    That bubble helmet may seem abstract enough at first, but the moment the explorer realizes that he's lost it one connects with it like some very personal memory. That moment in this film is truly horrific (for me at least), and i think it feels so horrific in a very real sense because we all know this feeling so deeply but it's buried so well that we no longer have a name for it. This feeling of absolute urgency at recapturing the one most important thing in one's existence is the very same just at the moment of waking up from a very profound dream, before everyday chores and details slowly build and completely eclipse this..this clarity of purpose. Whatever shape or form this lost thing takes on, a bubble helmet or whatever, will be unique each and every time, but the search and the longing for it is the same.
  • John Gottschalk 1 year ago
    It also explains why there's a loop of having the bubble helmet and not having it. Always a search for that something, sometimes obtaining it sometimes not. I think the creator got his bubble helmet when he made this animation.
