Avalon

I did not like the beginning of this film, I thought it was very slow and I did not really like the graphics, but as it went on, it got better. I don't fully buy into the premise of the film and I think it looks very low budget and amateur in most ways. What I did enjoy is the ending. I like how you really can't tell what really happened and where Ash ends up. I think that if you pay attention to the lyrics sung at the end of the opera that is being performed, you have to assume that Ash has won the game and now become part of the new "Nine Sisters" meaning that Murphy really was the intruder in Class: Real.

  1. I didn't assume that Ash won the game, I kind of felt like she wanted to go rouge and stay in that "level" with normal colors and normal people. I think that every time the Nine Sisters sent a player to that level, the player realized that level of reality was much better than their stupid sepia toned reality and wanted to stay there -- Murphy and Ash had the same gun. So perhaps they had the same mission?

  2. I don’t think that there is any right or wrong interpretation of this film. However, my take on it is that neither the virtual world nor the physical world she lived was real. Not until the films conclusion did Ash truly reach real existence, and enter into Avalon. The next level implied by the additional narration in the closing seconds is the real reality.
