Great things interest my mind, I really like watching, reading, knowing, hearing things that try to

boggle up different ideas I know before, then leave me in shambles; makes me question other things,
what-ifs, and messed up theories. People like me would be called geeks, that like different kinds of stuff
that makes the brain go cuckoo, people like sci-fi movies, people who are fans of star wars, people who
read comics. In my whole existence I’ve never learned such a lot from a subject, well what I’m tryna say
is I loved the movie as much as how philosophy enlightened a lot of dim corners of my head, instead of
them ending up unused. Freedom is mainly theme here in the movies, us choosing for the people of the
story makes us the secondary author of the movie, well it turns out as the story goes along we realize
that when they end up in terrible situations; it’s our fault.

The story tackles on the idea of the freedom and such things in its domain, like the idea of
determinism, hard determinism, libertarianism, and lastly compatibilism. There are connections of such
things in the movie like the idea of determinism; being the thought of occurrences happen caused by
prior happening, like us choosing of what the protagonist should do to arrive to a certain result. Being
the events are predicted, there is an absence of what we call foreshadowing, for there are no absolute
sequence of what “should happen” next. It is determined for we have something to choose. This
immediately me remind me of the scene where Stefan, our protagonist, needs to decide whether he’ll
accept the offer of working with them or take it down and finish it all alone. But actually it’s up to us,
and he can’t make his own choices. Also the same as falleness, for example a child in the real world,
asking his/her parents on what shirt should he/she buy, yet the little one is pity if the parents didn’t ask
and let him/her pick what he/really like, he/has has no choice leaving what he/she really wanted. Next
one is hard determinism, drops the thought of a chosen choice being irreversible, which if we try to
fathom, if we choose a sudden choice we can’t do the otherwise, yet it happens it the show, if we lead
ourselves in a dead-end where after, you might go back and let’s you pick the other choice which you
didn’t bother to evade before, leading you to go further deep into the happenings, this happened to me
when I chose to accept the offer. In addition to that the idea of “No freewill then no moral
responsibility”, meaning the blame is on us with the choices he get to act upon. Which partly indicates
that if my parents chose the course to take, but then I end up being not passionate of what I’ve finish
and professed in. Thirdly, libertarianism, raises the idea of self-determinism, which we can explain like,
Stefan has his own consciousness, seeing that in some scene after being aware he tries to counter ague
what he’s compelled to do; then why can’t he resist? According to libertarianism it is all-about self
determinism, there are no causes yet is determined because of it being “desired”. So maybe he likes
what choices we pick too, we’ll never know. Lastly is compatibilism, which I think doesn’t happen, it says
that everything is predictable yet, it’s up to the chooser what he/should to pick. As what is said to the
book compatibilisim if he is not constrained then he/she following what his heart desires. For an
instance, society may restrain you from being something different, there is awakening that happens that
you realize that it is up to you if you let this force control you or fight and repel what it orders you to be.

Let’s try to ponder on what colin said, “Like pacman, he thinks that he’s got freewill, but the
truth is, he’s trapped in a maze and all he can do is consume, pursued by the demons, that’s just
probably in his own head.” This is a metaphor pertaining in a community, all brainwashed; reminds me
of North Korea, did you know that they treat their leader as more of a God, they have a shrine of him
praising him for what he’s done for the country, and people in North Korea are oblivious of what is truly
happening outside, in a large maze built with humungous walls blinding them, and poisoning their
minds. It appears that the story may seem like an allegory.

These things are just wonderful and mind opening. Lemony Snicket said that, “In every library
there is a single book that answer all questions that burns like fire in the mind,” Bandersnatch belong to
those kind of books. We should continue to find stories that bridges idea with a larger perspective of the
world, we just need to pick the right choice
