Indeed, if an artificial conscience might seem to be the worst thing for one’s freedom, in this case it is not totally irrelevant. I really appreciate the fact that Trevor Goodchild is not an all-dark, crazy dictator who acts only for his self accomplishment. He is implanted with an artificial conscience by sheer force and suddenly becomes polite, sweet and released from any kind of nastiness. Bambara gets caught by Trevor and his troop. Trevor’s new whim in this episode is to give the population an artificial conscience, under the shape of a metallic skeleton, called “Custodian,” that is transplanted into people through their navels. It also seems that characters and situations are much sillier under Peter Chung’s directing. I can remember that “absurd” is a word that came out frequently in my first posts about the show. Nevertheless, they are designed this way purely for the aesthetic of the show and this is, in my opinion, essential for its identity. Technically speaking, those scenes could have been directed in a more conventional way to show Aeon’s lack of ethic. The man is begging for help with his eyes but Aeon prefers using the crutches to neutralize an electrified door. He ends up a leash in his mouth attached to his dog that is running outside the train. In the third wagon, there is an old man lying on the floor because Bambara has thrown away his crutches. When Aeon arrives and sees the scene, she just goes on her way without trying to help the child. In the second wagon, there i s only a child hanging from a trapeze, who Bambara, for the pleasure of it, ties up and leaves hanging in a very uncomfortable position. Though Aeon is after Bambara, she takes the time to smile, raising one eyebow, and decides to give the roll to the guy inside the toilets. When Aeon enters the first wagon, a hand comes out a toilet cabin and points from its finger a roll of toilet paper at the other side of the wagon. There I found what I think makes Aeon Flux avant-garde. She is chasing him within a train and the viewer follows them running through the different wagons. In T he Purge, directed by Peter Chung, the show returns to its essence.Īt the beginning of the episode, Aeon is on the heels of Bambara, a huge, fat, and simple-minded mean criminal who keeps shouting out a “piss off” curse. That is why those episodes somehow miss the digressions that are so typical of Aeon Flux. Now I think about it, those episodes follow a very American conception of the dramaturgy, that is to say that the pace has to be maintained fast so there is no room for “extras”, every shot is well-ordered in the framework, each image conveys sense logically. Episodes like Chronophasia, the Demiurge or yet Reraizure are directed by Howard Baker. Though Peter Chung is always present whether it be in the writing, the story or the directing, the atmosphere differs if he is not the director.
