The Lay of the Land
Always I recommend watching the indicated portion of the film (located in subtitle) prior and during reading these posts.
Structure: Non-Dialogue Audio, Visual, Characters, and Dialogue.
Always: Please note that these posts will continue to be edited as the series progresses—there may be some errors in the first drafts published here—it’s all sort of a rough draft.
**I added a critical element I’d missed to the last two explications, reprinted here:
But hold up—who is this “Shareholder”? In my opinion, this is no other than the True Self—a Shareholder in Macha’s experience, and one who’s trying to take him down, or at least slow his roll in the casino world, Gold’s world, the world of the ego—trying to wake him up; someone who is a wrench in the gears of the denial machine Macha is striving to create. We all have this True Self Shareholder—our intuition, that still small voice trying to get us to see beyond the veil, wake us up, and help us to realize we are actually this infinite, True Self.
