The cage - it is equipped with a dining area, kitchen, bathroom, food supplies for 6 months, and it moves, you could go anywhere in it. Why is it likely to move, and who for?
But in the end, can we take the final escape on atruck for its face value supposing the Village was all in the mind? There is a remarkable similarity to the movie BRAZIL. Sam Lowry on the run, suddenly he opens a door to find himself on a truck carrying him away and inside a pre-fabricated concrete container building. As it shows it didn't happen in reality. Eventually he escaped, albeit differently than one had assumed. - BCNU!
Hard to imagine this whole facility was set up for the interrogation of No. 6 only. The mobile container, which is also a prison cell, may have been provided for transporting either staff or prisoners/persons of interest quite easily and with a decent accommodation to and from the Village when a helicopter flight wasn't feasible.

I'm not so sure that the Embryo Room was a facility just for the interrogation of Number 6. I'm of the opinion that many have passed this way prior to Number 6. Yours in an interesting take on the use of the cage. But for me the cage, even though it's a prison cell, is a means of escape, and in all probability meant for No.1. I wonder what kind of response the cage would have created on the journey home to London? I mean what would take place at a customs checkpoint on a border between countries for example? That is where No.2 would come in, using his diplomatic skills.
BRAZIL is a film I have not seen, but it sounds intruiging, I shall have to check it out sometime.
BRAZIL by the ingenious Terry Gilliam who invented the paper cutting animations for Monty Python's Flying Cicus. Great images here, a large screen is a must. - BCNU!

ReplyDeleteSorry, this paragraph was to come first, again:
