And interesting comment.<br /><br /> Sorry I am not on top form at all today, didn't have a good night, in fact it was an awful night, and the day has not improved my health!<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-21378510164956569732013-11-16T14:13:16.482+00:002013-11-16T14:13:16.482+00:00Hello Arno,

No.6 was down on the beach simply on the off chance of someone turning up, or at least to see a sign from his world.<br /> To my mind the message N.6 heard on the radio was meant for No.34, the man No.6 found dead in the water. Who was possibly a plant in the Village, seeing as it was No.34 who had possession of the radio in the first place!<br /><br />Very Kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-38227198292053985862013-11-15T10:48:58.787+00:002013-11-15T10:48:58.787+00:00Hello David,

In Orphee the writer (Orphée) recieved such messages from a dead artist to lure him. Dead herself makes the artist send those messages because she adores Orpheus. The writer would collect those lines to write them down as his own lyrics, in fact he became addicted to them. Those lines heard in this episode might be of the same origin. They seem to tell the prisoner what he wants to hear. Also, just like in Orphée the radio becomes the source of all further troubles and the reason for his own rendezvous with death.<br />Best wishes,<br />Jana <br />BCNUJananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-9318675255832199392013-11-15T10:31:10.254+00:002013-11-15T10:31:10.254+00:00The message content of course is ambivalent and, m...The message content of course is ambivalent and, most likely, wasn't directed to No. 6 himself. No one could have foreseen he'd find a radio. Not so its use in that scene placed purposefully by the script. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
