So Lowell and David Kim successively decided to use up their computing power to advertise UI and sacrifice themselves for mankind.

At the last minute, David Kim looked at his daughter, played Lowell’s last words with all his might, and smiled in the shredded death.

Acceptance: Tao Zhi Yao Yao, Father Returns to IKEA

For those who have lost their loved ones, the days when their loved ones are there are when the peach blossoms bloom. How do they accept this fact when their loved ones are away?

Melancholia reveals to us that the “self” can only be formed by absorbing the other and making it the “self”. [1]

The fondest memories of Maddie and Mom are with David, warm memories.

The father is gone, it is the mother’s acceptance that props up the family.

The judgment of conscience gives way to the judgment of reality, and reality confronts the melancholy with a dilemma: should he die with the dead, or should he take the opportunity to survive? [1]

How many days and nights washed her face with tears and sat in shock in her dreams, she decided to take a step forward and start a new life for herself and her daughter. She continued to work and even started dating. Her warm heart is like the warm yellow color at home, but it is still a little gloomy.

When her husband typed out a love poem between the two on the terminal with an emoji package, she got out of anger and questioned the logarithmic algorithm company why it said that the uploading failed at that time, and this is the case now. It turned out that the company only retained David’s work ability, and isolated the language module for insurance, but in order to stimulate creativity, it added emotion, and the result was out of control. David captures memories, makes tentative contact with Maddie, and helps her fight school bullying.

At this time, she confessed the situation to Maddie, but insisted in denial: it was not her own David who uploaded, and letting him go was the most painful decision she had ever made, but the living must continue to survive.

For Maddie, it was the light of hope that came through the window in the dark.

With the help of Lowell, regaining her father’s neural network and memory is like allowing her to bathe in the sun again until the UI problem is exposed.

In the end, she slowly accepted her father’s death accompanied by her father. As Freud pointed out, people cannot escape their dependence on the deceased without directly “declaring” “lost” and acknowledging that the deceased is dead, without expressing hostility towards the deceased and removing it from the altar. emotion.

In the warm yellow lights and the endless blue night, Maddie accepted her father’s departure. She was sad but also hugged tightly.

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in.
They come, they come, to build a wall between us.
We know they won’t win.
