Because it's a play on words. He's a "true man" despite living in a fabricated world.

So what does Christof mean? Is he supposed to be Jesus Christ? Is Jesus demiurge?

Gnosticism was probably popular among writers during the last half of the 90s and these movies were the product.

why is this younger generation so accepting of authority and the mundane, and any sense of rebelling or questioning is seen as "edgy"?
Is this the same bland, conforming sense of cynicism that makes art, music, literature and film so drab and formulaic? Why are you all like this, so afraid to say anything different or weird

>>212517784
How do any of those posts besides the first express that and why do you assume it's a generational thing?

Ed Harris character is 'Christ-of'.

the guy who dropped the bomb and created NATO? their own president during a war they can't stop claiming to have saved the world from? do you think their education is really that bad?

>>212518911
Depends who ‘most Americans’ are. My coworker didn’t know Japan was in world war 2, and thought her doctor told her she was ‘throwing up her bowels’ when he said she was throwing up bile

How old are they?

>do you think their education is really that bad?
I went through the US public education system. I'm not speculating.

This was a 50 year old black woman
You can find her passwords to our secure returns system on post-its on her computer monitor
Her friend also didn’t know wine had calories, similar age

Twin peaks does the same thing down to the name. They even acknowledge it in the first episode. Im sure David Lynch thought he was a genius for doing that
