[00:00] Paul. In this video, we're&nbsp; breaking down the back rooms. Sorry, backrooms. Drop the D. It's cleaner. The&nbsp; brand new A24 horror has a lot to unpack from it,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:17] I want to go through some of the big things in the&nbsp; movie and try to answer the unanswered questions.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know that trying to explain this film is like&nbsp; trying to tell someone to draw a dog who's never&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:29] seen one, but yeah, going to give it my best.&nbsp; Now, the first question you probably have is&nbsp;&nbsp; what are the back rooms? Well, I'm sure you know&nbsp; by now as this movie's been out a couple of weeks,&nbsp;&nbsp; but in case you don't, backrooms started as a&nbsp; creepy pasta 4chan thread in 2019. Their users&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:45] started talking about how you could end up in an&nbsp; infinite liinal indoor space with endless yellow&nbsp;&nbsp; walls, much like we see in the movie. people&nbsp; started building up the legend that you could&nbsp;&nbsp; no clip or glitch through a wall in reality and&nbsp; end up in the back rooms. If you've ever played&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:58] a a game where you've glitched through a wall or&nbsp; something, then you'll probably know the feeling&nbsp;&nbsp; and users claimed it was happening in real life.&nbsp; A community then built up the mythology of the&nbsp;&nbsp; back rooms with every user adding in their own&nbsp; experience in law. This became its own neverending&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:12] thing with nothing but personal touches. So,&nbsp; in a way, the back rooms became its own back&nbsp;&nbsp; rooms. Right from the off though, they got a&nbsp; lot of things down that come across to the film,&nbsp;&nbsp; including the constant buzzing, fluorescent&nbsp; lights, and long and neverending environment. If&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:25] you kids are as old as me as well, h then you'll&nbsp; probably remember what it was like being dragged&nbsp;&nbsp; through shopping malls with your parents before&nbsp; the invention of mobile phones. It was rough,&nbsp;&nbsp; mate. It was rough. Everything seemed dull and&nbsp; uninteresting, and there was a constant state&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:39] of boredom. We had no headphones, no podcasts, no&nbsp; YouTubers to keep us distracted. just that music&nbsp;&nbsp; in the background and our parent pulling our&nbsp; arm along. It was hell and I vividly remember&nbsp;&nbsp; it was like watching a screen crush video. But&nbsp; that's very much the feeling I got when watching&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:54] the movie, especially with it being set in the&nbsp; '90s. Everything feels familiar yet slightly off.&nbsp;&nbsp; And it kind of reminds me of those early AI mods&nbsp; where faces and places all had something slightly&nbsp;&nbsp; wrong with them. If you've ever photocopied a&nbsp; photocopy of a photocopy, then you'll no doubt&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:08] have experienced something called generation&nbsp; loss. Every time you copy something, the copy&nbsp;&nbsp; can't completely replicate it, and the certain&nbsp; information is lost. Doing this over and over&nbsp;&nbsp; would create something that barely resembles the&nbsp; original. And that's kind of what the back rooms&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:21] have become, which we see perfectly as we move&nbsp; through the floors and see Mary's childhood home&nbsp;&nbsp; over and over. But the film itself is directed by&nbsp; Kane Parsons, who puts us in the shoes of Clark&nbsp;&nbsp; and Mary. The former is a divorced architect whose&nbsp; business is struggling, and he discovers a back&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:34] room when going through the underfloor. The entire&nbsp; movie is filled with an idea of duality and the&nbsp;&nbsp; thought that as is above, so is below. Beyond the&nbsp; back room's entrance being in this basement, we&nbsp;&nbsp; also have the idea of duality lights throughout.&nbsp; For example, the logo for the film looks like the&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:48] letters are shifted to create two of each of them.&nbsp; Clark doesn't know if the store is pirate themed&nbsp;&nbsp; or Ottoman Empire themed. Mary is obsessed with&nbsp; two concrete handprints from when she was younger,&nbsp;&nbsp; and so on and so on. Hell, even the therapy&nbsp; roleplay session is played out twice with it&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:01] happening in the real world and later in the&nbsp; back rooms. At its most basic level though,&nbsp;&nbsp; the back rooms feel like almost a memory trying&nbsp; to manifest itself. We all have a subconscious&nbsp;&nbsp; buried deep inside of us, and the back room&nbsp; feels like it's filled with these lost moments,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:14] a window within, if you will. This is, of course,&nbsp; the name of Mary's book as well, which deals with&nbsp;&nbsp; tackling things buried within us. There's also&nbsp; an idea in physics that the past doesn't actually&nbsp;&nbsp; exist because all we do is inhabit the present.&nbsp; I'll let someone smarter than me explain that. Uh,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:28] but it did cross my mind that the back rooms may&nbsp; even be the past occupying a space below us. The&nbsp;&nbsp; back room seems to be a place where trauma exists&nbsp; in a material form and it comes in to fill this&nbsp;&nbsp; empty void. Even Clark falling from the chair from&nbsp; the commercial is something that repeats down in&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:43] the back rooms because of how embarrassing that&nbsp; moment was. The endide shirt also appears down in&nbsp;&nbsp; the lair as well and this was what was worn by&nbsp; Bobby during that scene. And the next question&nbsp;&nbsp; that builds off what are the back rooms is what&nbsp; are the entities? These actually got introduced&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:57] in the law very early on and popped up in some&nbsp; of the first images on 4chan. I really think&nbsp;&nbsp; this adds to what the backrooms are though&nbsp; and how if you spend too long down there,&nbsp;&nbsp; you'll eventually get found. Now, according to&nbsp; the backroomsfandom.com article, entities are the&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:12] unnatural creatures and beings that inhabit&nbsp; the endless liinal spaces. They range from&nbsp;&nbsp; predatory monsters to distorted mimics, and their&nbsp; nature varies depending on the law source. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; that's that. Now, for the next part of the video,&nbsp; I am going to talk about some of the entities. Uh,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:25] but I have to say that some of these aren't in&nbsp; Kane's cannon. Um, and they're just made up by&nbsp;&nbsp; other people. So whether these ones will appear&nbsp; or not down the line, something that remains to&nbsp;&nbsp; be seen, but the film's versions are pretty much&nbsp; all still lives who are humanoid creatures that&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:39] can sometimes be aggressive. They're created when&nbsp; the back rooms tries to copy reality and creates&nbsp;&nbsp; a figure to fill a space. Now, that takes me onto&nbsp; my next question, which is who's the lady in red?&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:51] Well, I think this is clearly Clark's ex-wife&nbsp; due to a couple of little clues. In the film,&nbsp;&nbsp; we see a photo of her at one point, and she's got&nbsp; long red hair just like the entity. When doing the&nbsp;&nbsp; roleplay with Mary, Clark also cuts her scalp&nbsp; off so that Mary can play the part of his wife.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:05] The scene takes place in a recreation of his home,&nbsp; which he's filled with a makeshift family. Lastly,&nbsp;&nbsp; upon Pyra Clark entering, the entity immediately&nbsp; tries to run out the room. Though, she gets stuck&nbsp;&nbsp; in a corner. It's a lot like how Clark's wife up&nbsp; and left him in the real world. Now, we're going&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:19] to get into the rest of the questions in just a&nbsp; bit after a quick word from our sponsors. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp; they say what you don't know can't harm you. Let&nbsp; me tell you though, that is a lot of rubbish. And&nbsp;&nbsp; right now, thousands of companies are collecting,&nbsp; aggregating, and trading your personal data&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:33] without you knowing anything about it. You ever&nbsp; wonder how a spam caller or email got your info?&nbsp;&nbsp; Then it's because of these guys. They're working&nbsp; away, blowing your phone up, and you can often hit&nbsp;&nbsp; a point where it's happening multiple times a day.&nbsp; They're just interrupting your life with things&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:47] you don't want to need. As technology improves as&nbsp; well and you sign up to more things, your data is&nbsp;&nbsp; going to get passed around. AI is now involved&nbsp; too, and I'm sure you've had those robotic phone&nbsp;&nbsp; calls where they ask you if you've been in an&nbsp; accident or something. It's time to stop it. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:01] about you to protect your privacy. You have to&nbsp; do it manually. And every time you take one down,&nbsp;&nbsp; there's probably at least two more companies&nbsp; that now have your data. However, there is a&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:14] solution with our sponsors, Incogn. If you use the&nbsp; code heavy spoilers at incogn.com/heavyspoilers,&nbsp;&nbsp; you'll get an exclusive 60% off. Incogn does the&nbsp; messy work for you automatically and they help to&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:27] protect your privacy and take your personal data&nbsp; off the market. They reach out to data brokers&nbsp;&nbsp; on your behalf and request your personal datas&nbsp; removed while dealing with their objections.&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been with them for about 4 months now and&nbsp; in that time I've not had one spam phone call at&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:40] all. I used to get at least one every single day.&nbsp; They've just helped me out massively. It means I'm&nbsp;&nbsp; not constantly checking my phone. And yeah, thank&nbsp; you Incogn for all your hard work. You can also&nbsp;&nbsp; get an extra level of protection that comes with&nbsp; Incogn's custom removal feature in the unlimited&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:54] plan and family unlimited plan. There you can&nbsp; point to any search site or other website where&nbsp;&nbsp; your personal information is visible and one of&nbsp; their privacy agents will take care of the rest&nbsp;&nbsp; for you. Criminals can also use your data for&nbsp; fraud and more. And yeah, it it's better just&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:07] having that peace of mind, especially with all the&nbsp; news reports you'll see about data breaches. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; get your data off the market and just go to&nbsp; incogn.com/heavyspoilers and use the code heavy&nbsp;&nbsp; spoilers for 60% off. Incogn helps to wipe you off&nbsp; the internet and they can't harm you if they can't&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:23] find you. Just click that link below to claim&nbsp; that 60% off and get your personal data off the&nbsp;&nbsp; market right now with Incogn. Thank you. Now, we&nbsp; do know that a sequel is currently in development&nbsp;&nbsp; and I think it'll probably explore a lot more of&nbsp; the other entities. Again, some of these aren't&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:37] in Kane's cannon, so if they don't show up, throw&nbsp; stones at me or some [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Call me a well-dressed&nbsp;&nbsp; wanker. But there's ones called life forms. What&nbsp; do you mean I'm dressed like [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] But yeah,&nbsp;&nbsp; tall, spinly creatures that mimic human voices to&nbsp; attract people to go and investigate them. They&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:55] seem to be covered in cables and are likely built&nbsp; off the idea of electronics. There's also smiles,&nbsp;&nbsp; which are shadowy figures with large eyes&nbsp; and massive grins. From what I can gather,&nbsp;&nbsp; they only attack you if you look at them. So, I&nbsp; think they could do something really cool with&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:08] them in the sequel if they end up going that&nbsp; route. It's also the hounds as well, h which&nbsp;&nbsp; are like dogs, hound dogs. You get that one. H.&nbsp; And this does open up whether animals can also&nbsp;&nbsp; be copied too. The film of course has a seagull&nbsp; that's flying around as well. Um, so I don't know,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:22] maybe a seagull got chased by a dog or something&nbsp; and it manifested it as that. Yeah, this also&nbsp;&nbsp; shows that animals have access to the back rooms&nbsp; too. There's actually a newspaper article in the&nbsp;&nbsp; film that talks about garbage being dumped in&nbsp; the harbor, which has attracted the seagulls. So,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:35] it's possible that around this harbor, there's&nbsp; also an entrance to the door, which we figured&nbsp;&nbsp; it out. We're doing God's work here. There's&nbsp; also the skin stealer as well, which skins their&nbsp;&nbsp; victims and wears their skin in order to try and&nbsp; create an identity for themselves. It's hundreds&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:49] and hundreds of different kinds of them, though,&nbsp; that are all listed on the wiki. Um, and yeah,&nbsp;&nbsp; like I said, we might might see them in a sequel.&nbsp; Might not. Now, there's also the theory that they&nbsp;&nbsp; might even be extraterrestrial in nature.&nbsp; Yes, I have been watching the X Files a lot,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:02] mate. Breakdowns on the channel now. The reason&nbsp; that this is though is because we see the caveman&nbsp;&nbsp; cutout, which has the Voyager disc that was shut&nbsp; out into space. In case you don't know, this&nbsp;&nbsp; basically contains a message for extraterrestrial&nbsp; life, saying, "Hey, mate, come to Earth. We're&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:15] cool mate. We're not constantly starting wars&nbsp; and stuff. We're great here. We we always hit&nbsp;&nbsp; the thumbs up." But this being in the back rooms&nbsp; could highlight that aliens did come into contact&nbsp;&nbsp; with it and have been observing Earth and trying&nbsp; to learn more about us. In the movie though,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:28] I think the Caveman cutouts used as a way to lure&nbsp; entities and this is so they can be studied by the&nbsp;&nbsp; cameras. This is carried out by the company Async&nbsp; who are a mysterious organization observing the&nbsp;&nbsp; backrooms. As we learn, Async are trying to get&nbsp; in sync with the back rooms and learn what the&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:43] shifted reality is so they can get in a sync&nbsp; with it. And it's a good name. I'll give them&nbsp;&nbsp; that. As Mary discovers though, they start off by&nbsp; manufacturing MRI machines, which kind of plays&nbsp;&nbsp; into the themes of the movie. Our editor John&nbsp; pointed out that MRI machines copy and photograph&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:58] images and layers of someone in order to create&nbsp; an image of them that can be studied. However,&nbsp;&nbsp; these photographs obviously just provide certain&nbsp; knowledge without giving us a wider picture of the&nbsp;&nbsp; person. In the law, Async apparently discovered&nbsp; the back rooms around 1988 when they were working&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:12] on a magnetic distortion system known as project&nbsp; KV31. This allowed them to open doorways in the&nbsp;&nbsp; back rooms. This has also been linked to the real&nbsp; life earthquake that happened in Santa Cruz. And&nbsp;&nbsp; it saw that this occurred when they tapped in the&nbsp; other realm. 1988 is also the year I was born. I&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:28] was born on the 8th of the 8th, 1988. So, my birth&nbsp; might have ushered this in. And now I'm cashing in&nbsp;&nbsp; with YouTube videos. Although they initially&nbsp; seem like they're trying to solve things like&nbsp;&nbsp; overpopulation and the housing crisis, actually&nbsp; not as nice as they seem. Turns out they're just&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:43] after exploiting the space all in the aims&nbsp; of corporate greed. Yay. Which I suppose you&nbsp;&nbsp; could even argue might be why they made the MRI&nbsp; machines. Yes, sure. H they might have been doing&nbsp;&nbsp; it to help people, but they're doing it for money&nbsp; money as well. But John pointed out that there's&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:57] definitely like an anti-corporate/ capitalism&nbsp; theme going on in addition to the trauma memory&nbsp;&nbsp; stuff. Most of the back rooms are modeled&nbsp; after empty office space. And in the series,&nbsp;&nbsp; async pitches to sell housing and storage space.&nbsp; Clark's main issue also stems from needing money,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:11] and it's clear that this is what destroyed his&nbsp; marriage. He's also a business owner who puts his&nbsp;&nbsp; employees at risk to explore the back rooms. And&nbsp; Pirate Clark is a warped version of a corporate&nbsp;&nbsp; mascot who ends up consuming his staff along with&nbsp; Clark. Even when he's asked if he's alone as well,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:26] he says he's not because he has his employees and&nbsp; but they don't really seem to like you, Clark.&nbsp;&nbsp; Clearly, his world is a shell of what it should be&nbsp; though, which very much represents the back rooms.&nbsp;&nbsp; Even him entering and seeing a big sign that says&nbsp; pot. Well, well, stop. Uh, but yeah, that doesn't&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:40] trigger any alarm bells. Although you might think&nbsp; Pirate Clark is there because of Clark, I actually&nbsp;&nbsp; think he could be there for another reason. The&nbsp; entity appears throughout the movie, even before&nbsp;&nbsp; Clark has entered the back rooms, and he's the one&nbsp; who kills the async researcher at the beginning.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:53] This takes place on June 19th, though, but Clark&nbsp; doesn't enter until the 29th. So, how can this be?&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, I'll tell you. I actually think the pyro&nbsp; clock is there because of Duplass. He of course&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:05] entered the back rooms before and is someone whose&nbsp; mind's likely filling the void. Personally, I&nbsp;&nbsp; think he saw Clark's advert on TV before observing&nbsp; him in there and it's something that didn't really&nbsp;&nbsp; register. I think it was only upon seeing Clark&nbsp; on the camera and then seeing the commercial that&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:24] and guy with a beard, they may have even been&nbsp; customers of Clark or something. He clearly&nbsp;&nbsp; doesn't remember them, though, and his mind's&nbsp; just filling in the back rooms from faces that&nbsp;&nbsp; he's seen. However, it's also possible that him&nbsp; living in the store is something that's filling&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:36] it before he even enters. Time clearly works&nbsp; differently as well. And when we see the mural,&nbsp;&nbsp; you might also notice the figure being fed to&nbsp; Pirate Clark has something in their hand. This&nbsp;&nbsp; looks a lot like the clothes stand that Mary beats&nbsp; it with later on. So potentially there's just lots&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:51] of tiny wimy wibbly wobbly stuff. Pirate clock,&nbsp; the ship wheel, the no credit sign, and beach&nbsp;&nbsp; image. They're all there from the start. So time&nbsp; might just work differently. Time might not even&nbsp;&nbsp; exist there. And when Clark shows up crazy at&nbsp; Mary's, he might have been down there a couple&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:06] of weeks. I mean, he's got to the point that he's&nbsp; eating the entities. So yeah, probably has tried a&nbsp;&nbsp; lot of [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] But these images and things within&nbsp; it constantly appear throughout. And the beach&nbsp;&nbsp; image also appears at the end when Ace and Capture&nbsp; Mary. It's stretched down, distorted though,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:20] much like the images seen in the episode of the&nbsp; series informational video. Now, when we get a&nbsp;&nbsp; shot of her and her mother at the start, we do see&nbsp; the sky behind them looks like this as well. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; it's possible that Mary was filling it in two.&nbsp; However, it's also possible that Mary's mother&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:33] had entered the back rooms as well, and this is&nbsp; what sent her insane. In the film, Norah suffers&nbsp;&nbsp; from paranoid schizophrenia, and she believed that&nbsp; outsiders were coming to get her. Thus, she kept&nbsp;&nbsp; her and Mary locked up for years with the doors&nbsp; blocked with furniture akin to how it's piled on&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:46] top of each other in the back rooms. Norah was&nbsp; eventually committed and the house was knocked&nbsp;&nbsp; down by what could be perceived as outsiders.&nbsp; Mary kept a cement handprint from the pair's drive&nbsp;&nbsp; though which links in the idea of an impression of&nbsp; the past. Because of this, people have theory time&nbsp;&nbsp;
[14:01] that Norah no clipped and was taken in the back&nbsp; rooms which is a place that broke her mind. This&nbsp;&nbsp; is why she's so scared of people or maybe things&nbsp; that look like people and stays locked in safe&nbsp;&nbsp; from the world. Even the fact that the sky looked&nbsp; fake at the start as well. To me, that did make me&nbsp;&nbsp;
[14:16] think this might have been the case. The way we&nbsp; see the crane drop something on her and a young&nbsp;&nbsp; Mary could also highlight how they're being buried&nbsp; in the back rooms. Or it may be a reach. How&nbsp;&nbsp; about there was a character called Peter from the&nbsp; expanded lore who was driven insane by wandering&nbsp;&nbsp;
[14:30] the back rooms. He was eventually found by a sink&nbsp; and kept in observation away from human contact.&nbsp;&nbsp; This sent him even more insane and they refused to&nbsp; let him out into the real world. However, he ended&nbsp;&nbsp; up escaping. Uh but he did get institutionalized&nbsp; because he'd completely lost his sanity much like&nbsp;&nbsp;
[14:45] Norah. So yeah, Norah might have been there h&nbsp; but people have definitely been there before&nbsp;&nbsp; including Ivan Beck who's the leader of async in&nbsp; the expander law. He had previous knowledge of&nbsp;&nbsp; the back rooms and used this to explore the space.&nbsp; There's also the fact that the back rooms have an&nbsp;&nbsp;
[14:58] effect on the real world. As we see there's wonky&nbsp; switches on the circuit breaker and the fact the&nbsp;&nbsp; lights keep going out shows that something is&nbsp; affecting reality. I think that just as much as&nbsp;&nbsp; the people affect the back rooms. The back rooms&nbsp; also end up affecting them. For example, the world&nbsp;&nbsp;
[15:13] of the store has some subliminal things in it&nbsp; that hint to this greater world. On the outside,&nbsp;&nbsp; someone's spray painted ripoff, which clearly is&nbsp; talking about the prices at the store. However,&nbsp;&nbsp; it could also be a nod of how the back rooms&nbsp; themselves are a ripoff of the real world,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[15:26] aka a fake version. There's also a sign in the&nbsp; basement that says more downstairs. Beyond that,&nbsp;&nbsp; we have Duplass watching Neverending Story,&nbsp; which feels like the neverending nature of&nbsp;&nbsp; the back rooms. Throughout the film, you also&nbsp; hear the idea of constant loops and how neural&nbsp;&nbsp;
[15:40] pathways keep us locked within them. This is&nbsp; highlighted by the end in which Mary can only&nbsp;&nbsp; see the outside world through a window like when&nbsp; she was younger. I think it's poetic, especially&nbsp;&nbsp; since the mural she found of Pirate Clark showed a&nbsp; window at the top. She then smiles at the irony of&nbsp;&nbsp;
[15:54] her being unable to escape her loop and we sees&nbsp; the back rooms are now filled with more trauma.&nbsp;&nbsp; We close out with a version of her being created&nbsp; just like Pirate Clark which highlights an aspect&nbsp;&nbsp; of her will now one of the back rooms. She is&nbsp; now infecting it as well, which we saw during&nbsp;&nbsp;
[16:08] the chase scene. When the pirate was going after&nbsp; her, she emerged in a suburban neighborhood akin&nbsp;&nbsp; to the one that she lived in as a child. She&nbsp; also appeared in front of that damn skyscraper/&nbsp;&nbsp; apartment block sign. And this also was something&nbsp; that she ended up coming across. So, there's this&nbsp;&nbsp;
[16:22] constant infection and one person's life bleeding&nbsp; into others. There's also Clark who's killed while&nbsp;&nbsp; his pirate versions captured and dissected. Clark&nbsp; is a a very unreliable narrator and is probably&nbsp;&nbsp;
[16:34] um downplaying the abuse towards his wife. I mean,&nbsp; the guy was pretty chill about having cats head&nbsp;&nbsp; in the freezer, but he wanted kids though. Um&nbsp; and we did see that he had a weird parent child&nbsp;&nbsp; relationship with Pirate Clark. A pirate child&nbsp; relationship. But yeah, Clark wants to be a&nbsp;&nbsp;
[16:49] parent, but gets picked up like a baby and then&nbsp; eaten by the darker version of himself. Pirate&nbsp;&nbsp; Clark is Clark's anger and shame personified and&nbsp; he eats him because he's copying Clark eating the&nbsp;&nbsp; still life guy at the dinner table. The creature&nbsp; also arrives when Clark accepts that he refuses to&nbsp;&nbsp;
[17:04] change and it consumes him because he's now stuck&nbsp; in the same loop as the entities. An architect&nbsp;&nbsp; should have a complete ball with the back rooms,&nbsp; but he's unable to really create and is simply&nbsp;&nbsp; stuck in this mundane loop. He's surrounded by&nbsp; his failure and stuck with the mediocrity he&nbsp;&nbsp;
[17:17] resigned himself to instead of chasing his dreams.&nbsp; This turned him bitter and full of anger and rage&nbsp;&nbsp; while he supported his wife's dream instead of his&nbsp; own. Rather than doing this because he loved her&nbsp;&nbsp; though and wanted to, he became an alcoholic and&nbsp; ended up pushing her away. I've also seen theories&nbsp;&nbsp;
[17:33] um that the clock we see at the end is actually&nbsp; an entity clock and the real Clark is dead. This&nbsp;&nbsp; is because he lurks around corners and the scar&nbsp; from his foreheads apparently missing. Now, I did&nbsp;&nbsp; go back and watch the movie with this in mind,&nbsp; but yes, the scar is definitely still there. So,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[17:48] theory time debunked, but I think the movie is&nbsp; all about how what we do and inflict on others&nbsp;&nbsp; echoes throughout history. And it's a movie I&nbsp; haven't stopped thinking about. Hope this video's&nbsp;&nbsp; also helped you with some unanswered questions.&nbsp; And if you have more, please drop them below in&nbsp;&nbsp;
[18:01] the comments. And someone smarter than me will&nbsp; hopefully answer and do my job for me. Also,&nbsp;&nbsp; I know a lot of you had questions about why I&nbsp; hadn't covered this or obsession and were like,&nbsp;&nbsp; "Why the hell does heavy spoilers only do old&nbsp; movies anymore?" Well, yes, sort of. Burn his&nbsp;&nbsp;
[18:16] whole channel down. I wish you [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] would, mate.&nbsp; But the truth is, I've actually been on holiday&nbsp;&nbsp; and though I wanted to be like, "Ah, mate, I'm&nbsp; on holiday. I can't do them at the moment." Uh,&nbsp;&nbsp; if you've ever spoke to someone in insurance&nbsp; who's got your home insurance, I'll say, "If&nbsp;&nbsp;
[18:28] you go abroad, do not post that you're away." And&nbsp; I've got millions of followers, and I don't think&nbsp;&nbsp; if we got robbed, I'd have much of a claim after&nbsp; telling millions of people I wasn't in the house&nbsp;&nbsp; for a week. If you know YouTubers as well, mate,&nbsp; h then you'll know that when you go away, you kind&nbsp;&nbsp;
[18:43] of need to do two weeks h worth of work in one&nbsp; week. So, we have stuff constantly going out. As&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm sure you can see, I'm a big James Bond fan.&nbsp; I haven't had time to take the stuff down. Um,&nbsp;&nbsp; and I did want to cover First Light. Uh, which,&nbsp; yeah, was something I've been looking forward&nbsp;&nbsp;
[18:57] to for quite a while. If you watch that video as&nbsp; well, then you know we went to places like uh the&nbsp;&nbsp; Aston Workshop to shoot with a DB5 and stuff. And&nbsp; I of course also had to play the game. And I have&nbsp;&nbsp; to say, mate, nothing makes me respect gamers more&nbsp; than realizing they have to go through a 20our&nbsp;&nbsp;
[19:11] thing while I get to watch a 2-hour movie. Anyway,&nbsp; that took all the time up. Obviously, you know,&nbsp;&nbsp; um we knew last year as well what the movie&nbsp; slate was for this week uh when we booked the&nbsp;&nbsp; trip and I picked this week cuz I had no idea what&nbsp; Obsession and Back Rooms would and no idea they'd&nbsp;&nbsp;
[19:26] be such big things and hey, neither did Lucas film&nbsp; apparently. So, yeah, we will be doing an in-depth&nbsp;&nbsp; video on Obsession when it releases digitally&nbsp; and doing a more in-depth video on this one&nbsp;&nbsp; when it comes out digitally as well.
