When Aeon arrives and sees the scene, she just goes on her way without trying to help the child.
In the second wagon, there i s only a child hanging from a trapeze, who Bambara, for the pleasure of it, ties up and leaves hanging in a very uncomfortable position. Though Aeon is after Bambara, she takes the time to smile, raising one eyebow, and decides to give the roll to the guy inside the toilets. When Aeon enters the first wagon, a hand comes out a toilet cabin and points from its finger a roll of toilet paper at the other side of the wagon. There I found what I think makes Aeon Flux avant-garde. She is chasing him within a train and the viewer follows them running through the different wagons.
In T he Purge, directed by Peter Chung, the show returns to its essence.Īt the beginning of the episode, Aeon is on the heels of Bambara, a huge, fat, and simple-minded mean criminal who keeps shouting out a “piss off” curse. That is why those episodes somehow miss the digressions that are so typical of Aeon Flux.
Now I think about it, those episodes follow a very American conception of the dramaturgy, that is to say that the pace has to be maintained fast so there is no room for “extras”, every shot is well-ordered in the framework, each image conveys sense logically. Episodes like Chronophasia, the Demiurge or yet Reraizure are directed by Howard Baker. Though Peter Chung is always present whether it be in the writing, the story or the directing, the atmosphere differs if he is not the director. Outside she encounters a custodian going through the same lever throwing motion that she used moments earlier.Aeon Flux is back at last! Until watching this episode I hadn’t really paid attention to who directed which episode. The audience boos and throws levers that open a trap door under Bambara.Īeon shrugs at this turn of events and walks through the exit. Trevor is revealed to be a shell for a custodian that begins malfunctioning, much to Bambara's astonishment. As he prepares to shoot Trevor, Aeon throws a lever that she believes will drop a weight on him, but the weight remains in place. Just as he offers her the choice to leave, Bambara crashes into the theater bent on revenge for the loss of his arm. In front of a theater audience, with two young "hostesses" using levers to move props around, Trevor challenges her to determine whether she acts with her own will. There is a custodian implantation mark on her navel but she does not feel different. A bomb that Bambara placed earlier on the train explodes, killing the counter-insurgent leader.Īeon awakens in Trevor's presence.
The struggle catches the attention of a Breen agent who takes down Aeon with a tranquilizer gun. She struggles with custodian as it tries to reimplant itself in her, while Bambara resumes his rampage. She takes the booth next to Bambara, tranquilizes him, and removes the custodian. The group's leader tells Aeon that she can have Bambara, but asks her to bring the custodian to them by implanting it in herself.Īeon goes undercover at the Breen food distribution center where Bambara eats. The agent, Judy, works for a group of "counter-insurgents" opposed to Trevor's custodian program. When he awakens Bambara befriends a one-armed boy, to whom he donates one of his arms.Īeon notices another secret agent tracking Bambara. Trevor Goodchild finally takes Bambara down with tranquilizers and implants him with a robotic conscience called a custodian.
