Explaining Jung’s concept of the Self:

Jung believed that the purpose of one’s life is to make one’s ego indistinguishable from his concept of the Self.

Within each person’s unconscious mind lies their own “self”, which is the highest possible form of development that one’s ego can achieve.

Upon achieving the “self”, the person achieves a state that is akin to Godhood.

This is why, in Jung’s writings, he referred to Jesus as a symbol for the Self.

People use Jesus as a symbol to guide their own journey towards their own “Jungian self”.

In the case of the girl… she fell into the water, which as I stated earlier in the video, symbolizes unconsciousness.

Upon death, she sees the aged, mature version of herself (her “self”) and merges with it.

It’s no wonder that soon after this happened, she is memorialized on the eye of God in the form of a statue.

She attained that state.

  • Release Date (Theaters): Dec 7, 2010  Limited
  • Runtime: 14m

This is how Fandom describes this animated comic short film:

Inception: The Cobol Job is a prologue to Inception: The Big Under, and thus to Inception as well. Written by Jordan Goldberg, the comic was illustrated by Long Vo, Joe Ng, and Crystal Reid of Udon.

The comic was originally published online on the Inception official website and at Yahoo! Movies, but has since been taken down.

It details the heist on Mr. Kaneda‘s mind by Nash, Cobb, Arthur, and several Cobol Engineering thugs.

The dream world takes the shape of a downtown area complete with skyscrapers, a bank, and an office building.

Plot

The comic begins with a narrative about Miles teaching Cobb about dream sharing to prove that “creativity knew no bounds” and that “creation should be for the sake of creation, not for profit.”.

This narrative is accompanied by the dream world of this downtown area.

Cobb, in this dream world, is tempted by Mal to look at her and as he resists, a passenger bus manifests itself and nearly runs over Cobb.

It would have killed him if Arthur, reliable as ever, hadn’t pulled him out of the way.

In the interest of the job, Cobb won’t let Arthur know that he saw Mal.

Cobb and Arthur meet with several of Cobol Engineering’s thugs who act as tourists, making sure the job gets done, even at the expense of the job.

Arthur and three thugs stick up a jewelry store, demanding that the silent alarm within it be turned on.

The police soon arrive at the jeweler’s, as Cobb meets with Nash, an unreliable architect who was chosen only for his availability, who gives Cobb directions to the office of the paranoid Kaneda.

As Nash creates a diversion by running through employee-only rooms, Cobb, and a Cobol thug find Kaneda’s office, where Kaneda calls the police.

However, the police are in the jewelry store, still tied up in Arthur’s distraction.

Cobb threatens Kaneda for the password to his computer, shooting his tourist to prove his seriousness, then unveiling a bomb.

The police leave the jewelry store, making their way to Kaneda’s office.

As one of Arthur’s tourists shoot themselves to leave the dream, Arthur improvises into the first floor of the office building, shooting police left and right to create diversion.

Nash is found by Kaneda’s receptionist, who hits him with an ax.

Once Nash is dead, the dream starts collapsing and Cobb hurries things along.

Kaneda unlocks his computer and Cobb searches for RDS-1 Energy Expansion Program.

Upon finding, it password-protected, Cobb demands a password, but Kaneda doesn’t know it.

He says the Expansion Program was Saito’s idea and only Saito knows the password.

The bomb goes off and Cobb wakes up on a cot in a ‘hostage room’ where he spins his totem to confirm reality, but its spin is interrupted by a thug attempting to beat Cobb.

Woodruff, head of Cobol Engineering, calls off the thugs and, alone with Cobb, Arthur, and Nash, asks for the information.

Cobb explains that only Saito has the information, and Woodruff reveals the information was going to be used to buy Fischer Morrow‘s financial backing on an oil pipeline up the entire eastern coast of Africa.

With the stakes revealed, we can see that Cobb’s totem has stopped spinning.

Cobb agrees to the job, on the condition that there be no tourists.

Everything needs to be Cobb, Nash, and Arthur.

Saito is trained in dream-share, which means he’ll be onto them from the start.

Cobb already has a plan in mind and the comic ends with a narrative, that this is no dream and Cobb cannot fail.

PLUTO | Official Teaser | Netflix

Here is how MyAnimeList describes this anime:

Synopsis

Famous for his military service in the 39th Asian War, the legendary Swiss robot Montblanc is violently murdered.

Humans and robots around the world mourn for the beloved celebrity.

Montblanc’s popularity only grew in the years following the war, thanks to his dedication to nature conservation and his loving personality.

Fellow war veteran and robotic Europol detective Gesicht is sent to investigate Montblanc’s tragic demise.

In his pursuit, Gesicht uncovers evidence of a mysterious entity known only as “Pluto.”.

He also learns of a conspiratorial plot to dismantle the eight specialized robots from around the world who participated in the war.

Racing against time to save those who still remain, Gesicht grapples with his memory, morality, and a world full of hate, desperately attempting to defend the fragile coexistence of man and machine.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

Background

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Osamu Tezuka’s acclaimed Tetsuwan Atom, seinen mangaka Naoki Urasawa collaborated with Tezuka productions to create this dark adaptation of Atom‘s “The Greatest Robot on Earth” story arc.

The adaptation moves the focus from Tezuka’s protagonist Atom to his supporting character Gesicht in order to better ground the story in realism and reflect the modern world through this sci-fi tale.

Pluto was published in English as Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka by VIZ Media under the VIZ Signature imprint from February 17, 2009 to April 6, 2010.

Here is how The IMDb describes this anime:

When the world’s seven most advanced robots and their human allies are murdered one by one, inspector Gesicht soon discovers that he’s also in danger.

In a distant future where sentient humanoid robots pass for human, someone or something is out to destroy the seven great robots of the world.

Europol’s top detective Gesicht is assigned to investigate these mysterious robot serial murders, the only catch is that he himself is one of the seven targets.

Here is how Wikipedia describes this anime:

An anime adaptation by Studio M2 was announced to be in production at the 2017 Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June.[43]

In May 2022, the adaptation was confirmed to still be in production by Studio M2 founder Masao Maruyama.[44]

Toshio Kawaguchi is the series’ director, with Urasawa as creative advisor, Shigeru Fujita designed the characters and serves as supervising animation director, and Yugo Kanno composing the music.

The series made its premiere exclusively on Netflix on October 26, 2023, and consisted of eight episodes.[5]

Each episode was produced with assistance from another studio.

Plot

Pluto follows the Europol robot detective Gesicht in his attempts to solve the case of a string of robot and human deaths around the world, where all the victims have objects shoved into or positioned by their heads, imitating horns.

The case becomes more puzzling when evidence suggests a robot is responsible for the murders, which would make it the first time a robot has killed a human in eight years.

All seven of the great robots of the world (the most scientifically advanced which have the potential to become weapons of mass destruction) seem to be the killer’s targets, and the murdered humans are connected to preserving the International Robot Laws which grant robots equal rights.
