The Overmind seems to work very similar to the Flood from the Halo series, or vice versa. The underlying premise is that the universe's original consciousness created other life so that it could absorb all of their experiences upon their death, in order to achieve infinite experiences. The aversion of death that all creatures experience is designed to give the original consciousness a chance to experience fear which is an impossible outcome if we are not given our free will. It would be interesting to know why the Overlords cannot enter the Light. I assume the Overmind does not want their experiences to be a part of the entirety of consciousness, perhaps because the experience of their work in the universe would be akin to seeing a director with his props in the final cut of a movie. Not allowing their race to enter the Light would be the only way the Overmind could deliver a pure batch of experiences to itself. Cool movie.

In the book, "Childhood's End", the Overlords say that their own evolutionary path has come to a dead end, but humanity can ascend to the next level. The Overlords are permitted to study the transition, but not interfere, or else. I haven't seen the movie / series of it, but in the book the Overlords never kill anyone, or let humans torture or kill animals, though they will let humans kill each other since that is their choice. And the children are the ones in charge, also the daughter is not all powerful, she is just one of many, it is the Overmind that is powerful. I highly recommend the book, even though it was written so long ago. Also, the Overlord's homeworld isn't all lava. It is under the light of a red dwarf star so there is a reddish pall to everything, for human eyes.

Differences between the book and movie New Athens is something like a new Renaissance New Athens is actually taken out by a tidal wave and it's implied that this was done by the overlords. When Milo returns to earth, basically all the children don't look quite human and are all on one continent. The earth isn't destroyed but rather every living being joins the overmind in a flash of light that comes after the humans rearrange the moons orbit.
@UteChewb10 ай бұрын
NO. New Athens is *not* taken out by a tidal wave. A tidal wave hits the beaches where Jamie is wading. Karellan, or his assistant, warn him and tell him to run to higher ground. Then Karellan visits and is asked by Jamie's parents if the Overlords are monitoring humans (No), their family (Yes). This is the start of the change in the children who don't raise their hands, that's just added in. New Athens ends when the parents are walking along the beach after the ships have arrived to take the children to a safe place, because they are in danger from their own parents. The wife looks at her husband just before the nuke goes off because she too is psychic. The Earth is destroyed, leached of all energy including the matter, that's almost a quote. The moon continues on, and Karellan thinks it will be lonely now.

The movie produced the same emotion that reading the book in high school did: despair, as the despair of the adults whose children have grown distant and start leave them (a horrible pain as any parent would know), and despair of all the individual characters whose lives are being followed: Ricky whose wife died of cancer, and he still misses her despite being remarried. Elly because Ricky can't let go of his previous dead wife, Rachael who loves Milo but her affection is not returned by Milo, Milo who wants to know everything but can't, Milo who later decides to love Rachael but too late because she is now dead, (this really got to me). and even despair of the overlords themselves because they can't join the overmind as part of the cognitive melting pot like all the other species have.

Like the idea of what angels really look like (rotating rings of eyes surrounded by many, many wings and emanating light) sounds like a possibly misunderstood hologram or unknown tech. This is a fascinating exploration into the idea, and it could definitely be taken even further! Great video and subscribed!

I always wondered about the garden of Eden just being a test to see if humans are rally conscious entities. Like, how do you test if something is smart? Actually smart? Actual consciousness? Whatever you tell the thing to do and it does it its just a machine following orders. You tell an AI to draw a picture of a cat is just like pushing the gas pedal on a car. There is no true consciousness there. So how do you test consciousness? How do you test to see if your creations are ready? You give them the opportunity to break a rule. Machines can't break rules. Only true consciousness can go directly against what it is told. So perhaps the Garden of Eden was just a testing ground and once they broke that rule they proved themselves to be truly human, truly alive.

The explanation of a sort of genetic memory, or echo perhaps, was a fascinating idea.

So humans can ascend and join the overlord and maybe a new reality. The gift is so great that it makes the aliens envy it. The devil like creatures envy humans because they are stuck in this one reality and can never escape it. Well, damn. Looks like the humans who left their plane of existence can enjoy another one possibly. The devil like creatures can only know the reality they currently inhabit. It's like living in different movies or video games and experience new possibilities. The aliens only get to enjoy one game but seemingly live forever. It would get stale playing one game as the same character or watching the same movie over and over again.

It's an allegory of the Bible. The aliens are angels, the devils are the fallen angels, the hive mind is the "New Jerusalem" of Revelation," and the envy the Overlords feel is the same envy that led some of the angels to fall.

@@rharris4736 I don't think Clarke wrote it as an allegory. In the book the reason that people fear the devil is that humans can see the future and other things, though not well, this is the thing that the Overlords don't have and that the Overmind will enhance in humanity. But humans sense that in some future these creatures will come and take away their children, and doom the Earth, which is an oversimplification of what happens. So the bible is a foreshadowing of the event produced from the occasional psychic ability in humans. Read the book, it's pretty clear.

That's not really what happens to humans in the book or the movie. They don't join the overmind as the recap suggests, humans become their own independent 4th/5th dimensional species. The Overmind is essentially a doctor (in the sense that it directs the 'birth') and the Overlords are like midwives. What was discovered is this is the only path of evolution that works, all other paths lead to galactic violence or self destruction, and the overlords are actually an evolutionary dead end. That's why they assist the overmind willingly, they are allowed to study the process and they are trying to overcome their own nature as an evolutionary dead end. So basically the overlords cull the dead ends and free up their planets for other species to take over (it's implied in the book they were responsibile for the dirty work of the "flood" from the bible because the species on track to take over the planet was a violent one and humans have a genetic memory of the event from a past ancestor) and they help birth the new ascendant consciousness into the next world.

The aliens who happened to look like the devil's in the Christian tradition come to earth to shepherd the Human race as it evolves and ascends joining the universal overlord. It was their job to do this across the universe because their race could not ascend to this level of existence. Please read the book. It is a classic but so disquieting that I will never read it again.

Dude, that plane isn't "landing!" It's being gently lowered by something that has power over gravity!! I haven't seen the film, so I don't understand what's going on. But I DO know that for an aeroplane to remain aloft (VTOL excepted, but irrelevant here anyway) it needs to generate lift over its wings, which can only happen when there's enough airflow over them. This means that if it wants to stay in the air, it NEEDS to also be moving forward. This aircraft ISN'T moving forward at all, instead appearing to just be hovering in the one spot, being lowered ever so gently. That implies the defiance of gravity.

This is based on Arthur C Clarke's book, "Childhood's End". The one thing that really bothered me was the fact that they changed the spokesman from the UN General Secretary in the book, to some farmer from the Midwest in the miniseries. Why would they choose him from all the people in the world? It doesn't make sense. There seems to be a trope about the protagonist having to be some down-to-earth white male from the Midwest. If the story needs it to be that way, OK, but don't strong arm a character in for no good (plot-wise) reason.
@theuglykwan9 ай бұрын

@DadCanInJapan9 ай бұрын
@@theuglykwan Farmers have baggage too - all the beliefs from their podunk town and ignorance of the wider world. There are good politicians with a wide knowledge of negotiations and world affairs who would be better fits to handle a world-changing event than some hick who probably had never been out of Kansas. I certainly wouldn't trust him. The show was a US production and they decided they needed a US protagonist, so they went with the standard trope of using a someone from the Midwest.
@JehutySet229 ай бұрын
Honestly changing from a politician to a farmer wasn’t that bad of change choice, it sort of makes sense as someone already said most people nowadays don’t trust politicians. The big change that irked me more than anything was the condensed time frame, in the book the overlords waited 50 years before they showed themselves, they wanted humanity to grow accustomed to their presence and guiding force before they appeared to the world as they truly were, they wanted to make the earth a paradise for a reason as it was the mission entrusted to them by the overmind. The mini series didn’t really make the new “Golden Age” the way the book described it, I was hoping to see more of that era as it sounded interesting in the book, I wish they would have kept a few more plot points from the book but what we got wasn’t terrible just not as good as it could have been.
