Do you dream of living in a home? After seeing Cassandra’s episodes, the mini series of new German fantasy from Netflix, probably not … As a reminder, Cassandra tells the story of the oldest -related home in Germany, which remained empty after 50 years ago. When the precursor family finally moves, AI Cassandra wakes up from sleep, deciding to use all resources at its disposal to make sure they will never be alone.
During the episodes, a safe space that must represent the family house will become a battlefield between the real psychological war between Cassandra and the family that settled in the “home”. During the six episodes, the series goes back and forth between the present and the past to tell us about the life of Cassandra (Lavinia Wilson) when he lived at home and therefore was alive. Let’s go back to all the secrets that the final episode has shown.
Cassandra had a hidden girl
As a series of advancement, we are going to what kind of mother Cassandra is. Everything except the ideal model, despite its efforts and images that try to get back. Her protection instinct towards her son, who is cruel, pushes her to cross all lines, including the hiding of teenage bodies that her son killed.
In the last episode we find that he had a second child with his Hust (Franz Hartwig). But the baby was born with heavy malformations caused by Horta during pregnancy when she used her experimental ultrasound system, causing the baby to irritate her mother.
Due to radiation, the child was born with abnormalities (similar to those who were reported to children born in Chernobyl after the accident of the nuclear power plant). Already frustrated that she has a girl, Horses wants to get rid of her son. Before Cassandra’s resistance, they finally agreed to announce that she was still born and climbing the secret room of the house. She contacted her little mother by turning the oven light and turning off. You can barely make more creeping …
How is Cassandra’s domestic robot and a connected home system?
The first doubts of Samira (Mina Tander) and David (Michael Clamer) that their home system was modeled on the human model was slightly false. The truth is much more frightening. Terminal cancer, due to her husband’s irradiation, Cassandra has become an ideal candidate for her diabolic invention.
This is his whole conscience that has moved outside to the revolutionary computer system. Cassandra received it immediately because it allowed her to stay with her children. Before presenting the procedure, she forced her husband’s assistant to hide from her system. He has to make fake, and only he can activate or turn off the system.
But the experience is degenerated when Horst ends at the house of his fate of Birgit and son he had at home. Cassandra, jealousy, is trying to attack a baby and severely hurt Birgit in the face. This is a lot for Horst who stops leaving, while at the same time leaving Cassandra alone with her secret daughter. Unable to take care of his little daughter in a robot, Cassandra avoids herself after a car accident that killed Horst, their son Peter, Birgit and the baby.
Did the family survive?
In the last episode, Samira is interned at a mental institution, as her family does not want to hear her signals to Cassandra and ends in the belief that she is crazy. She is worried that they cannot reach the Christmas holidays, Samira ends up to find them. On the spot, she realizes that Cassandra took her husband and two children hostage.
His wife, David, was violently attacked by the ordinance of Cassandra, who threatened to attack children if she did not obey her orders. For her husband to escape, Samira hides a secret room where Cassandra’s daughter’s broken body is located. Cassandra’s robot will find it there and eat Samira, but the latter manages to “justify” Cassandra around the maternity issue.
Cassandra understands that Samira’s children would never receive her as a mother, even after her murder … she decides to allow her predecessor family and destroy herself in the fire that causes her. After survival, Samira immediately decided to leave David, who had just tried to kill her.
Women, men’s victims
If you have to remember one lesson from Cassandra, it is not so much about the excesses of artificial intelligence. We will understand this, in contrast, what we have tried to believe in the whole series, Cassandra is not AI. This is the real human consciousness that has been transferred to the home system.
From his moral choice, Cassandra was also a victim of her husband, who only considered him to be a matrix to create little men who would continue to line up and do everything. Similarly, Samira did not benefit from her husband’s support. The latter did not believe it or listened to him when Cassandra’s dangerous behavior sounded an alarm. He was ready to kill him on the pretext of protecting his children.
Samira and Cassandra are two women whose voices are not heard or minimized. But the catharsis end ends with an imbalance of power that arises from these stereotypes in the lives of two women.
