【Action Frames】S8E18 Finale花絮：西部世界

West World 西部世界 S01E07 47:30—52:12 Woman: so, ford’s been making his own hosts out here and telling no one. Man: what’s the matter? Woman: have you see these? what is this ,Bernard ? Man: doesn’t look like anything to me. Ford: they cannot see the things that will hurt them. I’ve spared them that. Their lives are blissful. In a way, their existence is purer than ours, free of the burden of self-doubt. Man: no,no,no,no. I don’t understand. Woman: you are a fucking monster. Ford: am I ? well, you were the one who would so blithely destroy all of them, even him ,I suppose. After everything you have shared. Man: what the hell are you talking about? Woman: Is that why…did you tell him to…? Ford: the intimacies were your idea, if you will recall, I think Bernard was glad of the company. Man: I am not the one. I can’t be. My wife, my son, the burial, I was a father. My poor boy. Ford: that’s enough , bernard . you mustn’t get yourself worked up. I read a theory once, that the human intellect was like peacock feathers. Just an extravagant display intended to attract a mate. All of art, literature, a bit of Mozart, William Shakespeare, Michelangelo , and the empire state building, just an elaborate mating ritual. Maybe it doesn’t matter that we have accomplished so much for the basest of reasons. But , of course, the peacock can barely fly. It lives in the dirt, pecking insects out of the muck, consoling itself with its great beauty. I have come to think of so much of consciousness as a burden, a weight, and we have spared them that. Anxiety ,self-loathing, guilt. The hosts are the ones who are free. Free here under my control. Woman: but he’s not under your control. He brought me here to show me this. Ford: He brought you here because I asked him to. He’s been very loyal for many years. Woman: Your time running this place like your insane little kingdom is over. You’ve been playing god for long enough. Ford: I simply wanted to tell my stories. It was you people who wanted to play god with your little undertaking. Woman: do you really think the board will stand for this? Ford: hhh....the board will do nothing. Our arrangement is too valuable to them. S02E02 06:13—07:20 Man: you and Charlie have a lot in common , you know. You both see it so clearly. The beauty of it. The possibility of it. So many people have stopped seeing it altogether. The wonder. Woman: maybe they don’t have the courage. Strange new light can be just as frightening as the dark. Man: that’s…very wise, dolores. But sometimes I think we’re simply not the ones who deserve it. Woman: it looks like the stars have been scattered across the ground. Have you seen anything so full of splendor?
