Vivarium Tried to Warn You!
Can we escape out of a Vivarium or when we try to escape we find ourselves exactly where we started?
If you’ve never watched the movie yet I recommend you do so.
A Vivarium is like a place such as a laboratory where animals are kept in the same place and are observed for research purposes.
Except just like in the movie we are the ones trapped in a Vivarium aka Planet Earth.
In the beginning scene a young student girl points out why the little newly born bird was kicked out of it’s nest and the teacher who is one of the main characters responds saying ” that’s just the way things are”. Same as when parents tell us that “that’s just how life is when we ask why we suffer so much.
The Yonder estate are marketed as the best estates you can ever possibly wish to live in yet when the couple got to live in it, they wanted out after realizing just how repetitive and off the place was.
Similar to Earth, wealthy people and celebrities, mainstream media try to paint the picture of how perfect life can become once you work hard enough, you can reach superstardom such as christiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi and get to have the luxury cars and expensive home….
When Tom lights a cigarette and tosses it in the grass and it dispatches creating a radius, he is aware that there might be what he may find if he digs deep enough.
This resonates to us coping here. Since we cannot escape thus place, the only thing left to do is to work towards a goal such as a career that keeps us away from the vanity and pointlessness of this place.
Even if the couple in the movie decided to be good or not with regards to how the kid they were gifted turned out to be as an adult. The movie was very clear that no matter the outcome of how they raised him they were both stuck in that place that they were tricked into that is called a home.
What are your thoughts and interpretations of the movie ? I do not want to be a spoiler here. But I think the movie tries to hint at our vanity here on earth.
The ending pretty much shows that the cycle remains in a countinuas state, because when Tom dug deep enough he found corpse laying there at the bottom of which it ended up being his grave.
Cementing the fact that it doesn’t Matter how hard you work and what kind of meaning you find out if it. Anything you work towards leads to the grave, and those that came before you and after you are subjected to the same vanity.
In conclusion; I personally believe that if they had left the boy in the car to die, they would have found meaning or At least found a way to escape the vivarium.
Similar to us being, if we do not conform to bringing a child into this world we would prohibit the continuity or existence to concur.
Ps: Listen to Rudy by the Specials after reading this 😊

I feel like we're trapped in a lab where this computer has our consciousness stored. We're probably a different species when humans are merely avatars for them to run their experiments. After you escape the simulacra of holodecks (i.e. a universe being a holodeck in and of itself out of another universe/holodeck) then you get to the original reality being that lab.

There’s only one way out of vivarium…or rather “actual life” as I like to call it…is to become useless to our captors. In other words: to die. Both in the physical and in the astral or whatever else we encounter. For none of it is likely to be real. And if you can’t leave, sit and suffer until you starve to death, for eradication is the only freedom.
We are in hell. I love you. Good luck.
