I really wanted to create this post in order to make some connection between the movie WestWorld and my family's town of Somerset, PA, but the analogies are escaping me for the moment. What would be the murderous steely-eyed rogue robotic cowboy in my reality? Everything else might fall into place though. The Pennsylvania countryside is obviously playing the role of the vacation destination as in the film, and the nostalgia of the Holiday will surely absorb me into the past as did the amusement park in WestWorld to its visitors. At some point, however, my companion will be slain by a soulless Yul Brynnar who doesn't take kindly to strangers, and I will dart about in a world that turns out to be even less familiar when its mask is removed and I am faced with the very real underpinnings of a realm that has been exponentially refusing my control.
Perhaps I'm being chased from theme park to theme park already, only to end up in WestWorld where I'll melt the face right off my predator. I'm being hunted away from CityWorld by a permanent struggle with job loss and recent incompetent clients. The good news is that no matter how exhausting the chase, I should be able to come out on top. Then it's on to Futureworld!
