A breath of fresh air from the usual sci-fi amazing technology movies, The Electric State would leave you awestruck by its simplicity yet complicated imagery. Its just something amazingly different and a beautiful story line intertwined with characters that the viewer can identify with. It is one of those movies that prove that entertainment can be entertaining without sexualization and violent gore.
Thank you for joining us once again on this epic journey of self reflection to uncover life lessons and morals hidden in movies you never thought held so much meaning. Enjoy reading.
- The Enslavement
The movie shows a community of robots rebel against being used and maltreated like slaves. It gives an emotional feeling to animated programed and extremely intelligent robots. This reference to mass enslavement is a symbolic reference to the rat race syndrome or culture of inhumane work policies and processes. It shows robots complain not just about being overworked and misused but also about being unethically disposed after they served their purpose. In reality, the proverbial rat race refers to enslaving work practices and policies that almost turns humans into mindless drones. The robots rebellion against being enslaved is also a reference to the enslavement of angelics by the demonic side of life. If you have been reading our previous blog issues and eBooks you would have a grounded perspective on this issue.
- The Carnage
The movie graphically depicts the problems of war and its consequential destruction of stability and civil life. It shows mass destruction of things and carnage as the after effects of war. Although, a sense of stability is reached, things never actually feel the same and a heightened sense of hostility between humans and robots remain. It is a reference to the Angelic and Demonic Feud which the human race never seems to overcome. It is also a testament to the fact that nothing good really comes from war. As we mentioned in the review of 'Dune Two'; War only begets more war.
- Double Standards
As the war between the humans and robots rages on, the humans develop a neural link system that helps remotely control droids directly connected to the brain. Like most sycophants, they truly only want control rather than a better system. The neural linked droids are quite similar to the disposed robots, but totally under control of the human mind. Its like the classic symbolism from George Orwell's great novel titled 'Animal Farm' which states 'Four legs good, two legs better'. The statement was a reference to people who complain about oppression but also become oppressors when given the chance and opportunity to rule. The problem of double standards, complaining about something only to become much like that thing has been explained in previous reviews including 'Mona Lisa Smile', 'Love Lies Bleeding', 'London Boulevard', 'Honey Don't', 'Subservience', 'American Sweatshop', and 'Mother'. So be mindful of the difference between complainants who want true change and people who are only envious that they aren't the ones in control of things.
- Enslaving freedom
The new neural link robots provide a safe way to harness robotic strengths and accuracy, while offering pleasurable visual experiences to the user at the same time. The invention is promoted as true freedom, but the freedom is addictively enslaving. Much like social media, it has problems of virtual absorbance and disassociation from natural reality. They are ultimately a new kind of enslavement, rather than freedom. An escape from reality by creating happy virtual images, rather than a push to realign or correct the wrongness of things and the disbalance in society. The concept of enslaving freedom has been discussed in previous reviews of 'Original Sin', '99 Moons', 'The White Orchid', and 'Twilight'.
- The Message
Cosmo boy is a robot virtually connected to a source code, and its mission is to save the world. The robot constantly chimes 'The world is in danger' to Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown). Their mission along with Keats (Chris Pratt) and his robot buddy, becomes a mission to save the world from the tyrant corporation seeking total dominance and run by Ethan Skate (Stanley Tucci). The quest for total dominance ultimately leads to the corporations destruction just like we have emphasized in previous reviews like 'League of Thrones', 'The Survivalist', 'The Damned', and 'No Escape'. The quest for ultimate power only ends up being a sequence to total destruction or a self-destruct sequence.
- The Untrustworthy Accuser
During an illegal gun sale, the buyer accuses Keats of being untrustworthy but the buyer had a hidden intention to cheat Keats by killing him and obtaining the weapon without paying. Keats outwits this buyer in the illegal gun deal. This scene is a lesson in understanding people, because the guilty sometimes try to quickly place the blame on other people to draw attention away from themselves and their true intentions. Like we stated in the reviews of 'Mortdecai' and 'The Gentlemen', dirty dealers always want a better deal that's better than the last better deal. In fact, a tendency to indulge in illegal wealth and activities is based on a foundational feeling of greed and discontentment. This discontentment only grows larger as the subject attempts to acquire more and more vanity to fill a void which only grows larger. The human body is a small unit powered by a soul, and vanity never fills our voids. Our voids can only be filled by a correction of the disbalance in our social systems and a realignment of our purpose with the divine programming carried in our DNA or souls.
- Mad Scientist
Christopher (Woody Norman) is unethically neural-linked to the development of remotely controlled droids as the battle between humans and robots waged on. This scientific achievement and the discovery of Christopher's enhanced brain were vital to giving humans an upper hand in the war. However, the outcome and the need to lie to his sister that he died symbolizes the wrongness of the scientific endeavor. In reality, the impatience of mad scientist often leads to an unethical approach to the development of scientific knowledge. This is a retrogressive progress killer that disguises itself as advancements in science. When such impatience is combined with the love for wealth and the 'I don't care attitude' or at worst the 'wickedness' of the demonic essence carriers, it can be disastrous towards the sustenance of peaceful development. Such inventions would take a much longer time to be ethically achieved and many more useful inventions would be discovered along the way to achieving it.
Our world suffers from leapfrogs in its sequences. Leapfrogs that sidelined developmental balance in favor of wealth and ambition. Be mindful of the big picture because we are the past, present, and future. Our home is what we are building, not something for the Annunaki to come for, because we are the Annunaki. We are the ones who fell from Star Wars and became like the Mad Max communities, till our civilizations were completely destroyed and returned to total primitiveness. Stop suffering from myopic bigotry and choose a balanced world in peaceful, economic and social developmental harmony. Not a dystopian or Utopian structure, but an appreciation and tolerance of other peoples views, ways of life, cultures and processes. Totally overcoming discrimination, oppression, and inhumane treatments to the weak and misunderstood aspects of our human developments, as we strive to transmute our spiritual programming in DNA codes into physical reality.
- Right or Wrong
The Marshall Butcher (Giancarlo Esposito) finally realizes that he's fighting for the wrong cause, as he witnesses the cold heartedness of Ethan the owner of the corporation. In the final sequences he lays down his weapons and permits the robots to carry on in their quest for redemption with the following statement; "I have finally meant someone less human than a robot", he says in resignation at his wasted years fighting for the wrong cause. In reality, are you fighting for the right or wrong cause? Are you taking a meaningful stand against what is wrong or for what is right? At the very least, are you passively or actively refusing to support wrongness in favor of the greater good?
We are not asking for a violent rebellion or revolution, we are asking for common reason, common sense in the affairs of men. Every blog on this website has something to say regarding the true direction and expected flow of humanity, please endeavor to enlighten yourself and act accordingly. Its not about being religious or holy, its about accountability, responsibility, and compassion for the weak and downtrodden. Its about building a better world, that is sustainable and pushes humanity beyond the repetitive ground hog days into the proverbial or religious acknowledgment of attaining blissful heavens. Which is only a programmed eulogy of our potential ability to inhabit and guide the entire heavenly cosmos. A fit which can only be achieved in peace. The social and economic balance and peaceful developmental harmony is key to unlocking heaven. It is the very definition of the ability of the mythical god Prometheus to push humanity beyond the cliff of primitiveness and into true civilization, rather than returning to the bottom of the cliff.
