Series 1899 It was a big year-end success for Netflix. Especially for a well-thought-out and well-built mixture of suspense, horror and even philosophical touches. Everything related to 1899 it is a mixture of different perspectives on reality, time and the concept of identity. And as if all of the above is not enough, it is also a well-constructed symbolic structure.
Actually, his use of symbols was one of his most celebrated moments 1899. In particular, when the interpretation of the reality that the characters live depends on them. From pyramids that show over and over again to keys and scarabs. The action of the series takes place in a half-asleep landscape, which is strangely connected in an inexplicable way with a rethinking of the present and the future. Which, in turn, is connected with the amazing subtlety of the concept of pain, grief and the search for answers about existence.
So even the title of the show was part of the speculation as to how time is interpreted. Moreover, the ideas about the temporal and reality as a whole are connected and reconstructed. At what point in history did this really happen? 1899? What is the real point in the middle of multiple simulations stacked on top of each other? Both questions can be more complex than they seem.
Appearance over time 1899
First season 1899 made it clear that Kerberos does not actually exist, but is part of a simulated reality. It also means that nothing we have seen so far is real, much less related to anything physical. Kerberos is just the stage for a more complex, bizarre, and complex system that is tied together by a complex idea of matter.
Which includes, of course, the estimated year in which it takes place. Why is it about the year 1899 and not another? Why is this time in the middle of a social and cultural divide? Why did Maura – or whoever is actually behind the creation of the simulation – decide that this was the end of the 19th century?
In fact, there is no single answer to the solution.. We only know that this is a breakthrough year in terms of migration movements in Europe and industrialization. 1899 It does not offer clear or obvious answers related to the topic, but the central idea is clear. If the simulation project is part of the representation of the reality of each passenger, wouldn’t it be easier to create something recognizable? In contrast to increasing the possibility of showing the future or the present, the simulation reproduces the time that a significant part of the passengers know about. At least one main idea to delve into.
Mysterious date to be answered in Season 2
However, the date 1899 It seems to be one of the main questions of the series. In particular, of which They need to be answered in the second season, not yet confirmed. Maybe the projection 200 years into the past has some real meaning for the Prometheus project? It remains only to wait for an answer.
