Hitting the Computer 'Off' Button

In the movie, there is scene where this sociopath begins laughing and it controls how people behave...at least that is what I thought happened in that scene, I have forgotten but I know it is scary. I kept seeing the color red, which is the color of the button on this box in the movie. I then seen the word APPLE. Apple that you eat, Apple the computer brand, Adam's Apple, and Apple like a city (i.e., The Big Apple, Minneapolis). I then remembered that Issachar means "LAUGHING" in Hebrew...you will see this in music lyrics...pearl jam song Jeremy comes to mind. It is subliminal, but I can pick up on it for a number of reasons. I could see the extrinsic value of the first three apples, but not the last...as in the City Apple. That is something that is on your part. I thought the words, "city, seedy, and CD". I fell asleep in this manner. I could be completely wrong, but this is an actual route. The laughing scene is about 1:25 into the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSOjMkoBYYA
I actually experienced a situation like this in real life, it was frightening before, during, and after the event...so I keep it to myself.

Th(e Millennial), I have seen a couple of your comments posted, but this one drew my attention because of the subject versus what you've said above.  You reference a movie that I happened to see, but more-so, other movies have been made on the topic, as well as it having been a subject studied for thousands of years by many philosophers - and that is 'The Consequence of Actions', especially applied to morals in 'sentient humans'.

The Box is about a couple with a young child, who get a box and are given 24-hours to receive $1,000,000 if they will push a button on the box, but at the same moment, pushing the button will cause the death of some unknown-to-them person, somewhere in the world. The moral dilemma that this causes is the subject of the movie, and the general story as well as the meme of 'consequence-of-your-actions' ideal (Aesop covered this as well, as did Socrates).

This said, what you explain as a segue into your analysis does not tie to your own ideas expressed that I can see, in any way. This said, can you please explain to us how this relates in a logical way to what you said after the comparative analysis? I am struggling through more than one of your 'media-comparisons' to understand how 'apples' are leading to 'notebook paper' (analogy).

Thank you.
