A pessimist overview of the nature of human existence in the movie "Westworld": a misanthropological afterthought
Abstract
The cultural communication attempted by this film in the context of science fiction as part of popular culture is analyzed. The message of the film pertains to the inexistence of a solution to the instability of the relationship between the normative order and human behaviour - which is the description of human social existence in the film, and is interpreted as a pessimist view of this existence. The message is arrived at through a string of binary oppositions.
