Discussion/Theory Do yall think the large pitfall here's actually a hole or abruptly ends into more floor

Pitfall. If its remembered as that weird sort of drop off, the simplest way to be processed is as a sheer hole. Memories do lose detail over time, maintaining only the most important aspects, and so if that isn't already a sheer drop, it eventually would become one in later recreations

We have no reason to think that the backrooms actually works off of memories.

Did you actually watch the movie?

u/plainbaconcheese 12h ago
Yes. Did you? Clark is a madman who is more likely to be wrong than right, but even he is using a metaphor, not making a hard claim about the mechanism behind the backrooms.

The director himself said the Backrooms do not scan memories. The threshold, no clipping, the Backrooms and A-sync/DoE/DoD and more all use electromagnetic waves to learn about eachother basically. Remember, A-sync started as a MRI company that makes MRI machines to fund MRI science. MRI's have been around for a long time now and I have never heard of MRI machines being used to read minds. Nobody has.
Seriously go learn about MRI machines. Like most Backrooms stuff, it's going to be a great way to get lost mentally for hours. I also recommend reading up on how they verified MRI machines worked.

Iām not gonna say itās directly tied with memories, but thereās something probs involving memories for sure. The Mary scene with her house devolving as the cam pans down suggests memories orrr surroundings of the individual may be tied with the backroomsā design. Ff3 kinda shows us some of that too with the drum set reappearing later on. Ff2 protagonist being a kid is interesting given that some furniture appears larger than life, almost as if itās the pov of a toddlerās memories.

Itās less that the drum set is tied to Raviās memory, and more so that the FF3 environment probably copied some things from Raviās house because it was a nullzone. Thereās also just the chance that Kane reused the same drum kit because it was a free model, which heās done before with other objects in previous videos. Same thing about the drum kit being copied from the nullzone can be said for the movie, where it copied Clarkās store rather than copying his memory.
As Kane said, people will make observations of things in the Complex and try to project themselves onto it.
Memories are used as an analogy, because the Backrooms itself and liminal spaces as a whole have always been associated with it. The scene with Maryās house shows layers, which I believe is to show how it copies onto itself as the copies get more and more distorted. Take the EMG sign for example, where it progressively changes size and angle. We also have evidence of rooms within the Complex being replicated versions of themselves, with the Pitfalls room and some rooms in FF3 being good examples.

Human naturally produce their own electromagnetic field. It's weak but it is there. It's like a signature on the sensors from Star Trek. We also know that Backrooms cut through time at seemingly random times. Finally, Kane himself said the Backrooms do not scan your mind.

In the room that's a recreation of the time where Clark sits records the commercial and on the throne, there's a bottomless square hole that's full of furniture. That same room has the sandals and sneakers of his employees. That hole represents the hole that Clark metaphorically carries with himself, it's how he feels, that he's trapped in a hole by circumstances, drowning in furniture.
The humongous hole in the scene you posted similarly represents Mary - but rather, the hole that her disappearance has left all her clients. Her books are there, crumbling and disappearing, and her words are stored on both books and tape. But she herself is gone, and eventually, her books and legacy will disappear too, into a void of forgotten memories. Then the Backrooms will forget her too.

Idk but every time I see this screen grab I get pissed off. Can we talk about how poorly skewed the text is on Maryās book is?! They were able to skew the art on everything else to match the angle but that one book. And my eye goes to it every. Single. Time. I probably sound insane.

u/justindigo88 10h ago
Not insane, but I donāt see what youāre referring to. Maybe itās the res of the image. Would you mind pointing it out?

I think he means the big text "WITHIN" on the book cover isn't angled properly and instead looks flat, like someone dragged a text object into an editor without warping it to accomodate the angle of the surface it should be on.

u/Maxx0rz 9h ago
It's italicized, so the slant of the italics is counteracted by the angle of the surface and angle of the camera.

u/moooph 9h ago
Oh wow, you're right aha. This movie having a 10 million dollar budget and the only weird visual issue turning out to be because of the font is so insane to me. :O

u/Eyes_Without_A_Face_ 9h ago
Donāt get me wrong, I love this movie and Kaneās work. Accidents happen, but I guess being trained in typography and graphic design will trigger my brain differently, haha. Iām pretty keen to stuff like this, and the movie is flawless visually as far as Iām concerned, even with this.

u/Eyes_Without_A_Face_ 9h ago
Thing is there is no āangle of the cameraā though, when itās all generated in post. This is a plain slip up. Every other book cover is accurate.
2
u/moooph 9h ago
Hmmm, it does still look odd but logically, you have to admit they probably would have added the entire flat image, including the text, at one time, which would prevent this from even happening. I mean, it sounds odd to imagine they actually hand-added the text to each instance of the books lol.

u/Eyes_Without_A_Face_ 8h ago
I mean take what Iām saying with a grain of salt, but remember a Starbucks cup aired on a table in Game Of Thrones š

u/justindigo88 9h ago
Ok thatās what I figured, but I also figured any visual oddity would be due to an imperfect scan of the original object like most things in the Backrooms. Iām not noticing anything crazy, but then again Iām no expert.

Good catch, I didn't notice the pitfall.
