Two Takes episodes

  • Death Stranding | The Journey West (pt.2)

    Analysing the video game Death Stranding (2019), exploring the connection from our reality to the world of the game, and the realisation of how close to the world of the dead we really are.

    Death Stranding, within it's created universe, has different strands that both connect and tangle within each other. How the history behind a made up world can reflect certain aspects of ours, whether that be through past events, beliefs or emotional connections,
    and the need for a better future, a change, that essentially saves lives around the main protagonist that we might take for granted.

  • Black Mirror Thoughts (short)

    Black Mirror episodes have always been known to make the audience to question and perhaps even fear the reliance on technology. But in some various overlooked aspects, it can be observed that the thing we should be wary of is the people who use the technology in the first place. Technology has a function and a mindset that is like a machine. It calculates with the code engrained in its system. You couldn't say the same for a person; humans are more emotionally charged, unpredictable, prone to bursts of feeling that can either help or hinder their behaviour.

  • Follow The Red Brick Road... (short)

    There's a strange link between 1939's The Wizard of Oz and Fallout

    If you think about it, Diamond City and the Emerald City are the
    same. Not only because of the colour coincidence but because of the references. We see Dorothy at the beginning of the trail, with a
    swirl of red and yellow brick. In Fallout 4, if you follow the
    Freedom Trail left by the Railroad, you follow the red brick road,
    whereas in Oz, Dorothy only follows the yellow. It's almost as if the
    red trail takes you in the opposite direction to Diamond City...

  • Utopian Society & Human Suffering (short)

    There's this theme within various films like Divergent, I Think We're

    Alone Now, Equals and Equilibrium, to name a few, that are fascinated with the connection of human suffering and the need for a utopian society. To eradicate human emotion, to take it away and to present oneself as a blank slate, does that present a peace of mind, or lack of true freedom?

  • Oppenheimer Thoughts (short)

    In 1927, Heisenberg introduced the Uncertainty Principle according to which the electron's position and momentum can never be determined accurately. Oppenheimer found this fascinating as it contradicted Bohr's theory. The Uncertainty Principle contributed to the development of quantum mechanics and the quantum mechanical model of the atom by the fact that our knowledge of the properties of nature is limited. We can predict, but we can never really know for sure.

  • Science Match The Fantasy? (short)

    The Animatrix short story named 'Beyond' features the same

    occurrences that Jane Foster discovers in Thor: The Dark World. Both going to an abandoned building to find its reality isn't the same as ours. Things float or disappear. Could the aspects of the Matrix, be like the opening of portals to other worlds? Does the science match up to the fantasy?

  • Oppenheimer the American Prometheus (short)

    Why was Oppenheimer named 'The American Prometheus'? The greek titan, Prometheus, was best remembered as the one that defied the Olympian gods, stole fire and gave it to humans to make their lives better. This can be the same for Oppenheimer in two ways. One, he gave them his creation of the atomic bomb, two, both Prometheus and Oppenheimer created powerful technology that needed to be used responsibly, making the consequences become unintentionally good or evil.

  • Loki & Avengers Theory (short)

    There is a moment within the second season of Loki that reminds me of the Avengers. Loki is with his friends in a loop of trying to save the TVA, with B-15, Mobius, O.B, Timely, Casey, and Silvia. Six people, differing skills that collide together to create the team. Loki is the only one, it seems, outside of everything that can make the

    difference.

  • Jaskier The Amazing Devil (short)

    Jaskier, the bard in the Witcher series, seems to follow his dreams in our reality as well. Joey Batey, the actor that plays Jaskier, is also in

    a dramatic, lyrical alt folk band, formed by himself and vocalist
    Madeline Hyland named The Amazing Devil when they met as working actors for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2014. Find their music on Spotify to find the similarities between himself and his character in The Witcher.

  • White Animals And Horror (short)

    The symbolism of white animals, especially dogs, seem to represent

    innocence in a world of chaos. Films like High Rise and The Cell
    emphasis this theory, of a white animal in the midst of horror and
    depravity that seems to either succumb to the destruction by no fault of their own, or become a liability to the main antagonist. Their
    main reason is to show a little light in the darkness, and to
    emphasise whether the protagonist can be saved.
