- Oryou Rikako (#PsychoPass)
There is something powerful in the conceptualization of a woman's own recognition of her own valuelessness in society ... Oryou Rikako's artistry was her response to a quiet, yet brutal awakening and a response to the world that drove her father into "death by serenity" - the eustress deficiency that all those under Sybil suffer. It's a fascinating study of female psychosis. She strives to free others from the prison of the system that denies them value by giving them artistic merit in death.
Giving homework on this episode is going to be ... difficult but I'm looking forward to the answers. 😆
Tonight's #mediatherapy session was quite difficult ... #PsychoPass is NOT an easy piece of media to work with. It is an angry, brutal, evisceration of Japanese culture and standards ... a harsh criticism that Urobutcher thrusts upon the viewer without any hesitation of sense of fear. Oryou's death is brutal ... and the Shakespeare references only make it more bloody and more horrifying. My student was shaken even before the education on Titus Andronicus and after simply stunned into silence.
