Honestly it sounds like Chapos are trying to fill whatever void they're experiencing with something at least a bit similar to what they collectively felt about Starship Troopers.
This is the part of the Chapo movie where they realize they can't bring their favorite Dutchman's magic back and will have come to terms with those feelings being tied to their past selves -- to the people they are no more and never will be again. Not only because how they changed, but how the world changed around them. They will struggle to understand this as they refuse to acknowledge how they are, in fact, not entirely independent from their surroundings. They will try to claim that Avatar -- the same thing that destroyed the future of the kind of art that Starship Troopers represents -- is, actually, its extension. They will believe that they can make it true with sophisticated incantations and rituals, but they will stumble and fail.
How will they reconcile their insular identities as defiant critics of reality they pretend to be above and their longing for attachment to the very reality that inevitably shapes them? How will they cope with the fact they failed to hide their earnest longing for Paul Verhoeven's art of their younger years, but the anxieties about the futility of the act made them preface their faux-ironic analysis in the guise of a bit?
Nie ma za co :cat-trans:
And thanks for the suggestions too, I'll add them right away!
