THE EMPTY MAN (2020) Explained

How are you doing guys, welcome to the font movies for today's explainer video. We get quite the surprise: The Empty Man follows an ex-cop on the trail of a missing girl and encounters a secret group trying to summon a terrifying supernatural entity, you know. I must say I was quite surprised. I remember seeing the trailer before it briefly came out in theaters last year and being like, "Oh, it looks pretty good I guess, but then it got pretty bad reviews overall and that, along with a hefty 2 hours and running time." 15 minutes made me hesitate to watch it.

I was like two hours or more, what the hell, man, isn't it just a ghost guy killing kids or whatever. It should be like 88 minutes, well, not exactly, this is long. more to do than I What Was Never Anticipated is much more complex and philosophical than it would seem on the surface, as others have pointed out, it almost feels like several films put together and that is perhaps its biggest disadvantage: trying to do too much and the pieces aren't It wasn't exactly put together perfectly, I mean the opening part itself was over 20 minutes, it could have been five and achieved the same thing, so yeah, it's too long and a bit all over the place, but at the same time I eventually found myself actually researching the address.

It was like that and if you're willing to go down the somewhat difficult path I think it's worth it in the end, as I mentioned it actually gets quite complicated and keeps adding more and more to its philosophical concepts so we'll be delving into all that and everything Everything else happens, so let's blow a bottle for the

empty

man, believe me, it makes sense to break down these stories into mini twists and turns, including who James really is and what the grander purpose of the mysterious organization is also. As an explanation of the devastating end of the world, our journey begins in 1995 on a snow-covered mountain in Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, a group of backpackers approach a religious site that includes prayer wheels and cannot avoid giving it a spin.

They arrive at a dangerous looking bridge, okay, the bearded man laughs and each of them cautiously crosses laughing and shouting the first day on screen, a caption informs us that they take a moment to appreciate the impressive view, Greg comments that There's a big storm brewing in the other, Paul. He thinks he hears something, a distant dull ringing, but no one else can hear it, he walks away towards a crack in the rocks, Greg and the others get a rope to rappel down into the cave, there is a large beam of light, Paul is sitting there, with silent eyes. glassy looking at something, a strange skeleton with four arms and large hands crossed in a prayer position, Greg approaches to look closer and notices more skulls at his feet, he approaches Paul, who whispers that if you touch me, you will die well, Now I want to play.

Even more, I'm not touching you, you know what I mean, someone has brothers who don't listen, he grabs his friend and asks her to come with him. Paul begins to moan softly and his shivers turn into tears, he had enough, he dragged him to his feet and carried him all the way. Back on the other side of the bridge over their shoulders, the wind is really picking up now, luckily they find a house and no one is there so they get comfortable and check their paw for bug bites or something to explain what is happening. going.

Fiona asked him to say something, pulling on an object. of her hand in the river looking for water, thunder rumbles, the storm blows straight in, they pass by Paul's body with no idea what's wrong with him and when they check his wrist they see some telltale scars from self-harm, but Ruthie says he's been fine lately, no signs. of injury or anything, Greg thinks if it's not his head then it must be in his head with no other alternative, the nearest road five miles away and the storm approaching, they hunker down for the night, Rudy plays with the object that blows and ends up realizing it. it's some kind of flute, later he wakes up hearing muffled squeaky footsteps approaching the door, stopping just outside, he checks the other room and it doesn't seem like anyone is moving.

On the second day, the storm continues howling outside. Fiona and Greg promise that. They'll be right back, so Ruthie gets busy with some clothes, buying someone through the window, she frantically runs to the door asking if they can help her, the figure stands there, her clothes fluttering in the wind and then they start rustling towards her, ruthie getting more and more scared. They get up and run, she runs in and closes the door, they slam the door on the other side, Ruthie grabs a knife and yells for him to leave, but then we hear it's Greg asking to open the door, she's confused and asks if They saw someone else outside.

There, of course, they didn't tell her to calm down, but she doesn't want to calm down. She wants to get out of here later. She wakes her up when Paul whispers and sings in her ear and when she wakes up in the morning. On the third day she disappeared and she found some footprints in the snow. They followed them into frozen oblivion and found Paul on the edge of the bridge playing his little flute. Greg is frustrated and yells. This is all his fault and he's been dealing with his selfishness. Bs for years says something man he starts singing and Fiona pulls out a knife and stabs him, he repeatedly falls off the side of the cliff, then he goes for Fiona, slits her throat and throws her too, he turns to Paul and they look at each other. the eyes. reality seems distorted for a moment and he cries.

Fiona slowly backs away from the brink of death and returns to her flute. Things appear distorted once again from here we jump 23 years later to Missouri in 2018. James, a retired police officer, goes for a job and then takes a well-deserved smoke break, yes, that's good for the lungs, which balance. I guess we hear a disembodied voice shouting where were you after seeing some of his work working in a security shop, he goes out to have a nice solitary time. dinner is about to pay the bill, you have a birthday coupon and of course they have to give you the embarrassing Mexican restaurant treatment along with a flan and a candle to blow out, you head home and see someone sitting outside next to to a pretty dirty pool, you have to get your chemicals. under control, James, hell, it's his neighbor Amanda's daughter who comes to check on him because she's worried, it's been a year that her father died and it was shortly after that that Alison and Henry stuttered, I mean obviously they were somehow accidentally killed and James.

She is still struggling to cope. Amanda relates to her own father and she feels like she's going to burst into a million pieces, but she's found something wonderful and liberating that has really helped her realize that nothing can hurt you because nothing is real. Oh, here we go. Our first taste of the film's many philosophical considerations is tied to selopsis, the idea that only one's mind is certain to exist in the external world and other minds cannot be truly known and therefore it is possible that They don't actually exist outside of your mind, you're probably already going, but yeah, it's a whole deal, we'll get to that, don't worry, James doesn't think he's this brusque, a lot of things are real, right?

But how can you know it? He smiles, he learned the hard way and she moves on with what's real. in your mind, so by extension here, what we think over and over again with focus, intention and repetition, we essentially manifest by using the power of the mind to believe in something so much that you actually bring it into existence and then After all, existence is not real. Anyway, right, no big deal, it's not over yet, surprisingly considering that our thoughts actually start somewhere else and travel through us like a signal traveling through a wire. Old, hidden and singular thoughts again, hang with me, friends, all this will come to do much more.

She feels on the line, he scoffs that he has no idea what she's saying about her laughing, of course he does. Her cell phone vibrates and she has to excuse herself from the seemingly random philosophical discussion. Later at home, she walks past walls of family photos listening to Allison, presumably his wife. voice asking again where you were, it also includes a photo of young Henry, there are flashes of everyone smiling and having a nice picnic in the park, then everyone screams, he wakes up from the nightmare and when he closes his eyes he can still hear his voice taking a dose from some recipe. medication on the morning of the first day uh-oh here we go again Nora is alarmed to discover that Amanda has disappeared and asks James for help.

He looks around her room, including a strange all-black poster with a small symbol in the corner and in the bathroom. finds a terrifying message written in blood the

empty

man made me do it the police later show up and one cop actually recognizes james from his time working undercover in st. louis, however based on what they see the other cop thinks that she's just acting. 18 with a lost suitcase and everything, but Nora insists that that didn't happen and says that she knows her daughter or she realizes that they are not going to do anything, probably not, she complains, it seems that it is up to James solve this mystery.

Through a girls diary filled with strange writings and drawings, she finds a pamphlet of something called a tulpa from the pontifex institute written on the back, this is a concept of a being or object that is created through spiritual or mental powers. in the same alley as what Amanda was arguing with him by the pool he asked nora to make a list of her friends and ghost looking for answers waits outside the school reunion davara asks her where she is she doesn't know but she is willing to talk more after he gives her a cigarette, she says that Amanda was not crying in class, but rather screaming briefly upon seeing the robed figure near the loose empty man, she asked about the empty man who He heard, he missed it like a stupid child thing, but with concern he looks towards the place where he is. gone, she divulges that it's a story going around, there are some basic rules to summoning him, go out on a bridge at night and blow into an empty bottle while thinking about him and something would happen, he asked her if she tried it, she nodded timidly ago two nights. and Amanda with a group of other goofy friends are hanging out on a bridge.

She is the one who finds an empty bottle, suggesting that everyone tried it the first night they hear it and can't stop thinking about it the second night they see it following him. and the third night she finds them all moaning oh how old are they? That's just a little story for children, but anyway they have to try it by passing the bottle and everyone who blows it davara hesitates thinking that all this is stupid but he succumbs and does it too ah peer pressure you want to be great you better blow in this bottle or Amanda goes alone blowing on the bottle and closes her eyes repeating the empty man the empty man and the wind suddenly picks up a tear runs down her cheek just as we saw with Paul and they make their presence known by listening to something out there in the dark and then muffled footsteps, they quicken their pace running towards them and they all run away terrified and it sounds like they are We will suffer similar fates to our backpackers from '95.

He asked about the last time he saw Amanda. She was in the mall whispering in Brandon's ear just like we saw Paul in the mountains. She looks worried and stares again as she sees the entire gang sitting next to her. at each other and they all look at her creepily in unison, yeah, you guys are weird, he gets Brandon's address from her and she leaves, looking at her friends and quickening her pace, her parents aren't much help, she barely They let themselves introduce themselves before slamming the door. The next door in her face is Lisa and the whole house seems empty as she sees the same strange black poster on Amanda's wall.

She also sees an advertisement for the Pontifex Institute on her desk and inside she finds a dead dog with buckets of blood in front of it. presumably what he used to write the message on the mirror he pays a visit to the bridge where they were called and coincidentally finds a bottle at his feet and decides to blow on it sure why it doesn't sound like an explosion he throws it over the side, the wind immediately whispers and the sounds of the bug forest cut to complete silence and then hearing a distant clang he realizes that the manhole cover is still open and jumps down finding most of the gang hanging dead along with a note scribbled on the bridge, the empty man.

She made me do it, the only one missing, since Devara goes to a spa alone, she is just trying to relax. She goes into a sauna. The room instantly fills with steam, darkening everything. Her Em appears, grabs her and brings a pair of scissors to her face, stabbing repeatedly and brutally, but. We see that it is actually her doing it to herself, collapsing weakly into the blood pooling next to her, her footsteps entering her reflection as she squawks and gags, eyes fluttering at her clothes. It's also worth noting that all the deaths so far could be considered suicides, not really. kills, so maybe the empty man issomething completely different.

James contacts the police and learns that she died, but there are no suspects as they all appear to be suicides. He has a growing concern about what is happening in his small town. These murders are poisoning the atmosphere is like sewage with the water supply, calling it transmissible and actually changing people, showing again how the spread of an idea and what people believe actually gives it more power. He concludes that there is no real way to solve crimes like this as one can. He accuses the cosmos and James watches as a group of townspeople gather with candles and flowers in a gazebo and then returns home snorting blood and is assigned to investigate the mysterious Pontiff Institute.

A simple Google search reveals that it is some kind of apocalyptic club. article mentioned in 1991 six members died during an occult experiment gone wrong while trying to create a tulpa again the idea of ​​a thought form made flesh illustrating this in a simple equation thought plus concentration plus time equals flesh, that's my kind of math nora surprises him with some chinese food and suddenly he collapses unable to deal with her worry she says she's sorry but not because she's upset but because it's been so long hmm strongly hinting that they had some kind of previous relationship he hugs her assuring her she everything will be fine and stroking her hair she asked him if he could stay the night, it seems like they are about to kiss and things get awkward limits, she smiles, James offers her a drink and of course I want an idiot is about to leave, she grabs her. his hand tells him it was good to see him and then he stumbles down the hallway past his family photos, back to the flashbacks of his son and his wife and everything, then the police sirens remembering the first night we heard him and saw him in an instant. hey, there's a sleepyhead, a woman whispers and wakes up in an agitated state, she hears the floorboards creaking and sees nothing out there, but the sounds continue, she closes the door and looks for a bat, the steps reach the door and He sees a shadow below, he looks out below. and I really can't make out anything just the shadow moving away open the door tiptoeing through the wide open front door the empty man is coming for you jamesy starts the second day making a visit to the school seeing that the place is full of people people in the waiting room and based on flipping through some brochures it definitely seems like some kind of cuckoo cult, the fact that the employee strangely offers what he has to give is as old as the time you were given a questionnaire that shows you that this is even crazier than he anticipated with questions like whether the brain itches or whether the scientific method is a tool of oppression.

He asks about this nonsense and she starts babbling about something, but he intervenes. Oh, I know all about the cuckoo cult. Okay, I grew up in San Francisco, but this. It's a whole different level of nonsense, her interrogation is interrupted when a bunch of people come for a presentation, man this place is hectic, she whispers that he's looking for something and invites him to come to find the answers you're looking for, Presumably the leader Arthur addresses the room with a talk similar to the one we heard from Amanda, which essentially amounts to nihilism. He knows they are searching for something lost, but argues that there is nothing they have lost, but in fact, there is no such thing as loss, which awakens each of us.

Everyday life is a fight for more but the question should be the opposite: how much less can you use? There is no struggle because there are no distinctions to say you are right and I am wrong divides us but feels that it is simply a construction to foster illusion and difference there is no disunity just a great binding nothingness of things again all of this is basically nihilism it is of what he is talking about once they were all one and soon they will be again his message comes directly from the empty man he invites you to discover the true face of the world everyone bursts into applause while some members stomp their feet in unison james goes to chat with arthur wondering if I was going to mention that name the empty man arthur cryptically says he called you james all uh or not weird he asked for more details and reveals that em is a meditation focal point for the specific manifestation of hidden energies.

The same concept of the formula, just as man feeds on the biosphere and the atmosphere, our thoughts feed and are fed by the so-called new sphere, the sum of all conscious thought again as something real philosophical, they did not invent it Everything is fine, transmissions from the sphere of unified consciousness can be stimulated with certain vectors, he describes it as a veil between form and flesh, pats him on the shoulder and declares. that everyone was blind in their own way distractions steal our focus technology steals our memory and repetition steals our understanding he brings up the old child's game where you said your name so many times it becomes gibberish believe that this is also true in some way for consciousness and lines of thought, for example the famous niji quote, if you stare into the abyss it stares back at you, it feels like it has been used so much that it has lost its meaning and now it's just a harmless cliché, asked when the last time you really thought about it was what is the abyss that calls it to you and for the same reason then you must be calling it now when you think about it?

It's anything but harmless, in a sense we're bringing the abyss upon ourselves and he finds it's worth considering which is truer: your name or the gibberish, that's the empty man, it all depends on how you think about it, he tells her. to James who is glad to be back, groans because he's never been here before and looks back at him commenting. oh no, there must just be something about you and then over a cup of coffee he runs into another kid with a hairdo, Garrett asks him about Amanda, shrugging that he hasn't seen her and doesn't believe her.

He fumes like a liar as he walks away. James is capable. to travel deeper into the bowels of the building with surprising ease, descending into an area covered with plastic sheeting, there is a woman speaking with a similar opportunity over a loudspeaker, nothing exists, even if something exists, nothing can be known about it and continues in a kind of loop. Seeing a group of new recruits with shaved heads sitting and looking at one of those black posters we saw in each of the girls' rooms and clicking their tongues, you find yourself in an absolutely huge records room, focusing on a square marked as manifestation 14.

He goes even deeper into subtunnels that seem to last forever and to what seems to be the next level for the members of the institute. Here the group is singing our thoughts come from dreams, come the power of the bridge. comes man of man comes thoughts start to go back to the beginning look at everything it's like you don't really know what something is if you start questioning it and that's the idea when he takes a careful step he accidentally makes a sound the woman stops a clock asking if someone is here to make themselves known, there is another thud coming from another part of the room and she welcomes them to show themselves as everyone in the group blows on bottles in unison hearing a strange scraping sound. suits waiting to throw him back hair is in the alley taunting him that he will never get anywhere by being so blunt and finally divulges that he has actually seen Amanda but not here, they have big plans for her, he claims ominously that they have transferred her to a camp called somewhere else where students go to reach their first singularity threshold comes to them in their dreams, he whispers, whose dreams James asks bewildered, yeah, they don't know, but they know, that's all that matters, you just have believe according to The pontiff is not just a group of nutcases, an outcast promoting his 500-year plan, warning that he has no idea how dangerous they are.

James, always determined in his case, asks how to get to the camp and wouldn't you think that's right? bridge naturally, it's also worth noting that pontifex actually means bridge builder, you come to a fork in the road heading to an unpaved one, a sign saying camp elsewhere, strangely not much activity on the grounds from a cabin, only a bunch of bottles left in the pile, room full of bunk beds, man this thing is a lot bigger than I thought, there is a large scale recruitment here and everything that reaches a couple of televisions , video recorders and a stack of tapes, a marked demonstration 13 and puts it there. a cheesy little intro graphic for pontifex, their motto, we pass on to you, you get their static in images of a group doing the power chant from the dream from earlier, they suddenly stop a herd breathing heavily, they move around and see what looks like a leg briefly, everyone gets scared, it fails again. a guy on the stairs muttering and croaking they see he's bleeding and doing something weird with the wound whatever it is it looks like it hurts he puts his hand in a bowl of blood drawing a figure on the wall and James looks and sees it's still there , this all happened in this cabin previously and it seems like it must not have been used as there is a quick hiss.

The guy staring into the camera with piercing, glowing eyes on the tape ends, what the hell was that? He turns around and sees some kind of light. Across the pond, crossing a bridge, he comes to a large group in robes, all running around a bonfire, then they stop, James glides closer, the chanting continues and the flames grow much larger and they begin to sing faster , the column of flames reaches inward. a tunnel to the sky the stars are distorted seeming to blink closer he looks again and it is normal everyone resumes singing and looks back there is no fire and everyone looks at him menacingly the lights go out completely losing sight of the group the herd begins to They move slowly and they crawl together, James watches in disbelief, he takes a step back and they all move towards each other, they do the same, yes, no, he complains and starts running at full speed.

Lightning flashes as the others chase to cross back. He crosses the bridge and reaches his car. Everyone throws bottles from all directions as he struggles to turn it over. After a few more turns, he comes to life with a roar and slams it into reverse. Everyone keeps chasing him and he gets back on the road. As confused as everyone else watching at this point is shouting what it was, in fact James and boy, it seems like what we saw with the chanting and everything is some sort of example of their groupthink in action, they were able to manipulate reality in a way again.

They are trying to build a bridge between all these different universes, spheres and biospheres and all that stuff that we see, a little sample of those old flames so big in the sky and zooming in on the stars at the station, they are not helpful, as always and possibly the invasion could have ruined the whole case by harshly reminding James that he is no longer a police officer ah well, well I'm sure he'll give up, no of course not, he only has one purpose: to find this girl in a paranoid state, he asks Nora. leaving her house for a few days telling her, he thinks Amanda joined some kind of cult to show how serious he is, he claims he thinks they were the ones who killed those kids and that's enough for her to go looking a hotel. room outside, she cries, she's dead, isn't she? him swearing that no he's not, we get a little more information about his supposed past relationship.

He asks if she knows now. It seems that he actually had an affair before his wife and his son died, still carrying that guilt. He'd bet, but she thinks maybe they've punished themselves enough. Her dreams that night align with what she suspected when she heard Allison again whisper where you were. There is someone there with wine and James appears in a suit while they play a record and placing his hand on his the second night you see him, a voice reminds him that the car is swerving on a snowy road and there is a scene of an empty chair bathed for a silver lining, now it actually looks like he was not only having an affair with nora but he was actually with her the day his family died, now that's tragic and he has a lot more guilt on his shoulders.

I'm sure he started slapping himself awake to get his bearings. His stupid brain stops being so crazy about lighting a cigarette. he sees something strange at the end of the hallway he gets up our friend comes quickly for him he goes for his bat and they are gone the second night you see it as we remember all these nightmares from the past no doubt caused by the empty man which illustrates the type of effect that takes over your mind about to take another pill, stops himself from putting it back on and rather puts the wedding ring back on apparently trying to deal with it finally seems like just as the third day begins or maybe it's just going completely over the top. out of the background finding him hanging out in front of the Pontifex building drinkinglike nine in the morning, so yeah, maybe it's not so good after all, he's following his hairstyle and some other kids are watching as they stop at various spots around town. and they pick up a child at each location, many people in this come to the St.

Louis hospital, a door closes behind them and yes, they are full, some children are even let out of the trunk, they enter through a back door and James. he's able to do parkour right before it closes, smooth moves, dude, even when you're drinking you still have good moves, he keeps following him and it sure looks like the kids know exactly where they're going, they walk into a room and run the curtains. around from a window watching a man hooked up to machines and everyone falls to their knees in prayer. James manages to jump on Garrett and tangles him up, sneaking away from him to interrogate him.

He asks about the guy in the bed. Garrett says it's like an antenna, they tune two frequencies through it, they transmit, they get that whole pontifex motto, they drag it somewhere else and explain the next level in depth of what the institute is trying to do. The fundamental idea is that all thought is communicable and similar to the atmosphere and the biosphere where we physically reside there is again the new sphere the universal sum of all consciousnesses not only human but all the old and even angry ones from time to time a species emerges of prophet among one they need the empty man as a bridge between these planes of existence and remember, as I said, pontifex literally means bridge builder, that is its purpose, the idea of ​​erasing all these limits, all unified in one kingdom, since always They talk about James trying to take all this on Garrett by egging him on.

You're already going down with him, isn't your brain itching? Hey? James is sick of him randomly mentioning that he's from San Francisco again and just wants to know where Amanda is. She is on the bridge. What bridge? There is no bridge. Garrett laughs, haven't you been listening? James, frustrated, sucks him a few times to no real effect and he continues to laugh as he speeds away. James, eternally unwavering in his search for answers, returns to the institute ready to hack his way back with a bolt cutter, but strangely discovers that the door opens easily, allowing him to access it and after some suspicion at this point when he was looking , I was like saying hmm, was he prepared in this whole operation here, which becomes much clearer when he returns to the records room retrieving that manifestation?

Box 14 inside is the man's file from the hospital which includes admission forms and how he was transferred there, but surprisingly he also has a file in there, it has his entire history written down in notes, 41 years old, a prescription for his medications, even the coupon for the birthday meal at the Mexican place, he is dumbfounded, he even finds personal photos of his wife and children, totally confused as to how they could have all this and then, the icing on the cake, a picture of that strange chair in the light that He's been watching, but he's sitting on it, oh no, wait, no I don't know what that means, but it's not good, I can promise you his mind is flooded with images of the accident and Garrett talking about the antenna and it stings in The way he decides to visit this supposed antenna, he gets a lot of information from the nurse that he's been here for at least a year and that it's strange.

For someone to be in the ICU that long, she knows that He was admitted to a hospital 23 years ago and was transferred a couple of times until he ended up here. She also finds it strange because she doesn't have an official name on file, but someone must be paying her bills and she sure gets a lot out of it. of visitors and there is one there right now we see that the visitor is amanda, in shock, james tells her that he has been looking for her, well, you found me, she casually answers him and asks him about the man, saying that he is like a carrier in both senses, like a disease and a signal modulated by an input signal the message is contagious sounds like they are again using this guy as an antenna all using their mental powers together and he amplifies his signal but also the spread of his message he's all damn I need to call your mom let him know you're okay, but, disconcertingly, she has no idea who he is and hangs up, leaving him confused, as always.

Amanda comments on the man's condition, that he is weakening and that there is only so long a body can withstand this kind of power and we assume that this is Paul, the guy who survived from the beginning and who must have been acting as an antenna for the group since 95. It definitely looks deteriorated, they will need to find a replacement soon and considering that 500 years passed between its last bearer. and paul, they don't have that kind of time to mess around, so they decided to try something different, an experiment, they decided to make a carrier, the EKG starts going crazy and james makes a face, amanda tells him to listen to his thoughts and how you can hear. him, the empty man that displaces it, you know, like an itch in the brain, imagine an overwhelming itch that takes over the base of your skull, that's him, he screams, it's not real, she plays along, he's Well, sure, in that case, why fight informing him that he should? disconnect from our reality and attach to another she reveals something quite shocking to james she actually created him and knows everything about his history asking him questions and they both answer at the same time but not his birthday because it turns out it was only three days before rewriting it from the time in the Mexican restaurant, the whole group focused on his biography to conjure him as you remember him from a long time ago, artulpa, our empty man, do not forget that time plus concentration plus thought are equal to meat, it is as if everything was going backwards. to that foreboding chair, they tried once before but failed, which must be what we've seen on tape at camp, learning that they can only transmit their signal through pain and guilt, but we're missing a key ingredient, the afraid, that's why they built his tragic story to define him, everything was designed to make him the perfect vessel or the new antenna for their purposes now, when they see the family in the park, everyone is blowing bottles and she wonders where you were when most They needed you. poor king nora but none of that was real anyway completely shocked she consoles him by telling him that nothing he does is under his control he is not his own man you are our man she considers isn't this a relief anyway Isn't this what you want? most want, so let him go, she gives him a hug listening to the people singing on the bridge and the thoughts coming from the dreams of that old chestnut in the bowels of the institute.

She came out grabbing his red folder and found him in the huge back room with everyone singing since when he. was here before she, like before, stops his watch asking if there is anyone there, he walks out sheepishly seeing himself from earlier on the catwalk, so yes, he has clearly been manipulated and manipulated all along, everything was built to bring him to This point and a great realization of his true purpose, everyone in the group, including Amanda, begins to blow on their bottles together, he blinks and looks back, now to another place completely, yes, to that old chair of his dreams, hey buddy, and then he's back in the cave in Bhutan with the weird skeleton he must be. the resting place of the empty man a bone breaks a slight spiritual essence seen moving the empty man comes out of the wall chasing him through the dirty hallways he stops and draws his gun the lights flash away from him he appears and still tries to shoot Not now has no effect, she's still trying to fight your destiny at this point, huh dude, well he has no choice and gives up.

She gets on top of him removing her mask, flanked by a bunch of tentacles into which she vomits black goo. his mouth followed by the entire physical being entering directly into him reality becomes trembling again and his eyes turn black the unification is complete James acts as the bridge with the empty man to all planes of consciousness, he stumbles again outside his brain again flooded with all of his planted memories, seeing in full detail what happened, which was pretty obvious at this point and ultimately also doesn't matter again because none of it was real basically the same night his wife and his son died. son, we know she was with nora, but it was also after her husband's funeral, so yeah, pretty bad and phil james with a lot of that sweet guilt and fear and all those things that the group needs, bursts into what i thought was his house, but in reality it is completely empty and things continue to learn. that it was because henry choked on a coin and his wife looked back that they crashed into the side of a bridge.

I'm sure that was on purpose considering what that means thematically. He reaches a door with a blinding light on the other side and returns to Paul's hospital bed, pulls his gun and shoots him. His first shot was in the so-called third eye. I'm sure that was on purpose too and even the blood splatter left on the wall looks exactly like the same one attracted by the previous demonstration that didn't fail this time, although he walks out of the room towards a group of onlookers who They take a look, it appears in the light shaft and the lights then go out hearing more whispers, they all fall on their shoulders.

We kneel and worship the words you convey, we get a buzz in our heads as reality begins to distort once again, so I feel like we have enough breadcrumbs to figure out what's going on, but just to reiterate, James was not born in the traditional sense but was born through the power of the group's thoughts. Similarly, the void man is also a sort of urban legend that took on a life of its own, although we also understand that the void man must be some type of ancient evil entity, as they mentioned the new one. The fear of the sphere or consciousness connects us to thoughts of all time, including evil ones, so they need James to act as a bridge between the biosphere, our typical reality, and that of consciousness, and then the put together, you have to have the void man and the antenna guy and that's the idea, that was his whole intention from the beginning and his ever unwavering purpose of finding mana turns out to be just one big wild goose chase, it was all built up to reveal to him who he is. really over the course of Those Three Days it's a little difficult to determine if what we saw was real or a completely constructed reality and I think that's the point here too since Nora he calls her and she doesn't know him so she's real in a way, but they didn't have an affair or whatever, you know what I mean and she's actually supposed to still be Amanda's mother, so maybe that explains her connection to the story, but then there's the police who recognize him and a bunch of other things like that point where At least in some way, these people and what we're seeing are real, but also not entirely trustworthy, if that makes sense.

Regardless, it seems like the group succeeded in their master plan, as to me it seems like those shakes are a representation of reality as we know it. it breaks every time, it seems appropriate since it is used again, the bridge that goes down between these worlds and in the end it seems that james worked as designed, we also come to understand how massive this movement is with a big church and a camp and all that which obviously reeks a bit of Scientology, so they did what Arthur said to bring things back together, but we're just destroying reality in the fair trade process, I guess that's the conclusion of this post.

for an empty man that ended up being a lot more complicated than I expected, like I said, I really thought it was like a cop investigating some creepy ghost guy or whatever, some kids die, you know, and all that, you know, the exercise really went in a very unexpected direction and while admittedly it was a scattershot I still ended up liking it just because of the big turn it took and it was at least interesting and definitely unexpected and don't forget that before we leave you can send me requests .
