This is a tribute to an episode of mr robot where a seemingly German officer of E-Corp is speaking to Eliott. This is the beginning of the working day and obviously this senior employee is telling to Eliott that “beginning is easy, to last is art”, a German proverb.
I spent three years watching this TV show and obviously its quality is very high, especially regarding the way it is conceived and how it appeared to the screen. Episode 5 of season 3 is incredibly realistic in its violence. I remember very well being shocked by the violent assault of E-Corp’s offices.
Violence is and has always been a part of life. To be exhaustive there is first of all – words and speech- then law, and at the end violence and strenght.
Law is a tool to master violence within societies and human interactions. Law is not really a mean to protect the weak neither it is for the powerful ones, first of all it’s sometimes made by powerful and wealthy nations. On a second hand it’s always an element in front of strenght. And violence can of course bypass law.
Think about the UN. The UN and more broadly international public law, humanitarian law are jokes. The real thing that matters is money and its correlate : strenght. Wars can be declared out of the blue when you’re the USA, it doesn’t matter if international law is against it.
A lot of scenes from Mr robot are to my opinion pieces of arts. I am not surprized the TV show was conceived by an immigrant, a son of immigrants born in the US to be precise. An American with Egyptian descent. I tend to think that immigrants (when combined with good education basis) are more smart than natives most of the time. Many businesses are created by immigrants. And well, the most powerful state in the world is a country of immigrants.
