Why everyone pushes in Severance old cars, according to the creator of the show

“Severance” may seem similar to ourselves, but it is a peek on his technique It adds layers to the central display puzzle. A clearer example of this is the computers used by the Microdata (MDR) clamped team on the lump floor of Lumon Industries, which look more promoted than Dystopian. This may not be logical at the beginning, as Lumon mastered the morally and very controversial separation process, highlighting the technological jumps that this society has already achieved. But computers used to carry out the “mysterious and important” work in Lomon are not elegant or comfortable-they are nostalgia, almost surreal to the design, with a huge tracking ball alongside the double keyboard. The narrative topics of the domination of companies and manipulation (which were partially inspired by the “proverb Stanley”) It can only be obtained from these designs, because these keyboard features each button except CTRL and ESC.

There is a little technology that we see in Lumon, which is the psychological torture system in the restroom, which does not seem threatened or fate at first glance. The mood is set immediately after the employee entered, as it is met with a long dark corridor that is barely wide enough for one person. This anxiety caused by fear of simple preparation follows: a dimmed table that resembles the interrogation room, with a transparent display screen displaying words that must be spoken again and again. There are no advanced investigations/machines used to harm the employee, but a terrible psychological tactic is used to ensure that the strongest minds are broken and destroyed. Again, a false feeling is created by safety Technological preparation that provokes twisted nostalgia and fateful simplicity.

However, this technological dissolution exists even Outside Lumon, where every driving character is seen, can only be called ancient and reactionary school. The creator of the series Dan Ericsson shed light on these important details in the field of building the world, so let’s break it.

In an interview with BuzzfeedErikson explained the reason why old technology in the exhibition is intended Lumon’s contract on its employees skillfully extends to the outside world. For beginners, the technology is a “cold” modification technology as an aesthetic option, but old computers on the cut floor are often used to dismantle the lump employees from a specific and space feeling:

“I will say that I think it looks great, whether there is another layer behind it. There is always a feeling that you are far from time and place. This begins on the cut floor, because there, technology is more intentionally – partially because there can be nothing outside, it is not given external, or what it is outside, or what it is outside, or what it is outside, or what is in it, or what he knows, or what he knows outside Outside, or what he teaches abroad, or what he knows.

Although ancient technology closes the possibility of using WiFi or Bluetooth to facilitate contact with the outside world, it also provides confusion in the Innie perception of the reality in which they live. This deliberate repulsion does not stop it, as Lumon’s Shadow is skating throughout the city, indicating techniques for benefiting from these companies. This is evident, which is controlled by social and cultural trends and the life of its employees in this type of car that ends these characters, including Harmony Cobel’s (Patricia Arquette) 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit and Mark Scout (Adam Scott) 1997 Volvo 960.

Moreover, the Lumon Employment effect extends beyond the company’s buildings: it is in the birth cabin, the cities of the company owned by the company, and even when you talk to your neighbor, who you are He thinks Free from hidden motives. As Ericsson says it is a “slightly perverted version of our reality” where the concepts of time, space and scientific progress are distorted consciously to suit the huge corrupt whims.

The first two seasons of “Severance” are available to broadcast on Apple TV+.
