I just watched The Backrooms movie and honestly I loved it. I love how Clark, the architect selling furnitures for a living, has his mind represented as The Backroom : no logic, no sense, no structure, always changing because Clark keeps spiralling/replaying his traumas trying to find meaning, understand something but ends up doing the same thing. Being lost and confused.
Him finding solace in this place because that’s all he knows, that’s how it’s wired. And it cannot be explained logically because this man fell into madness because of too much pain.
Captain Clark that is simply the mad part of him, the one he’s been repressing in order to stay as put together as possible took control of him when he thought he could finally live « freely » in his mind. Actually, he wanted to change, he wanted to understand, but it was way too deep and painful to accept that he’s at fault and he cannot change. As if, he was doomed and meant to suffer. He collapsed and became dangerous, as a way to avenge himself from the solitude in the pain. Him and his memories the « place tries to remember ».
At the end, though the ending is open, I do believe that Clark went in hospital… possibly due to an alcohol overdose, maybe he became unconscious and the scientists put him in an artificial unconscious state to scan his brain and help him with the help of his therapist.
Otherwise, they could just be his neurons, his brain neurons trying to make sense out of his unstructured mind. Or again, and I think it could be something possible. Clark is the « Superego », Captain Clark is the « It » and the Backrooms are the « Me » (in reference to Freud).
Clark tries to stay normal, a functioning member of society, trying to (re)build his life by compromising and living of off rules (authority figures such as Mary, and being the authoritative figure for his employees) : Superego.
Captain Clark is its mindness, crazyness, pain, fears, insecurities, repressed emotions being expressed only through other means like alcohol and being miserable, as well as work (not paying attention on how much time he spends working). That is the It.
The Backrooms are representing his unconscious, where Captain Clark is, where everything is fully and freely expressed without any rules or anybody to tell him what to do. Full of what he thinks daily, what hurts him and reminds him of how, what and who he became. It’s in the basement of his store. It’s so deep within him that one should pass through a wall to see it, not just go downstairs.
I believe he did open the window and never came back. He went inside, inside himself, he opened the « door » to his collapsed mind and found peace there. Though there are no windows to help him see clearly around him, the world and other possibilities available, he created fake ones showing him what he always knew : the neighborhood, the suburb. Nothing new. If nothing is new, nothing changed, and if nothing changed nothing is new. It felt more secure to him, more predictable, more controllable. Lowkey similar to Mary when she was a child. It was to prevent possible threats and danger. But because he refused to open up, to change his view and take other risks and habits, he just fell down deeply in his ideas : « The world is dangerous and painful. My head is safer, my way of operating protects me. I don’t take risks of being hurt by anyone else if I lock myself in. And if I’m wrong, who am I outside the pain I grew up with and internalized? I always pushed through it, if I don’t have it anymore, what does that make me? A miserable man who suffered for nothing and made efforts for nothing? »
Just my take though. I just loved analyzing it.
Is anyone ever gonna top “attention freaks, it’s me. we’re supposed to be starting our new job at any moment. how do we get out of here away from you immediately? (…) how strange. they’re pretending they don’t respect me.” like, the words, the delivery, the cadence, the quality meme content, truly our generation’s to be or not to be
New ocs holy shit...
