Movie Reviews of Ergo Proxy, Volume 2: RE-L124C41+
Movie Review: RELUCTANT REVOLUTIONARY
Summary: 5 Stars
Vincent Law and Pino are still living in the Commune, the ragtag settlement of Romdo outcasts and pariahs outside the dome. A lot of the residents are beginning to wonder if maybe they'd be better off if Vincent was not among them because his presence is inciting more frequent and deadly Romdo patrols. But the leader of the Commune has his own designs for Vincent, raving him up as a revolutionary that could grant them all Romdo citizenship and let them return to their former lives. He even promises that an envoy from the city will soon arrive. Indeed, someone does soon arrive, but it's not a diplomat. It's Re-l, and she's come to take Vincent back, with his consent or without, hoping that he offers a clue to the mystery of the Proxy. Meanwhile, Raul Creed wants revenge on Vincent for making him look bad before the Romdo rulers and plans to kill him as soon as he shows his face.
Even with the bleakness of the Blade Runneresque setting the writer of Ergo Proxy succeeds quite admirably in crafting a very human story about characters who are very far from being human. While I suspect that Vincent is a Proxy and I know Pino is an android, their relationship is becoming one of father and daughter very quickly, as Pino continues to advance in terms of dealing with and analyzing/assimilating human feelings. It's quite a nice bond. Re-l herself is thawing out a bit with her obsessive hunt for Vincent which seems on the surface for information, but beneath it, you sense some sort of romantic investment. There is layer upon layer of motivation for the characters of this series and the fact that you don't quite know the allegiance of each adds to the suspense and intrigue of the show. The plot has come a bit more into focus with a lot more information to be digested in these episodes as to the origin of the Proxies and how Romdo functions. This is a great show so far and looks only to get better.
